Setting up I.P Filter Google Analytics - I.p ending with 0/24
-
Hi everyone,
Your help would be much appreciated for the following:
I am trying to setup I.P filters for our Google Analytic account to exclude internal traffic.
We are located in multiple locations and each location have multiple I.p addresses.
The I.P addresses we have end either by 0/24 which apparently means they provide a range from 0 to 255 and or 128/25.
I have tried to setup the I.P addresses in different formats on the GA filter but they are apparently are not valid:
example of one setup I tried:
1**.\2**.\8*.([0-256])
I have gone through the Filter setup guide from Google but I must be doing something wrong- probably to do on how I setup the I.P's ending with 0/24 and 128/25
If anyone could help me on how I can set up the I.P filters Google analytic would be great.
The I.P addresses look like the following (changed digits):
Location 1:
174.177.179.0/25
174.177.179.128/25
Location 2:
196.222.87.0/24
194.59.197.0/24Thanks you so much for your help,
L.

Here's how I do it. I use a custom filter and filter IPs by range
PART ONE - Generate RegEx for IP Range
- Go to this RegEx range tool: http://www.analyticsmarket.com/freetools/ipregex
- Enter your IP address in "First IP, but change the "D block" to your start range
- Enter your IP address into "Last IP", but change the "D block" to your end range
- Click generate, and here's what you get for your first location: ^174.177.179.([0-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-5])$
PART TWO - Create The Filter
- Go to create a new filter in Analytics
- Give it a name
- Select Custom
- For field choose "IP Address"
- Paste your RegEx in "Filter Pattern
- Save
-
Are you getting errors?
If you just dont see any difference, that will be because filters dont apply retrospectivly to data. They will only work for new data after the filter is added. So it might take some time before you see the changes.

International SEO question domain.com vs domain.com/us/ , domain.com/uk etc.
Hi Mozzers, I am expanding a website internationally. I own the .com for the domain. I need to accommodate multiple countries and I'm not sure if I should build a folder for /us/ for United States or just have the root domain .com OPTION 1:
International SEO | | jeremycabral
domain.com/page-url -- United States
domain.com/de/page-url -- Denmark
domain.com/jp/page-url -- Japan OPTION 2:
domain.com/us/page-url -- United States
domain.com/de/page-url -- Denmark
domain.com/jp/page-url -- Japan My concern with option 2 is there will be some dilution and we wouldn't get the full benefit of inbound links compared to Option 1 as we would have geo ip redirection in place to redirect users etc. to the relative sub-folder. Which option is better from an SEO perspective? Cheers, Jeremy0 -

Google search cache points to and uses content from different url
We have two sites, 1 in new zealand: ecostore.co.nz and 1 in Australia: ecostoreaustralia.com.au Both sites have been assigned with the correct country in Webmaster tools Both site use the same urls structure and content for product and category pages Both sites run off the same server in the US but have unique ip adresses. When I go to google.com.au and search for: site:ecostoreaustralia.com.au I get results which google says are from the Australian domain yet on closer inspection it is actually drawing content from the NZ website. When I view a cached page the URL bar displays the AU domain name but on the page (in the top grey box) it says: _This is Google's cache of http://www.ecostore.co.nz/pages/our-highlights. _ Here is the link to this page: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Zg_CYkqyjP4J:www.ecostoreaustralia.com.au/pages/our-highlights+&cd=7&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au In the last four weeks the ranking of the AU website has dropped significantly and the NZ site now ranks first in Google AU, where before the AU site was listed first. Any idea what is going wrong here?

Google UK picking up USA Site
I have a site with two subfolders one is .../uk and one is .../us Part of the content on the two sites is the same and part is unique. The US site's language is set to en and the UK site's language is set to en_gb. I have setup geo-targeting in webmaster tools. The problem is that the home page is a GEO-IP redirect and it seems to be picking up information from the US site even on google uk. I'm not concerned too much about getting the uk site crawled as we submit a sitemap for that anyway. But my concern is that if I setup the geo-ip redirect as a 301 will my UK site loose all of it's ranking? Also am I likely to be penalised for duplicate content?
