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

Whats (Other) traffic in Google Analytics?
When I look through all our clients, a few are receiving the majority of their traffic from (other). [ Acquisition > Channels > (Other) ]. The only option in (other) is "website" or "offline", whatever that may be. And even weirder, the avg session duration is 0:00. Any idea what this may be?

Should Google Trends Match Organic Traffic to My Site?
When looking at Google Trends and my Organic Traffic (using GA) as percentages of their total yearly values I have a correlation of .47. This correlation doesn't seem right when you consider that Google Trends (which is showing relative search traffic data) should match up pretty strongly to your Organic Traffic. Any thoughts on what might be going on? Why isn't Google Trends correlating with Organic Traffic? Shouldn't they be pulling from the same data set? Thanks, Jacob

Did Analytics change the way to handle Google images searches on Dec 12?
Dear all, One of the sites I'm monitoring receives a lot of traffic from image searches or images that appear in universal search results. On Dec 12th, 2015, the bounce rate for these sessions went from around 30% the day before to around 87%. See screen shot below. Did anybody notice similar bounces in the bounce rate? Did Google change something in the way that image search is handled? Looking forward to your ideas! large?v=mpbl-1&px=999

Google Tag Assistant for Chrome
I'm using the Google Tag Assistant for Chrome, and I noticed something really weird. No matter what pages I look at, the same two GA tags show up. It's weird. You can see the tag that is "working", and then there are two repeats. For example, when I look at this page, I see the GA tag that is working and then all the remarketing tags. Then I see UA-36732895-1 repeated twice. Anyone have any idea what this is? Thanks!

Homepage disappeared from Google's index
The Title says it all..I just discovered that the Homepage is not in Google's index anymore. Homepage rankings have plummeted, our top keywords are nowhere to be found but most of keywords from deeper pages have dropped just one or two places. We just change the website design and some content but I strongly believe this is definitely something else due to the fact that it all happened so fast! There is one thing that I have to mention that might have been caused all this..our email client (Outlook) is using a lot of resources from our server and for the last couple of days the website was down quite a lot.
