Setting up I.P Filter Google Analytics - I.p ending with 0/24
-
Hi everyone,
Your help would be much appreciated for the following:
I am trying to setup I.P filters for our Google Analytic account to exclude internal traffic.
We are located in multiple locations and each location have multiple I.p addresses.
The I.P addresses we have end either by 0/24 which apparently means they provide a range from 0 to 255 and or 128/25.
I have tried to setup the I.P addresses in different formats on the GA filter but they are apparently are not valid:
example of one setup I tried:
1**.\2**.\8*.([0-256])
I have gone through the Filter setup guide from Google but I must be doing something wrong- probably to do on how I setup the I.P's ending with 0/24 and 128/25
If anyone could help me on how I can set up the I.P filters Google analytic would be great.
The I.P addresses look like the following (changed digits):
Location 1:
174.177.179.0/25
174.177.179.128/25
Location 2:
196.222.87.0/24
194.59.197.0/24Thanks you so much for your help,
L.

Here's how I do it. I use a custom filter and filter IPs by range
PART ONE - Generate RegEx for IP Range
- Go to this RegEx range tool: http://www.analyticsmarket.com/freetools/ipregex
- Enter your IP address in "First IP, but change the "D block" to your start range
- Enter your IP address into "Last IP", but change the "D block" to your end range
- Click generate, and here's what you get for your first location: ^174.177.179.([0-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-5])$
PART TWO - Create The Filter
- Go to create a new filter in Analytics
- Give it a name
- Select Custom
- For field choose "IP Address"
- Paste your RegEx in "Filter Pattern
- Save
-
Are you getting errors?
If you just dont see any difference, that will be because filters dont apply retrospectivly to data. They will only work for new data after the filter is added. So it might take some time before you see the changes.

Anyone knows/seeing this strange bump in traffic from Granada, Spain?
I have noticed a strange bump in traffic from August 14, coming from Granada Spain. I have a language specific website and there is no way I have suddenly thousands of readers in Granada. GA show the service provider is opera software asa and domain is opera-mini.net I am wondering the location shown in GA as Granda, Spain is the correct one. Perhaps Opera is proxying the traffic through it proxy server located in Granda. Or this is spammer trying to download content? Anyone else has seen this?

Human Translation versus Google Translate for Ecommerce Products
Hi all, We want to put our products on our ecommerce site into another language. I have always been under the impression that running text through Google Translate is a no no, not only for the user experience, but also it is a Google tool and I am assuming that Google would notice that it is not translated by a human. I don't know if it would incur a penalty as such but it most likely would not be favoured as a human translation Can anyone confirm their experience or impression on this? Thanks!

70 characters roughly where Google cuts off the title how many bytes for non-latin characters?
Hi So I was asked a good question by our localisation team regarding titles/descriptions and their cut off points on the google listing. I am unable to find any reference anywhere in terms of non-latin characters and the number of characters/bytes they would be before they are cut off in Google's Listing. So for latin characters it is generally around 70 for the title and 170 for the description. Now the same does not apply for Japanese, Chinese and other non-latin character languages. These generally work in the number of bytes. Does anyone have a standard rule for ensuring the title/description are not too long/short when the listing displays in the search results? Thanks

Multi country targeting for listing site, ccTLD, sub domain or .com/folder?
Hi I know this has been covered in a few questions but seen nothing recent that may take into account changes google may have applied. We would like to target multiple english speaking counties with a new project and I'm a little unsure as to whether ccTLD, subdomain or subfolders are the best way to publish country specific information. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Global SEO - How quickly/aggressively should one expand into multiple countries?
SITUATION: Our client is a global company lacking the global presence, so naturally the idea is performing international/global SEO in each country. For benchmarking purposes, our plan is to focus on a select number of keywords (ie 8-15) for each country and begin link building within each respective country. All SEO effort (ie. link building) will be for sub-folders (ie. www.client.com/subfolder/) on the same top level domain. Note, each country may have multiple languages, so each language will be broken out as it's own unique SEO campaign with it's very own strategy and link building efforts. For example: Mexico has 2 languages (English & Spanish) and will be considered 2 separate campaigns. PROBLEM: The client wants to be extremely aggressive and perform SEO on 3 new countries every month. This amounts to 36 new countries/SEO campaigns per year. Assuming each country has 2 languages each, we are looking at 6 SEO campaigns per month, or 72 per year. Our concern is that since all SEO effort will be performed on the same top level domain, we may be growing too fast and the search engines may consider the addition of these new pages and links to be too 'spammy'. We'd love to hear some feedback or personal experience on what might be considered a "safe" or "healthy" expansion into different countries. Thanks!

Does it matter whether you use /en vs /uk
I have a global site targeting many countries including the UK which is the only English language site. Does it matter whether I use /en or /uk for the UK sub-folder? If I already have /en in place, but my Google UK listings are struggling, will it benefit me to switch to /uk? I honestly don't think it matters too much, but given the choice would've gone for the /uk I'm trying to weigh up whether it is worth the effort of changing it.
