Find out who mentioned my URL on Facebook
-
I am seeing a big spike in traffic coming from Facebook.
The referrer looks like this (at least sometimes, mostly it is just https://m.facebook.com or http://www.facebook.com/
Is there a way to know who shared my URL on facebook?
-
You can see metrics about the users who interacted with your content (count, gender, age, location, etc.), but if what you ask is seeing personal information about each specific user, I don't know, I don't think so, I guess Facebook would save that valuable data for themselves.

Thanks a lot.
I now set this up and it is showing some results.
However, can I see who shared my URL with FB Insights?
-
You could implement Facebook Insights for Domains, then you should be able to see that as well as many other metrics.
-
You may be able to find who shared the post by searching for it:
https://www.facebook.com/search/results.php?q=TITLE OF YOUR POST HERE&type=eposts
https://www.facebook.com/search/results.php?q=TITLE OF YOUR POST HERE&type=fposts
However, this will only return results if the post was public or shared by someone you were connected to (and the search sucks). Graph Search should eventually incorporate better post searching, but will still be limited by the same privacy restrictions.

Organic reports showing a URL that isn't in Search Ask Question
In the image I've attached you can see that I have pulled a source/medium > google organic report. I've also made "landing page" my secondary dimension. The first landing page that is showing up is /v3/?slug=fnl, that is this page (https://orders.freshnlean.com/v3/?slug=fnl). You can see that the page has 230 sessions from Sep 3 - 9 and 17 transactions during that same time frame. The only thing is, that landing page is nowhere to be found in the SERPs. So how is it showing up in this report as having received google organic visitors that converted if it's not even in search? 05OclDp

Question on structuring URLs in a Drupal CMS - Adverse SEO or Analytics impacts?
Hello Moz Community, We're building out a health system (think a bunch of hospitals and clinics etc.) website on Drupal for the first time. Nebraskamed.com is our domain. Because we're using nodes instead of pages, our URL structure can pretty much be whatever we think makes sense. Our proposal is to drop /blog/ and related terms from the URL structure, because it doesn't really mean anything to the user. Instead, we'd use the service line "cancer" for example, followed by the name of the blog post or document. Example: nebraskamed.com/cancer/10-bone-cancer-myths Do you see any red flags (perhaps with SEO or Analytics for example) to what I'm proposing? domain name/service line/blog-post-name If so, do you have a URL structure you advise?

Weird URL Structure in GA
Hey everyone, Thanks in advance for any insight on this. I've been researching it quite a bit on Google and haven't found anything yet. In Analytics, under our pages report, we're getting a lot of pages that look like this: www.execucar.com/https://www.execucar.com or www.execucar.com/https://www.execucar.com/locations/orlando-car-service Any thoughts on how to fix this? These pages don't exist...I'm at such a loss.

Migrated website but Google Analytics still displays old URL's and none new?!
I migrated a website from a .aspx to a .php and hence had to 301 all the old urls to the new php ones. It's been months after and I'm not seeing any of the php pages showing results but I'm still getting results from the old .aspx pages. Has any one had any experience with this issue or knows what to do? Many thanks,

URL Structure for Study Guides
I'm creating study guides for various musicals, plays and operas. A few issues: I want to easily view in Google Analytics data for all study guides, data at the category level (musical,play, opera) and data for an individual show. I want urls to be as short as possible for usability purposes. Some show titles are the same for shows in different categories. For example, there is the play Romeo and Juliet but there is also an opera Romeo and Juliet. Each study guide contains multiple sections that will live on different URLs (overview, context, plot summary, characters) What would be the ideal URL structure? Here's what I was currently thinking we should use: /show/play/romeo-juliet/ /show/play/romeo-juliet/context /show/play/romeo-juliet/plot /show/play/romeo-juliet/characters
