No Google organic traffic at all

Hello all,

I have begun a website on Weebly and added Anaytics to it and can see data in Analytics for the site. However under acquisition there is absolutely no Google organic traffic at all which feels unnatural, on other sites I`ve always had a bit of Google traffic. I get Social, Referral (all russian spam!) and Direct but no Google. Could I have somehow shut out Google from the reports?

Any thoughts appreciated. Peter.

  • Ryan Cramer: I want to chime in because I want to know what the forum's view on Weebly is.  ;Additionally, I wanted to ask if your site is being indexed and placing, +Peter Stokes ;? Obviously, if you are not being indexed/placed you won't be getting Google traffic.
  • Peter Stokes: Hi +Ryan Cramer ;The site is being indexed by Google according to Google Webmaster (is that what you mean), since mid December.  ;It did get a few organic search reports early on but have since died off, Yes thoughts on Weebly would be good, I like it as far as it goes, but am learning Wordpress too.
  • Ryan Cramer: If the results have "died off", it could be for many reasons. My guess is weak/duplicate content... but it could be any number of things. Perhaps you may want to contact one of the moderators and ask them to look at your site for a more specific overview of what may be the reason.
