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.

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,

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?

Google Analytics Content Experiments - Experiment Conversions and Goal Figures Don't Match
Hi, I set up a new content experiment 6 days ago, the experiment says there have been 2 conversions but the goal associated with it says 5. The experiment is set to target 100% of traffic, distributed evenly among the variations, the goal is a destination URL goal. I've doubled checked the goal set up and everything seems fine. How can the content experiment report a different figure to the goal associated with it? Has anyone else noticed the same problem? Is this a bug? Is there a workaround available? Or is there a setting I need to be aware of when creating content experiments to prevent this from happening? I need to know I can trust the results the content experiments provide.

404 errors on page urls that don't even exist
I am getting a lot of errors on pages with urls that aren't even legit. Like for example: /videos/support/index.asp No such path even exists like this on the site. I have a /videos and /support off root but no place on the site is there any reference or file at location /videos/support/index.asp so I get a lot of 404 duplicate page errors. This is just one example of several. How do I stop this?

Any updates regarding 'not provided' organic keyword referrals in Google Analytics?
I know that the encrypted searches done by people logged into their Google accounts is causing the error, is there any workaround or any update from Google as to IF they will give us our keyword data back? I'm currently losing data on about 20% of my daily searches . . .

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?
