Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted May 10, 20168 yr Hi there, I've been noticing a significant drop in page viewed on my forum (almost half). I understand that some feature now work without actually refreshing the page but as a publisher, loosing half my pageviews cuts half of my CPM revenues... How is it going to be adressed?
May 10, 20168 yr You can disable ajax pagination under the custom tab of the settings for the theme that you're using.
May 10, 20168 yr Author Just did, i'll monitor the changes that it makes on my page viewed. Thanks for your time @Colonel_mortis
May 11, 20168 yr Author Do you think that the AJAX component is the sole responsible for this massive drop in page views?
May 11, 20168 yr Do you think that the AJAX component is the sole responsible for this massive drop in page views? It will have made a considerable difference, though I don't know whether it can account for all of the drop - it depends on your site. The best way to tell is to see if the view count recovers once it's disabled.
May 11, 20168 yr Author Sure is a short sampling period but I don't any jump in page views on my side... Any one had any luck by killing the AJAX component?
May 13, 20168 yr Management This is resolved in a future update (possibly 4.1.12) - we will notify Google of a page request upon ajax calls.
May 30, 20168 yr Author This is resolved in a future update (possibly 4.1.12) - we will notify Google of a page request upon ajax calls. Was it part of the latest update? I don't recall seing it in the list of element fixed or new features
May 31, 20168 yr even my page views were almost halved though ajax was disabled in theme as suggested.... please share what is the issue - how long it had been as for me this is from last two months ...
May 31, 20168 yr even my page views were almost halved though ajax was disabled in theme as suggested.... What forum system were you using before?
May 31, 20168 yr I have been upgrading within 5 days at the release so it has been always latest........... but the site traffic has been increasing ... I was wondering y parevenue was decreasing and then realized decrease in page views. and today saw this post so trying to co relate
May 31, 20168 yr My page views has gone down - but IPS has upgraded my cloud package in the last two months
May 31, 20168 yr I have been upgrading within 5 days at the release so it has been always latest........... but the site traffic has been increasing ... I was wondering y parevenue was decreasing and then realized decrease in page views. and today saw this post so trying to co relate Sorry I meant what forum system were you using before the drop? or did you notice a drop between IPB v4 versions? (aka 4.0.X to 4.1.X)
May 31, 20168 yr Sorry I meant what forum system were you using before the drop? or did you notice a drop between IPB v4 versions? (aka 4.0.X to 4.1.X) Not sure... but this drop started from April first week, and so whichever was latest at that moment.... IPS upgrades are so fast not easy to recall...
May 31, 20168 yr Not sure... but this drop started from April first week, and so whichever was latest at that moment.... IPS upgrades are so fast not easy to recall... If you had a drop between say 4.1.1 - 4.1.2 (aka minor version) then its possible its a google traffic drop.
June 1, 20168 yr If you had a drop between say 4.1.1 - 4.1.2 (aka minor version) then its possible its a google traffic drop. What will be the solution?
June 2, 20168 yr What will be the solution? You will need to drill into Google Analytics to confirm the sources of your traffic but if its mostly caused by lack of traffic from Google I would check Googles webmaster tools and see if it reports any errors/issues. If it doesnt and google has tweaked the search algorithm then there is little you can do sadly.
July 14, 20168 yr Author This is resolved in a future update (possibly 4.1.12) - we will notify Google of a page request upon ajax calls. Any updates on what update this is going to get fixed?
May 3, 20177 yr Author My page view counts is still way below what is used to be for the same amount of traffic... Any updates or people with the same issue? Thanks
May 3, 20177 yr I think this was supposed to fix any pageview issues: Especially judging from this in the comments: Does this mean that all this time our page views were wrong? Edit: Reason I am asking is that when we migrated from vbulletin, we lost around 40 to 60% of our pageviews, and we never got that back. They weren't 'wrong' per se, but Google Analytics wouldn't track dynamic pages by default, and since we use ajax to load a lot of content in IPS4, those actions wouldn't count as a view. That goes a long way towards explaining why you'd see a drop in overall page views. This change will enable those dynamic page views to be tracked.
May 4, 20177 yr Author I was under the same impression but when I look at my stats, the page view count is way below what it used to be for more visitors...
