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.

Impressions skyrocketed 10x in few days on just one keyword and I don't understand why.
Hi everyone, I found this 'anomaly' in my google search console data. As you can see from the picture the impressions skyrocketed in a few days and then sort-of plateaued. The clicks remained almost the same because the keyword is highly informational (Wikipedia takes all the traffic). The keyword has around 650 000 searches per month. Btw. We are not doing off-site SEO. I would like to hear your opinion on what could have caused this. A Google update maybe? 5lERKef

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

Why doesn't Google seem to care about referral spam?
In researching the issue of referral spam, there is no shortage if info, both on MOZ and beyond. But, neither the Google Analytics Blog or Help Forums seem to mention the issue at all. I'd think it is something that they would want to get rid of, yet it seems like they don't even acknowledge that it exists. Anyone have insights into this? Am I missing something, or is Google strangely silent on an issue that is becoming more and more annoying for anyone trying to use GA data?

What's the problem with this code for Google Analytics
Hello, I'm using this code in my thank you page to track ecommerce sales in GA.

Any ideas of what could be the issue looking at this code? Maybe there could be other code could be causing the problem? Thanks a lot.

Will Bing/Google's engine index a page that has only been on social media?
Will Bing's engine index and rank a page that has only been seen on social media and has no inbound links? Will Google's? Are inbound links absolutely required to get a page indexed and ranking and getting traffic? If unknown, how would you go about testing this?
