      Hi,

      We are trying to consolidate the amount of landing pages on our site, is there any way to find landing pages with a particular URL substring which have had 0 traffic?

      The minimum which appears in google analytics is 1 visit.

        This is a really nice solution! Thanks for sharing. It's super quick as well, so a GA export and a few VLOOKUPs/pivots later and you're sorted - nice one!

              He is trying to consolidate or find the total number of landing pages that do not have any traffic at all. So, screaming frog seo spider can be used to crawl the entire website (with the substring in the URLs) and substitute the URLs that have driven at least 1 visitor. He is not trying to get a hold of his historic or old analytics data. The question is pretty straight forward unless I missed something.

                Yes, but how does that help him get the old data he needs? Crawlers shouldn't know your traffic unless you install the code they give you or verify some other way.  Find it to be a crawler causing the problem unlikely unless I misunderstood the problem/question.   I sure hope they have a Linux host (most are) and can just check the apache logs while Google Analytics takes a few days to update.

                  What webhost are you using?  Most keep analytics software enabled by default or at least lets you turn it on.  (While you wait for Google.)  Analytics are a key part to SEO so I use awstats (free), and webalizer.  With most hosts if not enabled its as easy as clicking a button.

                  Depending on your host, you might be able to get the raw log info, but most hosts don't have this option unless you paid for a fancy account which allows root shell access, but maybe not it differs from site to site.

                  Google Analytics will only show 1 visit if you are the only visitor even if you refresh the page or come pack.  It saves your IP address and hardware profile most likely is the method they use. Make sure you change Google Analytics to display as far back as possible.

                    Hi, you can use a crawler like Screaming Frog SEO Spider to come up with total number of pages with some unique string in the URLs, substitute the URLs that have traffic from these and the rest will be ones with no traffic.

                    You will have to use the paid version of Screaming Frog SEO Spider if you want to crawl more than 500 pages and here is the section of the user guide that tells you how to do a regex crawl:

                    Best regards,

                      Change Phone Number Based on Traffic Source + Ping URL for Call Tracking Number

                      Hi Everyone, Is there a tool that can change the phone number on a web page based on the visitor source (i.e., direct, organic, paid, etc.)? I'd like to implement a solution like this with different call tracking numbers based on the visitor source.  We use the Google suite for our analytics (GA, GTM, Google Data Studio, Google Optimize is also an option as well). - Also, is there a good call tracking service that will ping a URL each time the phone number is called so that we can track these calls as events in GA? The majority of our visitors use a desktop PC and dial in the number on the screen rather than clicking (tapping) on it from a mobile device. Thanks, Andy

                      Google Analytics reporting traffic for 404 pages

                      Hi guys, Unique issue with google analytics reporting for one of our sites. GA is reporting sessions for 404 pages (landing pages, organic traffic) e.g. for this page: http://www.milkandlove.com.au/breastfeeding-dresses/index.php the page is currently a 404 page but GA (see screenshot) is reporting organic traffic (to the landing page). Does anyone know any reasons why this is happening? Cheers. http://www.milkandlove.com.au/breastfeeding-dresses/index.php GK0zDzj.jpg

                      How to safely exclude search result pages from Google's index?

                      Hello everyone,
                      I'm wondering what's the best way to prevent/block search result pages from being indexed by Google. The way search works on my site is that search form generates URLs like:
                      /index.php?blah-blah-search-results-blah I wanted to block everything of that sort, but how do I do it without blocking /index.php ? Thanks in advance and have a great day everyone!

                      Organic Traffic From...Mountain View, CA?

                      I've noticed something a little odd in my organic search traffic lately.  Looking at several websites that target the Minneapolis area, I'm seeing some organic searches come in (typically using head keywords - no geo-modifier) from Mountain View, CA.  There's no way we are truly ranking well on these terms in California, so it certainly feels like Google sniffing around.  I was worried that perhaps they were checking into penalizing us or something, but we've actually seen upticks in search traffic lately.  This traffic is not showing up in Google Analytics, just Adobe SiteCatalyst.  In the past, spikes from random locations were probably some sort of crawler, like the preview bot, but these are coming in as searches with (for now) keyword data. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

                      Why did my site go from 1,000 Impressions to 0 impressions over the past couple days

                      so we have been doing a lot of reconstruction our website the past couple days with our navigation and moving stuff around. Now bare with me because i am a noob to SEO and i am still learning. But we went from a steady 800-1000 impressions everyday to a 0 since the first. you can check out our site here: www.hidguy.net Not sure if its because we are moving stuff around or what. But we can notice that our conversion rate has dropped and we have had traffic but no conversions and no orders. Is what we are doing bad or is this normal?

                      Has Anyone Else Noticed A Jump In Google Analytics Traffic Since Session Parameters Were Changed?

                      Ever since Google Analytics changed their session parameters August 12th I have seen a 20% jump in organic traffic & bounce rates along with a decline in pages/visit and conversion rate. To be clear, I don't put a whole heck of a lot of stock in these metrics as stand-alone indications of how my site is performing.  I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this blip. I noticed some other people mentioned a similar phenomenon in other SEO forums and blog comments, but nobody seems to be talking about this here at SEOMoz (unless I just haven't looked in the right place). I'm not saying the change I noticed has anything to do with the session update, I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar so that I can either cross it off the list of possible causes or explore further.

                      Abnormal Spike in Traffic- Ddos or what?

                      We've noticed a 100% increase in our traffic over the last three days. However, the page views have not increased proportionately. The traffic sources seemed to be dispersed naturally. Could this be a Ddos in the making or some other type of attack as it seems unlikely that we suddenly started receiving thousands of extra visitors. Its a leading news website with a consistent heavy traffic daily which just doubled over the last three days. What should we be looking at?

                      Why does Google Analytics think PPC traffic is organic?

                      I have a bastard of a problem... Google Analytics is incorrectly tracking PPC traffic as SEO which is screwing up all my reporting . I don't care for rankings, I care for actual SEO traffic and I can't be sure that what i am seeing is correct which is driving me nuts. Any ideas?
