Is Google still differentiating TLD?
-
I need to find an article or something with factual findings that shows Google no longer gives extra value to .com, .net, .us, edu. etc. or proving that is still does.

Ok, I do not really have a post or Google word on this but from the experience here is what I can say!
- General URLs like .com, .net and others, Google give no priority to any over other and there are other signals that affect the rankings
- TLDs like .info .cc and more yes Google give a little low priority to them as most of them are not used for information providing or in other words they are mostly used by spammers.
- ccTLDs, obviously Google give more priority to ccTLDs in specific countries for instance .co.uk will get more weight in UK then in the US market and this make complete sense to me.
Sorry as I didn’t find what you require online but this is what I am saying based on my experience.
Hope this helps!

Google Search Console
To the Moz Community, Should we be considering the information that Google Search Console is telling us? It is showing a dramatic drop in our SEO and our pages are not being indexed, however it is showing differently in our Moz Analytics section. Any clarification will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Dawn

Search and Replace filter on Google Analytics?
Hello! On our GA account for one of our clients, we'd like to add a search and replace filter to the Views section of the account. The URL is www.askergoworks.com (it redirects to askergoworks.com), and Google has flagged us to have redundant hostnames. This is why we'd like to add the filter. Would the regular expression be askergoworks.com|www.askergoworks.com ? Any help would be great - I'm not a regex expert, so I really don't how to go about this. Thanks!

Google Analytics Organic Accuracy?
Hi, On a cool summers day, I was quenching my thirst for SEO Knowledge in the depths of Google analytics, When I stumbled upon a most troublesome sight. I was Browsing the data inside Acquisition->Keywords->Organic and comparing them to Acquisition->Search Engine Optimization->Landing Pages, to find the results quite questionable.. Since Keywords->Organic measure the visits from the organic results, and Search Engine Optimization->Landing Pages measures the clicks onto one of my landing pages from Google, I assumed they should be the same or very close, (besides Keywords->Organic having visits from other search engines) but they were not the same, as a matter of fact it was telling me that Keywords->Organic visits = 1,474, 27.19% of total(5,422) and Search Engine Optimization->Landing Pages, clicks = 1,548 154.80% of total (1000). Even worst the Search Engine Optimization -> Queries clicks = 1,123, 160.43% of total(700). I have been searching, and come up empty handed in the answer so does anyone know why Google is showing me different results and strange numbers that don't make sense? Any information is greatly appreciated?

Google Custom Report Filters are a pain in the arse
Greetings from high weed pollen count Wetherby UK 🙂 Ok ive been having extreme custom reporting filter frustration with Google analytics. My objective was to set up a "custom" google analytics report that detailed: 1. Referral traffic from external sights in one reporting tab
Reporting & Analytics | | Nightwing
2. Visitor generic traffic report including direct, search & referral traffic e.g: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/reporting-tabscopy.jpg But Ive hit the provebial buffers 😞 Initailly i added an advanced filter as shown here: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/custom-reporting-with-filtercopy.jpg but the advanced filters do not stick / save. As soon as you exit the custom report the advanced filter is cleared as shown here: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/custom-reporting-filter-removedcopy.jpg I then added a filter under a specific custom tab but the filter cascades into all the reporting tabs see below: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/custom-reporting-cascading-filterscopy.jpg So my question is please... "How do can you set up filters that effect the data in one reporting tab and does not cascade into the others" Any insights welcome 🙂0 -
Why is a section of our website dropping in&out of Google SERPs?
In July 2011 we started a news section that has it's own 'subfolder' /news/ (http://www.chorder.com/news/new_gear/, http://www.chorder.com/news/gear_deals/ etc.) The whole news section is dropping in&out of Google SERP's since late October, as show in attached graph. All news texts are real deal, written by our own staff, linked from homepage. Any idea why this happens and how to prevent it? cmqky.png
