| Jan 30, 2013 at 15:14 | comment | added | Chris W. Rea | @slhck In case you're interested in following: Can we add moderator features to see keyword analytics and annotated traffic graphs for specific question? - Meta Stack Overflow | |
| Jan 30, 2013 at 14:04 | comment | added | Chris W. Rea | @slhck Planning to ask there, yes. I've been yearning for more detailed analytics in the mod tools (over at money) and seeing this question here at SU meta made me think about it again, as an example of where it might be useful to, say, have access on a per question basis to the top keywords that resulted in the page being viewed. Maybe even tie the data back to specific versions/edits made to the page. | |
| Jan 30, 2013 at 14:00 | comment | added | slhck Mod | @ChrisW.Rea I can see what you mean. I guess the primary reason for removing these tags is that they're not useful for us as a site. Whether that affects search traffic, I honestly don't know. Maybe it would be good to raise this discussion in a separate question or even on Meta Stack Exchange? | |
| Jan 30, 2013 at 13:58 | comment | added | Chris W. Rea | I've no evidence, which is also reflective of the problem. We're removing post metadata without any tools to measure the impact of said change. While human editors may believe such tags don't add meaning to a post, we're making an assumption that what human editors do is OK for (or at least not harmful to) search engines (OK, Google) and its users (being the major source of traffic). It's an assumption, only. Such action may be harmful to search traffic. | |
| Jan 30, 2013 at 7:39 | comment | added | slhck Mod | @ChrisW.Rea Can you show an example of a question that one couldn't find if it wasn't for a "warning" tag? I'd assume most of these questions include the word "warning" or "alert" in some way in the plain text, and I'm pretty sure Google synonymizes them or gives those related words higher weight. | |
| Jan 30, 2013 at 1:57 | comment | added | Chris W. Rea | What if folks are trying to find information with Google by using additional keywords "warning" or "alert" and their only occurence is in the tag? Wouldn't it be bad to remove them from the questions? | |

| Jan 24, 2013 at 23:16 | comment | added | Abhinav | I am wondering if alert, warning and notification can be used as aliases? Otherwise, alert would be my choice, I find it much broader in scope than the other two. | |

| Jan 23, 2013 at 19:27 | comment | added | TFM | To cite @slhck: What if people want to follow those tags, because they're experts on... alerts and warnings? :p | |
| Jan 23, 2013 at 16:04 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | I see no particular reason to keep them around, personally. | |
