      I migrated a website from a .aspx to a .php and hence had to 301 all the old urls to the new php ones. It's been months after and I'm not seeing any of the php pages showing results but I'm still getting results from the old .aspx pages.

      Has any one had any experience with this issue or knows what to do?

      Many thanks,

        Hi there

        I would make sure you take a look through this migration guide from Moz as it has steps to ensure your site is properly migrated.

        From there, I would check the following:
        Sitemap
        Internal Links
        Canonical Tags Change of Address Tool (if necessary)

        The first three links above could potentially be utilizing old URL structures, so you want to make sure that you change those and they are up to date. The last is for if you changed your domain at all.

        Your analytics tag should not be the reason that your new URLs are not appearing in search.

        After these steps, I would then go through a backlink audit and make sure that you update any quality backlinks or listings and remove and/or disavow any links that you find to be spammy or irrelevant to your website.

        Hope this helps! Good luck!

          No, as long as not deleting analytics account when you upgrade it is ok, just a code update. That said I am a cautious chap so I would peel out some important data on the off chance... but spend little time on it, just for safety.

            Hi John,

            Thanks for the answer. Just a quick one, will this lose the previous records?

            Cheers

              It seems you are using the old gs.js page tracking on the site. Looking at cogri
              Maybe replace the tracking code with the new Analytics.js?

              Anayltics.js has some new tracking features compared to the old ga.js and might be the reason why you aren't able to see data & statistics.

              Available here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/upgrade/reference/gajs-analyticsjs

              It can take a couple of days for GA to update... as well.

                Hi John,

                Thank you for getting in touch. I had analytics set up before the migration and I have kept the same tracking code for the new site. I figured that it would be ok as the domain and URL's are exactly the same apart from the fact that the old ones had .aspx on the end.

                  Have you set up Analytics on the new site? Just need a bit more info on how you set it up.

                    Whatstuffwherebot user agent messing up Google Analytics

                    Starting yesterday, Aug 26, 2020, I noticed a new bot crawling our site with user agent whatstuffwherebot. Google Analytics is counting these hits as human traffic, completely throwing off my numbers - yesterday, Analytics reported nearly triple my typical number of visitors. As of now, Search Console only shows data through Aug 25 so I don't know if Search Console is also affected. Is anybody else seeing something similar? Does anybody know what the whatstuffwherebot bot is? I don't get any results when I search on Google or Bing. For what it's worth, the traffic is coming from Columbus, OH, running over Amazon AWS via 278 different IP addresses so far. Also, WordFence (my WordPress security plugin) correctly identifies these hits as bot traffic.

                    Attribution of conversions to payment gateway in Google Analytics

                    Hi all, We have been having a problem for a while now where most transactions are attributed to referrals from our payment gateway Sagepay. The issue started a couple of months ago, when we finally upgraded our website to https:// for logged in users and transactions. Before, when we were using http://, transactions were attributed to the correct channel. Even weirder, we upgraded 4 websites and only 2 of them have the issue now, the other two continue to attribute transactions correctly. I added Sagepay to the referral exclusion list which made no difference. Over the weekend, we upgraded to the global site tag and it seems to have improved somewhat, but yesterday 50% of transactions were still attributed to referral/sagepay. I am also seeing an odd issue, where for half of the transactions, the revenue and transaction are attributed to one channel, but the products (quantity) are attributed to another. One of the channels is always referral/sagepay and the other is the channel that the transaction should be attributed to. Has anyone seen this issue before? I'd appreciate any tips that might help us fix this issue. Thanks in advance!

                    Google Analytics Organic Search Keywords Suddenly Displaying FulL Urls

                    In my Google Analytics, the top keywords for Organic Search are suddenyl displaying full URLs. For example, now the third and fourth keywords are http://www.domain.com/highly-specific-URL. These have all started recently around the same day, July 12th. I've checked back, and we've made no internal changes to the site around that time that could affect this. Any thoughts on this? Thanks! P.S. It might be related to rich snippets, but I cannot tell at this point.

                    How do I manually add transactions to Google Analytics

                    We are seeing Google Analytic's drop transaction on our site so therefore all the figures are skewed. Is there a way I can manually add transactions to GA to cover the missing one?

                    Setting Up Google Analytic with Sub Folder Sites

                    What is the best way of setting up Google Analytic for a website that has many sub folders? The main site is example.com and it has 40 sub folder sites like example.com/uk example.com/France etc etc Would it be advised to track a single domain in Google Analytic then create filters for the sub folder sites. Filters > Include traffic from > Sub directories Also with this method is it possible to view overall incoming website stats for everything? Previous experience would be great with this thanks 🙂

                    Is there a way to use Google Analytics event tracking for YouTube embedded videos on my website?

                    Hello! I am trying to track different types of interaction on the YouTube for videos which are embedded on a website to measure the interaction on these video from my organic traffic.  Is there a good way to go about this with the code since these are coming from an iFrame on YouTube?  Would appreciate any feedback or help on implementing the event tracking with YouTube videos. Many thanks!

                    Setting up Google Analytics default URL

                    If someone has set: the default url in Google Analytics to a non-www address (http://mysite.com) then placed the UA tracking script from that GA account within the CMS framework of the website... ... and then set the permanent 301 redirect in the htaccess file to redirect to the www address (http://www.mysite.com). How less accurrate will my GA analytics measurements be considering the default url within GA is non-www and the permanent 301 redirect in htacess is to the www-address? Anyone know how reliable GA reports are until the default url in GA analytics is changed to match what is the redirected url in htaccess file? _Cindy
