Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Let's say I built a directory link and it takes a while to go live. Is there a tool that will crawl the site and notify me when the link goes live?

What is the difference between Disallow: /*?utm_ and Disallow: /?utm_  ?

I am trying to block roger from crawling some UTM urls we have created, but having no luck. My robots.txt file looks like:

User-agent: rogerbot
Disallow: /?utm_source*

This does not seem to be working. Any ideas? 

For example, let's say someone enters via a landing page, and instead of having a form there is a button to a form. What percentage of people will click the button and fill out the form vs if the form was right there on the page? Basically, I am trying to figure out what percentage of users do websites lose for every click a user makes on the site.

Thanks all for the great responses. We actually had a very funky issue where we had set up some event tracking. The event tracking for some reason was preventing or not creating a page view when someone had performed the action. We have since fixed it and everything appears to be working right. Thanks for everyone's help with this, all the articles and comments helped us dig into this and pinpoint what was going on. Thanks again!

Does cloudflare work on state level?

Blitzna10, I agree that we should suggest a page rather than forward them to the page we "think" they should go to. However, I have been out voted ;(.

If we have to forward users to a state specific page, what is the best method to do so? A 301, 302, JS redirect, Some other technology I am unaware of?

Currently we are using a 302.

One website I manage wants to redirect users to state specific pages based on their location. What is the best way to accomplish this?

For example a user enters the through site.com but they are in Colorado so we want to direct them to site.com/colorado.

Here is the picture.

I have a website I work with and for the past month we have a reported 36,834 sessions and 25,490 pageviews? How is this possible? If a users comes to the site isn't that a session and a pageview? Or How can you have a session with out a page view?

After combing over several competitor sites I have found many if not the majority of their links are from directories. I am curious to know if individuals/companies/seos etc. still use directories, if so what are some of the favorites?
