IP address and GA
-
Our company is based in Noida, and in GA, i can see few visits from New Delhi. Both these cities are nearby. ( In India )
Our hosting is in US.
When a visitor comes to site, does visit is based on IP address of the user's system ?
Our company has taken hosting from Noida. Does that means that visits from New Delhi are Genuine and NOT from our company ?
My apologies, if i am not clear...

Hi Atul,
Yes it does mean that the user is from that city based on his IP address. To be sure you might want to read this help article.
To make sure you're own internal traffic from your company isn't included in you're reports you might want to consider to include a filter which excludes traffic from your own IP address ( and ).
Happy analyzing!

Thanks a lot for your reply and also for a very useful link.
If a visitor comes from a particular city, does it means that IP address of the user searching in that city is taken into account

See Googles statement on this
http://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html
Unless the person is using an IP address cloaker the IP address that they are coming from should be taken at face value.

Webmaster Tools equivalent to Change Default Address found in Analytics
Hello all! We're changing from http to https. In Google Analytics there is an option to change the default address so we keep our historical data. I can't find a similar option in Webmaster Tools though. Do you have to setup a new property or is there an option to change your current one? Thanks in advance!

How is this site being tracked in GA?
Hi, Bit of an unusual one this, so please bear with me. This site http://www.hayesandhurst.com/ is being tracked in Google Analytics but we're unsure as to how. To the best of our knowledge we haven't inserted the tracking ID into the theme options or the tracking code into the source - and yet it appears to be tracking successfully! I did send some instructions to the client to set up the Analytics account in their name - I fear they have added the code somewhere to the site, but we cannot see where! Perhaps via Google tag Manager?? As I say, an odd one this, but if anyone can shed any light on this mystery i'd be hugely grateful. The tracking ID is UA-64505394-1 for the record. Regards,

Comparing user behaviour in GA
Hi Does anyone know, can advise a process, for how to compare user behaviour (time on page, bounce rate etc) for a major site section/category page that's changed its url since a new site upgrade (so effectively 2 different pages i presume) with the old page version (say comparing U.B between the two pages and between June this year vrs June last year) in Analytics / Cheers Dan

I would like to optimize my clients blog. If I am using their GA account for their over all website but put in the sub folder for SEOMOz, will it detect that I only want to optimize the blog ex. http://xxx.com/blog or will I be seeing the GA for the entire site on SEOMOZ?
