Welcome to the Q&A Forum

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 
194.59.197.0/24

Thanks you so much for your help,

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your time.

During the past 8 months I have been working on this website which is a .com.au . I have fully optimised the website which is targeting Brisbane in Australia and I have setup everything (Sitemaps, Geo location on WMT, Fetched as Google etc..) However the website just does not want to rank at all.

I know that the previous SEO company were not too good but since then I have disavowed all unnatural links, we have moved the hosting to a new company and the website content has been updated.

Only recently the Website has started ranking for it's brand name (not even in top of Google) and whenever a keyword starts ranking above the Top 50 of Google it suddenly drops again.

The other issues is that even if I have setup the website to target Australia the majority of traffic comes from the U.S.

Last month out of the 127 Session - 85 from United States - 29 from Australia - 3 Brazil - 2 India - 2 Italy - 1 Canada etc...

Because of this the website has a Bounce rate of 95%.

If you would have any advice, tips or recommendations that I could do to try and fix this it would be much appreciated.

I suppose we can consider this as some kind of penalisation - potentially due to the past work and issues that occurred before the business became our client but I am not sure what more I can do to stop the wrong traffic and improve the rankings.

Thanks for your help.
