Google Search Console (new GWT) - Does a language specific sub folder need its own GSC profile
-
HI
I've got a clients site set which targets 3 language/countries:
English via the main site on the domain.com
Turkish via a Turkish language site on a subfolder domain.com/tr/
And German via domain.de
The devs have set up .com and .de in GSC and is reporting data in both
However there's no data in the domain/com/tr GSC profile ! Is that because its on a subfolder so data pertaining to it is being reported in the main domain.com GSC account ? Or does something more need to be done to set up the Turkish subfolder in GSC ? If so what ?
All Best

Hey Gianluca
Thanks so much for commenting again (this isn't the first time you have helped me out
) !!
Any ideas how i find out what else i need to do so the GSC populates with data ? There is a profile set up in GSC for all the language versions, its just the Turkish version (the only language version in a sub-folder) is not being populated with any data so must be something missing in the set up maybe/not properly completed, such as something required for properly finish the set up/integration of a sub-folders on GSC so that it shows data.
UPDATE - I have just seen that the GSC Turkish a/c im looking at is for a www version so if the Turkish language sub sites actually non www that will explain why im not seeing any data i presume ?
Re HTTP/s - The site was originally non secure so there is an older http profile for the main site/domain. Re www and non www - Weirdly the Turkish version is not www but the others are all on www. This was due to some reason the devs couldn't avoid (to do with domain mapping since on WP multisite the way it works forces it to have to be on the non-www. site as that is not used for anything else, apparently). BUT all site maps and canonicals were amended to HTTPS and all indexed pages and rankings are for pages that are the correct https and (www or non www) versions and has been like this since March when it was all set up, so presume shouldn't have to do more here in the various GSC accounts if that's the case ?
Many Thanks
Dan

Thanks Oleg !
Yes 'links to site' is of value to me (although i do have other link tools to see this info i like to see what Google is perceiving). But ideally as much of the rest of GSC data too, such as indexed pages etc etc

Any idea as to how i fix or find out how to fix ?

Yes, because if not you cannot geotarget the subfolders.
Rememover also to create the profile also for not www., and if you have also https, you must create also others 2 search console profiles for https://www.domain.com/es/ and https://domain.com/es/.
These are needed for telling Google your preferred domain version for indexing.

When did you set up the /folder/ property? I've used this to get more detailed backlink reports (as the "links to site report" is different when you enter a subfolder). What data are you looking to get?

How is Google Analytics defining page depth?
We run two websites and as part of our KPIs we are treating those who visit 3 or more pages of our website as a client served. As a digital team we are not convinced that this is the best metric to use as the improvements we are making to the sites mean that people are able to find the information quicker. Additionally other organisations including forums etc link to us so those users will get the info they need in one click. What I would like to know is how Google calculates page depth in GA. Are they treating the landing page as ground zero and then when users clicks a link they go one page deep? Or is the landing page, page depth 1 . Is page depth a measure of how many clicks a user needs to find their information?

Google Making all searches secure - "Not provided" data to increase in Analytics
A lot of you might already be aware of the recent Google change at encrypting all search activity except for clicks on ads. Rand did a whiteboard session on this recently. How is everyone planning to adjust their research data to accommodate for this change?

Why are plus signs (+) suddenly showing up in Google Analytics organic search keywords reports?
Since June 13, 2013, the number of organic search queries containing a plus sign (+) has gone up over 1,000% compared to the previous period on my site in Google Analytics. These plus signs appear to be taking the place of spaces in these search queries (i.e. "word1+word2+word3"). This appears to be almost (or completely) Google organic traffic, not other search engines. Since I highly doubt searcher behavior would change so suddenly, I'm trying to figure out why Google is replacing spaces with plus signs. Is anyone else seeing this? Any ideas?

How To Determine ROI For Specific Keywords
I have been looking through our analytics, and nealy all our conversions are from (not provided) keywords. I am trying to find the keywords that are performing best and also to determine the return I am getting from SEO efforts. I have been told the "not provided" keywords are due to people being logged into Google when they browse. However, this doesn't make sense to me. How is it that only the keywords that convert are "not provided"? Can anyone help with this?

How to create an advanced segmentation for Google+?
Hey Mozzers, I have a question regarding Google Analytics. The problem: I have created advanced segments for Social Media: Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc. They all work fine... Now I am trying to create something similar for Google+ (since soon we are launching a campaign for it and I want to be able to check the evolution fast and effective). My advanced segments look like: Include -> Source -> Matching RegExp -> (Facebook|Youtube|Twitter) How should the Google+ be inserted into the group? I know this question might be easy for some advanced Analytics users but I am stuck at this point. Any help appreciated! Thanks in advance! Istvan

Standard % of nonbranded organic search traffic?
I am working on developing goals for 2012. I will be doing several SEO projects, including one on a website for study abroad programs. Currently, nonbranded organic search is 15.49% of our visits and in 2010, it was 15.02%. I am wondering if anyone has any advice or knows of a benchmark percentage that could help me set an attainable goal. Thank you!!
