How to fix problem with google analytics connection?
-
In the Organic Traffic Data Report I receive always the same message: "It appears there's a problem with our connection to your Google Analytics account. Please go to your Settings page to update your connection." In the settings I've choosen the correct Google Analytics Account with the correct profile. Thanks for any hints.
Is it because using www. in the GA Profil but *.xyz.ch without www in the campaigns settings?

Hi Aaron
Thanks a lot for the help. I've also created a www. Campaign an there it worked out without any problem. In my case the solution also was to disconnect and reconnect to the GA Account.
Well finally, works great!
-
Great, thanks for the confirmation Aaron.
One of the accounts that I re-created actually came up with this issue and sure enough when I disconnected and reconnected it worked nicely.
I'm sure all the 'losing all your data' talk when disconnecting your account would scare the hell out of some people! Good to know that it will be re-populated in time anyway.

@sk That is definitely one of the solutions! There are a few reasons this might be happening. Usually, if you have the correct account and profile already selected, the only fix is to disconnect the GA account and then reconnect it. While it does say that you'll lose some data by doing this, the data loss is temporary because we'll repopulate it all when you reconnect from historical data in GA the entire re-population could take a few days though since we won't have it cached anymore). Also, make sure that you have selected the correct account and profile in GA.
You can verify this by going to your GA account, going to the profile that corresponds with your campaign, finding the number of that profile, and checking it against the profile number embedded in your homepage you're tracking. If they match up, you're gold! GA accounts and profiles can sometimes get mixed up so if you have more than one of either, try changing it to another profile. It might work that way.
You may have to wait for traffic data to repopulate but the current data in the Traffic Data tab will repopulate pretty quickly (immediately most of the time). Hope that helps! If you're still not able to get it to work, send us an email at help@seomoz.org with your PRO email address, the campaign that's having issues, and examples/screenshots of your GA account if you can! We'll try to get you running ASAP.

Yep, your suspicions were right.
I just created another campaign based on the same settings as my *.domain campaign except this time with www.domain instead and the traffic data has shown up immediately.
Perhaps during the campaign creation there could be a note to explain that if the GA profile is a subdomain i.e. prefixed with www then the campaign must be set up to match. SEOmoz?
I'll have to go back and recreate my campaigns which isn't too bad for me but I can imagine if you had been running SEOmoz for a while and only just connected your analytics profile you would be going postal!
-
I'm having the same issue and also thinking the *.domain in campaign while www.domain issue might be the key.
The closest helpful thing I found is here http://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/20031127-lesson-3-connect-google-analytics but all it says regarding troubleshooting is: "Sometimes you can’t connect a Google Analytics account if our servers time out while communicating with Google. If this happens, it’s best to try again later."
If I figure it out I'll let you know!

GWMT / Search Analytics VS OpenSiteExplorer
Just had the experience of using OSE data to show what we call "linkrot" to a client -- only to find that GWMT / Search Analytics shows no such thing. Fortunately the client is an old friend and no face was lost, but it was dicey there for a bit as I have come to rely on and reference OSE again and again and again, OSE showed Domain Authority dropping by about 1/3 in the last 12 months, presumably due to old links getting broken, linking sites changing their architecture etc. And of course, ranking is tanking, as you would expect. But Google shows many more (and much more spammy looking!) backlinks. Has anyone had any experience benchmarking the 2 data sets of backlinks against each other? Dr Pete?

How to Fix 404 Errors
Hey Moz'ers - I just added a new site to my Moz Pro account and when I got the crawl report back there was a ton of 404 errors (see attached). I realize the best way to fix these is to manually go through every single error and see what the issue is... I just don't have time right now, and I don't have a team member that can jump on this either, but realize this will be a huge boost to this client if/when I get these resolved... So my question is: Is there a quicker way to get these resolved? Is there an outsourcing company that can fix my clients errors correctly? Thanks for the help in advance:) wBhzEeV

Why is MOZ and Google search Volume so different?
A search term in MOZ shows the monthly search volume to be 49K. In Google, the same term shows the search volume at only 1300 monthly searches. Which do I trust? Thanks, Don

How do fix an 803 Error?
I got am 803 error this week on the Moz crawl for one of my pages. The page loads normally in the browser. We use cloudflare. Is there anything that I should do or do I wait a week and hope it disappears? 803 Incomplete HTTP response received Your site closed its TCP connection to our crawler before our crawler could read a complete HTTP response. This typically occurs when misconfigured back-end software responds with a status line and headers but immediately closes the connection without sending any response data.

Moz Pro vs. Moz Analytics
Beta version has been out for awhile. Curious to know what people think of Moz Analytics. Personally, I'm having a hard time making the switch from Pro to Moz Analytics because I'm so used to the navigation and layout of Pro. What does everyone else think of the new Moz Analytics? Advantages? Disadvantages?
