      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

      Dan

        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

          There is a profile set up in GSC for all the language versions, its just the Turkish version (the only 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.

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

          Many Thanks

            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?

                Google Search Console not loading some resources

                When I check an URL with Search Console it cannot load some page resources, even from other domains (like: ssl.google-analytics.com, www.facebook.com and www.google-analytics.com).
                Have any of you experienced this issue?
                Steps to reproduce: open Google Search Console check an URL click "View crawled page" link select "More info" tab click "Page resources" {?}/{?} couldn't be loaded When I check the listed resources, all of them can be loaded from a web browser.
                So I do not understand why Google cannot load them.
                And there is no additional info why the resources could not be loaded.
                Any ideas? google-search-console-other-error-1.png google-search-console-other-error-2.png

                Impression and click discrepancies in Search Console when filtering by date

                I recently filtered query information by week and day. The impression and click totals were different depending on whether I looked at totals by a full weeks or by day. So for example, the impression and click totals when I choose a date range of  monday-sunday are different when I look at impressions and clicks that same week by day and then add up the click and impression numbers to get a weekly total. At first i was expecting a slight difference since I know the data is heavily sampled but the totals were very different. Any explanations for this? Thanks

                Google Analytics SEO Queries Not Showing

                Hi All, This might be a silly question, but for all the properties I monitor in Google Analytics, I'm now showing no data for SEO Queries under Acquisition for the past 6 days. Normally I would expect a few day delay in queries, but nothing for 6 days is somewhat peculiar especially as it was functioning fine prior to November 12th. Does anyone have insight into what might be going on? Thanks! URaNMa3

                Referral Traffic from Google

                Hello, I have a question about my company's new website. I've worked in SEO and studied Google Analytics results for a few years now but have never really come across something like this. I started in this position in January of this year and when I started breaking down the traffic sources in Google Analytics, I noticed most of the traffic was coming from Google.com as a referral source. I had never seen Google.com as a referral source before so I looked into options for what it could be. It was not a paid ad and our organic traffic was coming through in Analytics, Before I could get any further, our new website was launched (we switched CRM's to WordPress) and the referral traffic from google went from 2,966 in January of 2015 to 22 in February 2015. for more comparison, in February of 2014, the referral traffic from Google was 2,496. I expected a drop when we switched CRM's but we correctly re-directed all pages and created a new sitemap and our organic traffic is up since the switch (not enough to cover drop in referral). I thought at first this had to do with our Google sellers account being de-activated when we made the switch, but I quickly fixed this over a month ago and no change. I'm wondering if anyone has ever seen Google.com come through as a referral source in Google Analytics and if they we're able to figure out what it actually was. This would be a great help! Thank you, Alex

                Google Analytics Organic Search Keywords Suddenly Displaying FulL Urls

                In my Google Analytics, the top keywords for Organic Search are suddenyl displaying full URLs. For example, now the third and fourth keywords are http://www.domain.com/highly-specific-URL. These have all started recently around the same day, July 12th. I've checked back, and we've made no internal changes to the site around that time that could affect this. Any thoughts on this? Thanks! P.S. It might be related to rich snippets, but I cannot tell at this point.

                Google Analytics and DNS change

                Our new alumni application is going be tested at domain uva.imodules.com .  We are going to collect traffic data with a Google analytics account number UA-884652-XX. So going to uva.imodules.com/myPage.html would send its data to Google Analytics with that account number.     Then when it is ready for production we are going to just change the domain name of the application and switch the DNS over to dardencommunity.darden.virginia.edu .  So going to dardencommunity.darden.virginia.edu /myPage.html would send its data to  Google Analtics with that SAME account number.  Aside from having the testing domain data in the same profile are there any other issues/problems we may run into?

                Localhost:4444 Showing Up in Google Analytics

                Hello All, Lately in my Google Analytics account I have noticed a referral source labelled: localhost:4444 The number of visits is really high from this source, but I have no idea (no clue!) what it actually means. Can anyone shed some light on what this is about? Should I be creating some sort of filter to screen out this as a referral source (assuming it is not legitimate)? Many thanks in advance. Cheers!

                AW Stats vs Google Analytics

                Hey Moz Community, I am looking to get opinions on the best practice for analytics/traffic analysis. From experience I know that AW Stats reads high and Google Analytics reads low for traffic for reason in this article http://www.smartz.com/blog/2009/01/23/analytic-confusion-%E2%80%93-awstats-vs-google-analytics/ It drives me a little nuts how far off both are for some pages.  I have one article that shows 100 views (GA) and AW stats shows 5 times that number of views. Any suggestions or systems you recommend? Thanks
