Hi Guys,

One of my clients has this code showing up, and it is receiving data!

Is this normal? First time I ever see such a code!

Thanks for clarifying!

in this case you are lucky it is an update to Goggle's analytics code.

However,checking your source code is always a smart idea. If you want to be sure your site is safe I would run it through Sucuri in the future but so you know this is a regular update.

Here is the Sucuri URL

http://sucuri.net/

here is the universal analytics from Google URL

I hope this helped,

URL structure for a product that belongs to several categories

Hi, We are setting up the URL structure for a big webshop and this raised the following questions regarding the URL's for products that belong to several categories (most of the products do, so the same approach would be used for products that just belong to one category). There are three options in my point of view: Use root-level product page URLs (limits trackability in Analytics software because you can not specify on product types)
URL: example.com/product-1/ Use product type URL directories for all products (which at least offers minimum trackability of all separate product types in Analytics software)
URL: example.com/book/product-1/ Use product URLs built upon category URL structures, but ensure that each product page URL has a single, designated canonical URL.
URL: example.com/category-A/product-1/ with canonical= example.com/category-A/product-1/ URL: example.com/category-B/product-1/ with canonical= example.com/category-A/product-1/ Which option is the preferred one? Thanks!

We setup a new Google Analytics account for the new domain but the old one is still there

Hi, Our company has changed their domain almost a year ago and after the migration, they created a new Google Analytics account rather than changing the address on the existing GA account. Now I can still see that Google indexing the old domain. Just wanted to ask if we can still tell Google that we've changed the domain on the old one? Or, should we just go ahead and use the new one and delete the old one? Very confusing, but our traffic is constantly dropping although we rank for on the first page for tracked keywords, just want to understand if there is a connection between the organic traffic droppings and not telling Google we've changed the domain. Thanks! NJt7vbJ

Are these Search Console crawl errors a major concern to new client site?

We recently (4/1) went live with a new site for a client of ours. The client site was originally Point2 before they made the switch to a template site with Real Estate Webmasters. Now when I look into the Search Console I am getting the following Crawl Errors: 111 Server Errors (photos) 104 Soft 404s (blogs, archives, tags) 6,229 Not Found (listings) I have a few questions. The server errors I know not a lot about so I generally ignore. My main concerns are the 404s and not found. The 404s are mostly tags and blog archives which I wonder if I should leave alone or do 301s for each to /blog. For not found, these are all the previous listings from the IDX. My assumption is these will naturally fall away after some time, as the new ones have already indexed. But I wonder what I should be doing here and which will be affecting me. When we launched the new site there was a large spike in clicks ( 250% increase) which has now tapered off to an average of ~85 clicks versus ~160 at time of launch. Not sure if the Crawl Errors have any effect, I'm guessing not so much right now. I'd appreciate your insights Mozzers!

Installing Google Analytics tracking code on Landing Pages

Hello, I have my landing pages located on a separated subdomain (LP.example.com). I've created a new property in Google Analytics for that subdomain.

I have another issue: I've placed the GA Tracking code on some pages in the way below:
in the body tag of that Landing page HTML Code I added this line:

URL Structure Q - /UniqueURL/ProductA or /SubcategoryURL/ProductA?

Hi Mozers, I have a niche ecommerce site http://www.ecustomfinishes.com that sells custom barn wood furniture. I have about 600 products online. 2 weeks ago I started rewriting my urls from /subcategoryurl/ProductA to /UNIQUEURL/productA for my individual products, For example for my subcategory farm tables (150 products) I had /rustic-farm-tables/productA, /rustic-farm-tables/ProductB ...."rustic-farm-table" about 150 times. 2 weeks ago I started changing the 150x "/rustic-farm-table/" to a more descriptive URL such as /white-farm-table/producA /rustic-square-dining-table/ProductB /Black-harvest-table/ProductC Here is why I am need advice: I have 1181 pages, the page with the most entrances with "rustic-farm-tables" is #31/1181 based on entrances. the 2nd most is #71/1181 Alternatively, I have 13 table product pages such a as /12ft-Rustic-Farm-Dining-Table-p/12-foot-table-with-inlay.htm" that get more entrances than any product that includes "rustic-farm-tables" Since changing the urls to be product specific, my overall traffic has dropped 20%!!! So here is my question: do i continue to have the /UNIQUEURL/product be unique to the product, which is consistant amongst my best preforming pages, yet has dropped my traffic 20% in the last 2 weeks, OR do i keep /SAME-URL/product which written as a best practice, and be happy with the traffic I had? Could the 20% drop just be a temporary shock? Why would this happen? This would be a good long tail/head term experiment. Try to get more head terms, or do what you can do focus on long tail. I hope i was able to explain this well, I say follow the best practices of my best preforming pages, however the 20% drop has me worried. Thank you in advance for your help

Help configuring GA Async code for an older CMS platform

Hey Guys, I don't know if anyone can help or not, but my CMS support seem to not be interested in helping me configure the GA Async code for whatever reason. I am pretty sure the code is firing twice on the site and is masking the true bounce rate. I want to maintain tracking of e commerce transactions and event tracking, but It is beyond me how to configure the A sync code to track these events accurately. I do not want to start hap haphazardly experimenting, so I am asking for help instead. At present our CMS has to have GA tracking enabled on some code in the site, I imagine this populates the GA with the transaction info. here is a link to the support forum I am using to try to find a solution. http://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=81704&whichpage=2 I have been over the GA forums too. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Low bounce rate; need help troubleshooting code

I've had an outside developer do a bunch of custom work in Google Analytics to get my site to integrate with Foxycart and accurately report sales in the ecommerce section. With a foxycart upgrade came more GA tweaking, and now my bounce rate is at 1-2%. I know this isn't right, and suspecting there is something triggering GA a second time, causing a second page load, or something. Could someone that loves code look at http://www.strikemodels.com/ and tell me if they can easily spot what's obliterating the accuracy of my bounce rate calculations? Or do I need to go back to my dev and up the can of GA worms to troubleshoot things? As you can tell by the code, I'm running the latest version of WP with a few plugins, Thesis 1.8, and on Apache.
