Need REGEX help
-
Hi Mozzers,
I have multiple filters in one of the GA accounts I manage. I just created new pages that have URLs containing the keyword "spring" (location in texas) and wanted to filter out spring in the GA Spring profile(screenshot) .
My issue is it will filter all the URLs containing the kw spring and the website has multiple blog post containing the same kw (spring).
So what I need is a Regex formula so I can make sure I track only the Spring tx traffic and not the blog posts.
Thanks for letting me know how can I do that!

Hi Kristina,
Would you rather do it a different way?
Thanks

Hi Kristina
I would love to share this infor but I can't do it here. Can I get you email or so so I can send you the detailed titles.
Thanks Kristina
-
Yep, I definitely think you could! Could you send me a list of the page titles you want to target, along with some page titles that you don't? The key is to be very specific in the pattern, so it doesn't include any pages that aren't in the Spring location pages.

Hi Kristina,
the difference between them is that one is about spring cleaning and the other I would like to capture traffic is in Spring texas.
Regarding the page title, they are pretty similar but not identical. Do you think I could use that option? If yes can I include 11 page titles (since I am trying to track all the Spring Texas location pages) ? If yes how would I add this type of filter?
Thanks!

(Whoops, sorry, didn't get the notification when you first posted this)
Hm, so, it doesn't look like you're using a subdirectory here. You're using "spring" in the page. If you were using a subdirectory, it would look like this:
And so on.
Since you're using a page, though, I think that you'll need to use a custom filter (the second radio button at the top). You can choose to "Include" anything: page title, campaign, referrer, etc.
These sound like they're very similar pages, so are you using a similar page title between them? Something that would be very specific to this type of pages?
-
Hey Kristina,
Do you need more information or it enough?
Thanks!
-
Sure Kristina,
Don't want to include:
example.com/....-colorado-springs
example.com/..../spring-cleaning-....
include:
....
Thanks Kristina!

Hi Taysir,
Could you give us examples of the URLs you do and don't want to filter into this profile? You can make the domain www.mydomain.com so it remains anonymous.
Thanks!
Kristina

Hi mozzers,
the question is little tricky but if someone knows any useful resources, it would be great share those instead.
Thanks guys!

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!

Google Analytics Stopped Tracking Visits - NEED HELP!
Hi Moz Community, I have about 10 sites, static HTML sites and WordPress sites, which ALL stopped tracking Google Analytics on August 2nd. They go to a flat-line! Dead! No data! Has anyone else experienced this either currently or before? I have confirmed all code is correct as it's been tracking these sites for years. One site gets 5,000+ visits a month and they are sitting at only 1,500 now and will be a fun conversation to have with the client. If all code is correct, what should I do? How do I overcome this without having to re-create another account/tracking ID? Never dealt with something like this before and there is not much on the web or in other forums. Would appreciate any help or advice or tips! - Patrick

Help With Understanding Chrome Web Store Analytics
Hi all, our website Creately is listed in the Chrome Web Store. Its not an extension or an app, but just a link to app which users can use to quickly log into the app and start drawing their diagrams. They do provide you a way to add Google Analytics to track some visitor data like user visits. But we want to figure out from which sections of Chrome Web Store is sending us traffic. When looking at the Source/Medium reports I can see the following. chrome-ntp-icon / (not set) chrome-app-launcher / (not set) chrome-ntp-launcher / (not set) chrome-app-launcher-search / (not set) chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog / (not set) I'm guessing these indicate where we're getting the traffic to the Chrome web store page but I can't seem to find any information about what they mean. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Can you guys please take a look at my site and provide some guidance on what I can/should do to help convert these visitors to customers? my site is : http://goo.gl/JgK1e Thanks

Sessions in GA - need clarifications
Hello, Regarding recent change in how Google now defines a session... If a user visits a site from a different traffic source (say Google and Bing ) within 30 minutes, would that show 2 visits now ? Was earlier it considered 1 visit ? Also, sessions ends "at the end of the day" It can be different for different users ? How does Google defines end of the day ? for USA time ? Thanks
