222.mydomain.com... I'm stumped....
-
Hi,
I'm stumped by this one and am hoping I can get some advice/guidance. I've seen this pop up in my stats where the www.mydomain.com/page is appearing as 222.mydomain.com/page.
I have no clue what's going on...
This google return displays the same page 2 ways (see first image).
And when I click on the 222. link I get a prompt (see 2nd image).
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks!
Peter

Ah, I'm happy to report a resolution to the issue... so it turns out that it came down to the fact that the dns wildcard setting was turned on. Disabling it resolved the mystery.
Thanks for your help!

Ryan,
I just noted the IP # as well and pinged my hosting company to see if something odd occurred on their end.
I'll check the htacess file next.
Thanks for the terrific advice. I really appreciate your help!

Well, let me put on my detective hat. Here is what we know:
-
the page exists. I can navigate to 222.admissionsquest.com.
-
the page has the same IP address as your www. page, so the are hosted on the same web server.
-
the pages appear to be identical. I didn't do a 100% analysis here, but the pages appear to be the same, and they both have exactly 356 links on them.
The next step is checking your htaccess file and looking for any reference to this site. I would also such doing a search on your web server for "222".

Ryan, thanks for the tip. I checked and couldn't find a "222" folder in the root directory. Any other ideas?

Check your web server. It looks like you have a "222" folder located in your root directory. That would cause exactly this behavior. This would be the most likely cause.

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

How do sites without access to a site's analytical data, determine a site's organic traffic?
I've recently used a organic traffic checker that showed you your traffic compared to each google algo update. I was interested in how they derived the organic traffic totals for each month, without having access to our site's google analytics? I've since compared the data to historical google analytics data and it's not wrong, isn't 100% match either but isn't far from fact. So if they're predicting or making a guess, it's rather spot on, site crawlers and SERPs snapshots only provide so much info, I'm just wondering where they get the rest from and how?

Rising in Bing and Yahoo SERP's, but falling in Googles?
We've dropped rankings across the board in Google, not severely but 1 and 2 spot drops and yet increased in rankings in Bing and Yahoo on the same keywords (basically all of them). Is this the sign of a new bad incoming link?

Tracking an onpage 'event'
Hi all Wondering if anyone could help out with this one please. My client is a government backed free internet safety website and in the next few days they will be launching an update on all of their pages which will let people know if their browser is out of date. For example, when you go to their site you will get a message advising you to upgrade your browser for security reasons. They have employed the following code to check the browser The client are keen to know how many times in a period this message is shown to users. Any idea how one would go about tracking this please. Would it involve some custom GA work, would I be able to track the hits on https://wxxxx.org/javascript/update.js in GA? I'm a little stumped. Obviously I can tell how many people loaded the page but not sure how to work out what % of them see the javascript Many thanks for your help Carl

'Search Queries Report' in Webmaster Tools Question
Hi, How much do you use the search queries report in webmaster tools to research current rankings/movements? It does look like a great tool but the data doesn't seem to be spot on. For example a keyword over a week might have flux in position so lets say 6.0 then 9.2 for 3 days then back to 6.0. But I check the serp's for this keyword everyday and didn't see any movement?!?! Is this a good tool for you?

What impact will Google's 10/18/2011 announcement of 'Making Search More Secure' have on the ability to track specific keyword queries via Analytics?
The full announcement is here: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/making-search-more-secure.html My concern is that the ability for Google Analytics to parse information on specific keyword queries will be diminished. The article hints that Google Webmaster Tools will be exempt from the problem, and I've never relied on Webmaster tools as a go-to for tying specific keyword queries to Goal Tracking (form submissions and sales). The community's thoughts on this one are appreciated. 🙂
