Oh Japanese Character and 404 issue
-
This one has me stumped, so I really hope someone can help.
I am assisting a company who are having 404 errors on certain japanese pages of their site.
I have checked in web master tools and analytics, can see the 404, but have no idea where it is coming from. I am starting to think it may be a encoding issue of some sort. Just wondered if anyone has come across this before?
Site uses site finity.
What is happening is reader is going to page domain.com/ja/blog/article
then coming to this page /404?aspxerrorpath=/Sitefinity/WebsiteTemplates/App_themes/"website"/fonts/open sans regular
Really odd - as we cannot re-create this 404 I don't know how they are getting to it?
Also in Analytics some of the pages that are written in japanese that are giving 404's look like this
C3%A3%E2%80%9A%C2%BD%C3%A3%C6%92%C2%AA%C3%A3%C6%92%C2%A5%C3%A3%C6%92%C2%BC%C3%A3%E2%80%9A%C2%B7%C3%A3%C6%92%C2%A7%C3%A3%C6%92%C2%B394.8%C3%A3%C2%81%C2%AE%C3%A5%C2%AF%C2%BE%C3%A8%C2%B1%C2%A1/%C3%A9%C2%A1%C2%A7%C3%A5%C2%AE%C2%A2%C3%A3%E2%80%9A%C2%B0%C3%A3%C6%92%C2%AB%C3%A3%C6%92%C2%BC%C3%A3%C6%92%E2%80%94%C3%A6%C2%AF%C5%BD%C3%A3%C2%81%C2%AE94.8
Any help much appreciated

Just thinking about this, it might be worth looking at the page encoding as it could be a lack or UTF-8 declaration.
Do you have the full URL with that code in it?
...this one is definitely making me grey!
I feel your pain there

Thank you Andy!
We are seeing the C3%A3%E2%80%9A%C2%BD%C3%A3%C6%92%C2%AA%C3%A3%C6%92%C2%A5%C3%A3%C6%92%C2%BC%C3%A3%E2%80%9A%C2%B7%C3%A3%C6%92%C2%A7%C3%A3%C6%92%C2%B394.8%C3%A3%C2%81%C2%AE%C3%A5%C2%AF%C2%BE%C3%A8%C2%B1%C2%A1/%C3%A9%C2%A1%C2%A7%C3%A5%C2%AE%C2%A2%C3%A3%E2%80%9A%C2%B0%C3%A3%C6%92%C2%AB%C3%A3%C6%92%C2%BC%C3%A3%C6%92%E2%80%94%C3%A6%C2%AF%C5%BD%C3%A3%C2%81%C2%AE94.8 in analytics,
But as for this random link - this is where users appear to be going to, however I cannot re-create it.
Will try to find out some more information this one is definitely making me grey!

Hi Kelly,
**What is happening is reader is going to page domain.com/ja/blog/article **then coming to this page /404?aspxerrorpath=/Sitefinity/WebsiteTemplates/App_themes/"website"/fonts/open sans regular
So is the page redirecting to the 404 or is the article link just automatically taking you there? Or is it just that you are seeing these 404's in Analytics?
It sounds like it might be a URL configuration issue - I am not familiar with Finity though. Is there any translation service within the site that could cause it to write a page in Japanese incorrectly?

Google Analytics reporting traffic for 404 pages
Hi guys, Unique issue with google analytics reporting for one of our sites. GA is reporting sessions for 404 pages (landing pages, organic traffic) e.g. for this page: http://www.milkandlove.com.au/breastfeeding-dresses/index.php the page is currently a 404 page but GA (see screenshot) is reporting organic traffic (to the landing page). Does anyone know any reasons why this is happening? Cheers. http://www.milkandlove.com.au/breastfeeding-dresses/index.php GK0zDzj.jpg

Referral issue in Google analytics
We have an eCommerce website that counts paypal as a referral source in Analytics. The site takes people to Paypal to make a payment and then back to the website to a Thank You page once that payment has been made. Due to this, Analytics sees this as a conversion that has come from Paypal, and also records it as a referral source, when we know this is not really the case. This also distorts the data in analytics and prohibits us from clearly seeing which channels sales have come from. Is there anyway in Analytics to include Paypal as a part of the website so that it does not record Paypal as a separate referral website?

However, these errors are not for normal pages, they are things like http://www.cooke.co.uk/?post_type=crown_enquiry&p=1045 I have used the redirection tool in WordPress to redirect all these links to the homepage but does anyone know why this is happening since it is the second time I had to do it. Thanks.

Having issues with pivot tables in GA
For the past three days, I've been trying to use pivot tables on a couple of reports, most importantly I'm trying to use a pivot table on the All Pages report. I'd like to pull it for a year so I can see what our traffic sources are for top pages. I keep getting an error in Google Analytics that says, "Resource is Not Available. Please Try Again Later." See attached image. I've condensed my date range to a month, just in case a year's data was too much and I still get the error. I'm unable to use pivot tables in ANY report, without getting this message. Is anyone else having issues?EgZ25

Google Analytics Goal Funnel Visualization Issue
I've setup a goal funnel but am having an issue when I look at the funnel visualization. It doesn't appear to be recognizing the 1st step of the funnel that I've defined in the goal edit page. The "Property Listing page view" is located at /listings/xxx where xxx is the number of the property. Within the funnel, I've added /listings/*, but when I go to see the funnel visualization, I see 0 counts for this step (even though it clearly shows on the entrance page to the left "/listings/622, etc". I've attached a .pdf with a few images to help make this clearer. Any thoughts? CRD-Funnel.pdf
