Google Search Console All Verfication Methods Failed
-
Hi Guys,
We are trying to get google webmaster tools verified for this site: https://www.nookie.com.au/
We have implemented the recommended: HTML tag from Search Console which is:
Which is installed see: http://prntscr.com/g66cle
However, verification still failed. We then tried Google Analytics (failed), alternative methods (HTML file upload failed) Google Tag Manager.
All failed. I have no idea why this has happened, any ideas?
Cheers.

Until I know, you can verify any property no matter the order
http://www.site.com
http://site.com
https://www.site.com
http://www.site.comThe important thing is register all and then set the right version

Hi ViviaCa1,
I don't believe you need to verify the http version first before https, are you 100% sure about this?
-
Have you already verified the website with http? When verifying https websites you need to add and verify the website with just http first: http://www.nookie.com.au/

Ok this is your tag
In you case you have many options available
1.If you have access to your cpanel and your hosting, just dowload the verication code (html file available as an option on search console) you dowload the file and then upload it to your htdocs folder (www folder). IMPORTANT on this case when you finish to upload the file. Be sure that the HTML file is available to the crawler. Just type directly on chrome www.yoursite.com/theverificationcode.html if the browser shows you the page everything is right and then you should try to verify the website, if not maybe you have a problem in your hosting or in your htaccess file.2.As you mention you have problem with the html tag, on this case make sure that you are using the right tag, first check that the code is right or make sure that you are not using the code of other of your properties, remember that search console use a unique code for every user so make sure that is the right code (maybe in the website you are using the code of other person) THE IMPORTANT THING IS MAKE A DOUBLE CHECK TO THE CODE
3. I didn't found any Google Analytics Script, so first add the google analytics tracking code and then try to verify the property.
Regards

Is having the same URL in several sitemaps a problem for google?
We have 30 sitemaps, one for each language version of our site. About 5000 pages per sitemap.
Reporting & Analytics | | lcourse
To get a better idea on which pages google is not indexing, I thought about quickly generating sitemaps by page cagetories to see if there are any patterns. Any problems if I submit now new additional sitemaps dividing all our pages by product page, considering that the same pages are already in our existing sitemaps we submitted in the search console. So having same URL in more than 1 sitemap would be a problem? As a side note, we observed when adding a sitemap index that google search console in its count of total indexed pages, now counts every page twice since we submitted both the sitemap index and the individual sitemaps, so search console does not recognize in count that sitemaps in sitemaps index are identical to the ones we submitted individually in search console.0 -
How is Google Analytics defining page depth?
We run two websites and as part of our KPIs we are treating those who visit 3 or more pages of our website as a client served. As a digital team we are not convinced that this is the best metric to use as the improvements we are making to the sites mean that people are able to find the information quicker. Additionally other organisations including forums etc link to us so those users will get the info they need in one click. What I would like to know is how Google calculates page depth in GA. Are they treating the landing page as ground zero and then when users clicks a link they go one page deep? Or is the landing page, page depth 1 . Is page depth a measure of how many clicks a user needs to find their information?

Google Analytics
Looking at a client's analytics - one page doesn't seem to record 'average time on page' data (it just displays 0.00 despite it receiving traffic) This isn't an issue for the rest of the website's pages. Any idea? http://www.smilestyledental.co.uk/ppc/general-dentistry-at-smile-style.html thanks for any help!

Google Analytics complexe solution?
Hello, We have Google Analytics on our website and we have started to track the conversions.
Reporting & Analytics | | lunacloud
Basically we have a goal with 3 steps: Account Details (Personal Information) Confirmation (Mobile Confirmation Code) Email ( confirmation link) On the last step (Destination Goal) we send an email to the customer with the account confirmation link, the tracking works perfectly. Our problem is with the Goal Completions on "Traffic Sources" >> "AdWords" >> "Campaigns", Analytics doesn't add the conversions. This problem is related to the email confirmation? There is any solution to overcome this problem? Thank you! yzujFZU.png f4fay1G.png0 -
Google Analytics Showing Inflated Product Revenue
Hi- For the month of Feb on two of our sites we are seeing inflated product revenues. I have not seen this before and I am not having any luck searching for answers. Here is the issue: Product B sells for $159.95 For the month of Feb we sold 3 thus revenue should be ~$479.85 GA is showing Product B's revenue at $3,360.00 I read online that sometimes folks will bookmark the receipt page and that can cause this and we would need to put a catch in place for this but I am guessing this is not the case as it is happening on two sites. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Setting up Google Analytics default URL
If someone has set: the default url in Google Analytics to a non-www address (http://mysite.com) then placed the UA tracking script from that GA account within the CMS framework of the website... ... and then set the permanent 301 redirect in the htaccess file to redirect to the www address (http://www.mysite.com). How less accurrate will my GA analytics measurements be considering the default url within GA is non-www and the permanent 301 redirect in htacess is to the www-address? Anyone know how reliable GA reports are until the default url in GA analytics is changed to match what is the redirected url in htaccess file? _Cindy
