GA Regular Expression
-
Can anyone tell me how to do a regular expression in the new version of GA? I want to remove specific keywords from organic reports.
In the previous version of GA I used the following (phrase1|phrase2|phrase3) but that doesn't work anymore.

Thanks Craig...didn't see that!

Hi Omar,
The option is still there. Next the the search box that you used to put the RegEx in, click on the advanced tab and select "Exclude" , "Keyword" "matching RegEx"
See the attached image. I hope this helps.

Hi Omar,
Wow, missed this one. Quite weird that Google Analytics 'decided' to leave the Does not Match Regular Expression out of the new version for advanced segments. I know this is not the best solution. But while the old version is still available I would recommend to create an advanced segment in there. It will also be available in the new version.
Allright, Craig beat me on this ;-)! Missed the exclude for this one.

Help me exclude our dynamic IP addresses from GA
Hi There, I can't believe we are the first SEO Web Development company with the issue of dynamic IP addresses, for technical reasons our ISP keeps changing our IP addresses to different random IP addresses (no patterns, ranges, or reasoning to the specific changes) and we obviously need to exclude our own visits to google analytics - but I can't seem to find any simple way to do this in Google Analytics - can you help me find a simple solution for this? I did find two chrome extensions(I'll give you the links to those at the end) that I will look into if you cant help me find a simpler solution 🙂 Thanks so much!! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/block-yourself-from-analy/fadgflmigmogfionelcpalhohefbnehm?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/developer-cookie/lknhpplgahpbindnnocglcjonpahfikn

Regular Expression Question
We are having a little trouble coming up with a goal that shows how many product pageviews we are getting but I need to exclude search results pageviews that (unfortunately) have the same URL structure. Because it's an outside CMS, we have not ability to change the URL architecture. Products are on these types of pages: https://porscheasheville.com/inventory/Porsche+Boxster+Asheville+North+Carolina+2016+Rhodium+Silver+Metallic+536911 https://porscheasheville.com/inventory/Audi+A4+2.0T+Premium+Plus+Asheville+North+Carolina+2015+Gray+638379 Search results pages have this URL structure: https://porscheasheville.com/inventory/new/ https://porscheasheville.com/inventory/?condition=new&make=Porsche&model=Boxster https://porscheasheville.com/inventory/used/ https://porscheasheville.com/inventory/?condition=used&model=A4+2.0T+Premium+Plus I am hoping to create a GA goal with regular expressions showing only the product pages and not allowing the search results pages show up. Here's what I have, it's not working - any regex experts out there who can help? /inventory/[new/][used/] Thanks as always MOZ friends!

Finding missing GA code
Hi guys, I'm trying to find missing Google Analytics code on pages using Screaming Frog. I usually use Screaming Frog to find pages missing GA tracking but sometimes i encounter websites like: http://tinyurl.com/qjbdyxr which don't contain the GA code in the html (even though there is a GA code on the page). I'm guessing its located somewhere else and pulled in from somewhere? Any suggestions? Cheers,

Regular Expressions in Google Analytics
I want to use the Google Analytics landing page reports to look at the bounce rate of top level pages excluding the homepage. So pages with urls: www.example.com/example Does anyone know a regular expression that will allow me to do this? Just to clarify I do not want to look at the bounce rate of the homepage or any pages deeper than www.example.com/example e.g: www.example.com/example/example www.example.com/example/example/example etc Thanks in advance
