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!

Google RankBrain Update Affecting Ranking Reports?
In the past 2 months we have been seeing a large amount of movement in our ranking reports in Moz Pro. Here is what is going on: We run reports for around 15 different clients using Moz. We also track around an average of 100-150 different keywords for each client (some more, some less). What I have seen lately is that we have a week where the sites do great, next week a large shift down. The week after a large shift up. The next week a large shift down. Rinse, repeat. It makes it very hard to spot the trouble areas on a page or keyword when there doesn't really seem to be a consistent way of knowing what the trends are. It appears to be random, and the next week they seem to recover, along with some that do not. We will see some keywords drop 30 places, only to regain the majority of that drop the following week. Some of the sites have received content updates while others have remained largely untouched. It is very confusing to see this pattern, and I have tracked it for about 2 months. Is anyone seeing a similar pattern in their reports? Could this be related to the rollout of Google's RankBrain, the new AI learning tech from Google? Most of the keywords are tracked are not long tail, and are basic local business/service type of keywords. Plumber in St Louis, etc etc

My homepage is not getting indexed by google for some reason
My homepage http://www.truebluelifeinsurance.com is not indexed by google. The rest of my site is indexed. The hompage is indexed by bing. I looked in the webmaster tools and there is no indication why. I believe the issue started when I did a site re-design in August. Any ideas?

Google+ Local Business Page not appearing
I have a local verified google + listing and recently just went to update it nicely. even though it has been around for months, however Google just can't seem to index it, does anybody know the reason why? I have tried " hard-searching" for it and it is not even indexed! However if i find hard enough, it will appear in google maps, and also my domain has been around for months, if not a year however under Moz Open Site explorer it indicates it is a super new domain and even alexa is not recognizing any data even though it has traffic. The only thing i have done is i have shifted servers two months ago. Does that translate to a new site? I hope not...

So far, it has had a problem atleast 4 times where i've had to disconnect and re-connect it to my campaign which then erase's the data that it has received. Is this a common problem or am i doing something incorrectly? Thanks Guys!!

SEOMoz toolbar - Anyone else have problems with Search Profiles?
(Using Firefox 7.0.1) I just downloaded the toolbar and the Custom Search Profiles do not work--clicking on any of them adds "%" and numbers to the search query. I've created a couple of specific locations and I'd really like to get this figured out. Does this function work correctly for anyone? Am I doing something wrong?

Www. part of url not showing on google search results.
When typing in fun translator into google UK, my website www.funtranslator.com is the 18th result on the 2nd page, however, there is an issue, it only shows funtranslator.com, without the www part, which is not what I want because the whole address to show up, because my campaign on seomoz pro and webmaster tools account is www.funtranslator.com not funtranslator.com. How can I resolve this. For not, I have a redirect that goes from funtranslator to www.funtranslator.com I want to know how to get the full www.url into the results instead of just url.com without the www part of the url. Also, will this affect my stats gathered in my campaign on my seomoz pro account?
