Welcome to the Q&A Forum

If a user is on a mobile device and comes to our home page, http://www.darden.virginia.edu/web/Home/ they are redirected to http://m.darden.virginia.edu/web/Home/.  We want a way to remove all the redirects from our Google analytics reports.  More specifically we do not want to include the the page view of http://www.darden.virginia.edu/web/Home/ in our page view count when the user is on a mobile device.  How do we do that?

How do I find out from Google webmaster toolkit all the pages google has indexed of our site?

How should I go about fixing this?  See image.

Our new alumni application is going be tested at domain uva.imodules.com .  We are going to collect traffic data with a Google analytics account number UA-884652-XX. So going to uva.imodules.com/myPage.html would send its data to Google Analytics with that account number.     Then when it is ready for production we are going to just change the domain name of the application and switch the DNS over to dardencommunity.darden.virginia.edu .  So going to dardencommunity.darden.virginia.edu /myPage.html would send its data to  Google Analtics with that SAME account number.  Aside from having the testing domain data in the same profile are there any other issues/problems we may run into?

John and Team,

Suppose I have a site with 8000 pages and a small percentage of them in google analytics are showing up twice because the pages are linked through upper and lowercase links.  So in Google analytics (GA) there would be two rows:

http:///www.blah.com/MBA

http://www.blah.com/mba

Is there a type of query I can run in GA to allow me to find all pages where the url is the same except for the upper and lower casing?  I want to go into GA at Standard Reporting -> Content -> all pages and do an advanced search.

Why would I not just do this?

Problem

I queried back a year for the portal and we can see below that the SEO juice is split between the upper and lowercase. You can see the issue in the attached images.

Solutions:

1)      Quick: Change the link on the pages above to be lowercase

2)      Use canonical link tag http://www.seomoz.org/blog/canonical-url-tag-the-most-important-advancement-in-seo-practices-since-sitemaps

The tag is part of the HTML header on a web page, the same section you'd find the Title attribute and Meta Description tag. In fact, this tag isn't new, but like nofollow, simply uses a new rel parameter. For example:

http://www.darden.virginia.edu/MBA" />

''This would tell Yahoo!, Live & Google that the page in question should be treated as though it were a copy of the URL http://www.darden.virginia.edu/MBA and that all of the link & content metrics the engines apply should technically flow back to that URL.''

3)      See if there is any Google Analytics filters at the site level I can apply.   I will check into this and get back to you.

What do you all think??????

Keyword research can take a lot of time.   Suppose you are not sure of what keywords you want to rank for but just want to see a list of phrases that have 500-5000 searches a day, low cost and low competition because you are looking for phrases that interest you for which it will be easier to rank close to #1 in google.   Besides AdWords Keyword Tool, are there sites that specialize in this?

We are a pro member of SEOMOZ.  I know that we have not used it to its full potential.  Now our marketing department is considering using

http://www.springmetrics.com/

I need to have a comparison and contrast of SEOMOZ vs springMetrics.  Also, can you include how google real time fits into this.

Sergei,

I have put everything in place that I think I should.  But, my results are not showing up in Google Analytics.   Do you see anything wrong with

1. The css on the "Apply Now" link at

http://www.darden.virginia.edu/web/MBA/Admissions/Home/

2. The code at http://www.darden.virginia.edu/web/js/gaq.js that is included works.

3. The code at https://darden-admissions.symplicity.com/ works.

Nothing comes up in Google Analytics content.  What am I missing?

I will give it a try and get back to you.

If I understand you correctly, I am hearing this.

Include a javascript file called replace_on_click.js   which includes

$(document).ready(function{
    $('.class_with_onclick').click(function(){
         _gaq.push(['_link', 'https://darden-admissions.symplic...']); return  false;
    })
});

Then in html

[https://darden-admissions.symplic...](<a class=)">Apply Now

Is this what you are saying?

Ben,

I have a follow up question from our previous discussion at

http://www.seomoz.org/qa/discuss/52837/google-analytics

To summarize, to implement what we need, we need to do three things:

1. add GA code to the Darden page

_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-12345-1']);_gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', '.darden.virginia.edu']);_gaq.push(['_setAllowHash', false]);_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

2. Change links on the Darden Page to look like

http://www.darden.virginia.edu/web/MBA-for-Executives/  and [https://darden-admissions.symplicity.com/applicant](<a href=)">Apply Now  and make into  [https://darden-admissions.symplicity.com/applicant](<a href=)" > onclick="_gaq.push(['_link', 'https://darden-admissions.symplicity.com/applicant']); return  false;">Apply Now

3. Have symplicity add this code.

_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-12345-1']);_gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', '.symplicity.com']);_gaq.push(['_setAllowHash', false]);_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

Due to our CMS system, it does not allow the user to add onClick to the link.  So, we CANNOT add part 2)  What will be the result if we have only 1) and 3) implemented?  Will the data still be fed to GA account 'UA-12345-1'?  If not, how can we get cross domain tracking if we cannot change the link code?
