Help with GA Filters - IP Addresses
-
I'm having a hard time filtering out both of the IP addresses at our office. One is easy with regular expressions, but the other one does not seem to be working.
Here are the two IP addresses:
2606:a000:4e2b:d500:61d9:9d4e:c539:ea86
174.99.90.148I set up these two custom filters and neither worked for the longer IP address.
2606:a000:4e2b:d500:61d9:9d4e:c539:ea86|174.99.90.148
2606:a000:4e2b:d500:61d9:9d4e:c539:ea86|174.99.90.148Would you please help steer me in the right direction? Thanks as always MOZ friends!

Figured it out fully! This is how I needed to write the filter to have both in a regular expression:
174.99.90.148|^2606:a000:4e2b:d500
Thanks again everyone for steering me in the right direction!
-
Not sure why, but it looks like we just have to have separate filters for ipv6 versus ipv4s... works that way, but not combined for whatever reason.
Thanks for the help everyone!

I would agree with Dmitrii again on this one. For ipv6 there shouldn't be a need for regex as there are no '.' characters and ':' does not cause a regex function. You might want to consider simply segmenting the ipv4 and ipv6 as two different filters? I know this defeats your purpose of using one filter to catch them all but the problem you are facing may be caused by trying to group ipv6 and ipv4 in the same filter.
Try doing them separately and let us know if that solves the issue of correctly filtering the ipv6 traffic while using the pipes to join multiple ipv6 in one filter.
-
If you are creating filter just for one IPv6, why to you use regular expression at all? Just input it as it is.
-
I'm no longer getting the error, but for whatever reason putting them together is not filtering them out. What it looks like I need to do is create a custom filter and determine how to put the ipv6 in as a regular expression, which I do not understand how to do. Do you know?
-
The solution Dmitrii proposed has also worked for me with no invalid IP address error.
Can you confirm that this is still not working for you and provide a screenshot if possible?
-
It worked for me. I just checked. Are you doing it in custom, rather than predefined?
-
When I put that in it tells me that it's an invalid IP address...
-
It should be
2606:a000:4e2b:d500:61d9:9d4e:c539:ea86|174.99.90.148 -
It does work when I set up a predefined filter blocking IP, but only for that one ipv6 - when trying to add both it isn't working and I'm hoping to only have one filter that blocks multiple IPs... thoughts?
-
Again, is it working if you create a filter just for ipv6?
-
Basically, what I'm trying to do is build the functionality to have all of my IP addresses, both IPv4 and IPv6 in one GA filter. I selected a custom filter to exclude IP addresses that are equal to the below expression, but it's not working for the IPv6. Can someone tell me what's wrong with this setup?
174.99.90.148|2606:a000:4e2b:d500:8519:4fcb:8bf0:78d7
I'm pretty sure the regular expression is incorrect for the IPv6, but I don't know how to do it and cannot figure it out through research.
Thanks as always MOZ friends!
-
Well, try ipv6 by itself first. Make sure it's working, eliminate the variables, you know. If it works by itself, then you can start digging into regular expressions (even though it should be simple ipv6|ipv4 without escapes). Who knows - maybe fault is not in regular expressions, but address is wrong or something.
-
I'd like to put all of these IP addresses in one filter instead of several, which requires a regular expression. These IPs are ours, but I also want to add different partners' IP addresses on their sites. We work with about 50 different websites and I'm hoping to have this as just one of the filters. The regular expression works for the non-IPv6 (thanks!) IP, but the IPv6 one is not filtering.
Make sense? Thanks again for the help!
-
IPv6 is that long IP address.
Simply go to filters in GA, find predefined filter, choose exclude, choose "traffic from IP addresses" and paste your IP, which is 2606:a000:4e2b:d500:61d9:9d4e:c539:ea86.
-
Pardon the lack of knowing, but what is ipv6? How does that filter look in the GA filter? Thanks!
-
Hi there.
You should be able to exclude both IPs without any escaping. What I'd recommend is to create a filter just for ipv6 and see if exclusion works. Let me know if that works.

Filter Tracking works fine at staging site but not on LIVE site why?
Hello Expert, For my ecommerce site I want to track filter url's like price range, size, width, color etc and fully filter url should display in google analytic.

Do you guys think any parameter which i have configured in search console affect this? Note - I have configured in this way -Â http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/93008/how-to-track-a-product-filter-in-the-product-list-view-with-google-analytics My filter url's are given below. And in search console I have configure two parameters. 1) effect - Sort, Crawl - No urls 2) FT - effect- ( - ) , crawl - Let google bot decide. But as per me this parameter is for crawling should not affect tracking right? mysite.com?FP=0&filtSeq=Price&Sort=BS

Community Discussion - Do you think increasing word count helps content rank better?
In the online marketing community, there is a widespread belief that long-form content ranks better. In today's YouMoz post, Ryan Purthill shares how his research indicated 1,125 to be a magic number of sorts: The closer a post got to this word count, the better it ranked. Diminishing returns, however, were seen once a post exceeded 1,125 words. Does this jibe with your own data and experiences? Do you think increasing word count helps content rank better in general? What about for specific industries and types of content? Let's discuss!

Does a Manual Penalty Affect Other Sites in Same GA Account
Hello Mozzers, I was a bit foolish a couple of years back when first getting into the game, and employed a dodgy agency to do some SEO for me on some sites. Fast forward to this year, and the two sites in my Google Analytics account have been hit with a manual penalty. Â I decided to ditch the websites and move on, so removed them from my GA account, webmaster tools etc and will simply let them die a death. My question is, do you think this would affect how easy it would be to rank other websites within my GA account? Â Does anybody have any views on this? Thanks!

Google Search Bar Vs Address Bar To Determine Number Of Times the Domain Name Is Typed In..
Hello, I'm trying to get a rough estimate of how many times a domain name that we're interested in acquiring is typed in to the address bar. If the google keyword tool says for instance, that the exact match domain name is typed in 720 times, how many times it typed in to the address bar? example.com - 720 global searches Thanks!

Ga event tracking and GAC code placement
Just relaunched website and since then specific event tracking has zeroed. I copied event tracking directly from old site so it should work. Overall analytics are fine. Only variable I can think of is where google analytics code is placed. Does GAC code need to be on HTML header or at end of body specifically for event tracking to work? Example: Steripen.com/freedom/... When user clicks "REI" icon, this tracks an event that a user clicked on one of our"retailer links." Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

An initial set up question - linking to GA
when viewing campaign it indicates there is a problem linking to our GA account but the details entered are correct. Any ideas what the problem might be - nothing on the campaign settings page gives me a clue. There is a highlighted box saying disconnect from GA but nothing else. The only thing i can think of is that the GA account was set up by a third party and we have access to view it - could it be a permissions problem?
