    Due to a walled garden situation, I need to input all the servers we should have access to via IP Address. We need to track the way our users are browsing within the garden, so I require all the IP addresses that Google Analytics would use. I tried googling it, but was not able to find any definitive answers.

    Thank you in advance,

    Heather

      Indeed, if you want to whitelist a list of Google IPs, we'd be talking about a TON of IPs. To my knowledge, there doesn't seem to be a public list anywhere.

      I'm afraid there is no good answer for your question.

      Your best bet might be experimenting with an self-hosted Analytics package like Urchin.

        Hi,

        The reason we require the IP addresses is that we have all internet access completely shut down, so there is no way for our site to send out a call to Google Analytics each time a user loads the page unless the IP address of the google servers have been added to our whitelist, therefore allowing data out from our network to theirs.

        I did a bunch of research after initially asking the question back in November and it apparently there are no specific IP ranges for just Google Analytics related servers (they are just part of the overall server farm). We would need to whitelist well over a 100,000 ip addresses based on the ranges I found.

        Thank you,

        Heather

          Yes, I think we need this clarified as there are two things to be considered with Analytics - depending which method you want to use to verify your site you may need Googlebot to have access. There is another option in this case though - you could simply turn off the firewall, verify the site and then turn the firewall back on.

          Of course Keri is quite right in that there is no need for crawlers to access the site for Analytics to work once verification has been completed as it uses javascript to send information from the browser.

          The other question to be addressed though is "do you want any of the pages behind the firewall to be indexed?". If the answer is no, then the question will have been answered by the previous comments.

          If the answer is yes, then you would need to whitelist the entire range to give googlebot(s) ongoing access.

            Can you clarify if you're talking about Google Analytics, or about the google bot crawling the site itself?

              I don't believe this is generally a problem, because traditionally googlebot doesn't use javascript that would trigger GA in the first place.

                Hi Heather,

                I think the closest you would get would be to run a Whois lookup for google.com, which will show you a series of IP address ranges that are associated with the domain.

                While it will not give you the specific addresses for Analytics, it will also ensure that you are not blocking any of the various googlebots responsible for crawling, whatever job they do 🙂

                Hope that helps,

                Sha

                  How to exclude traffic for a specific mobile device in Google Analytics view?

                  Hi, Need help on how to exclude traffic for a specific mobile device in Google Analytics view. I have been searching and the only information available is excluding IP address of internal traffic. Is there any way to exclude traffic through a mobile MAC address?

                  Can you track two Google Analytics Accounts on one site?

                  If you have a site that had an old analytics account and then implemented a new one is it possible to run tracking code that records to both accounts without causing your site or data issues? We are doing this so we don't loose data at any point - ideally it wouldn't have been split between the two but making one redundant isn't an option. Ideally we would have merged the data from both accounts and had one - however the research we have done points to this not being a possibility - unless one of you guys knows different? It would be great if anyone has experience on any this.. Thanks

                  Is there a way to find out who the admin of a Google Analytics account is?

                  We have a client who has been searching high and low to gain access to the GA account that is tied to their website, but previous agencies keep stating they don't have access. Is there a way to find out who the admins are on a GA account with the tracking number so we can reach out to that person and ask them to admin the client?

                  Google Analytics Real Time Not Working! :(

                  Hello Everyone, Today, the real time feature in my google analytics stopped working. I am able to see that traffic is visiting my site, but not in real time. The real time count is usually at 0. But, there are some instances where real time will come back online, but there will be only 1 unique visitor.  At any given time, our website usually has 20 visitors or so..Has anyone encountered this issue? Where should i start looking for fixes? What are the possible problems? Thanks!

                  Tracking time spent on a section of a website in Google Analytics

                  Hi, I've been asked by a client to track time spent or number of pages visited on a specific section of their website using Google Analytics but can't see how to do this. For example, they have a "golf" section within their site and want to measure how many people either visit 5 page or more within the golf section or spend at least 6 minutes browsing the various golf section pages. Can anyone advise how if this can be done, and if so, how I go about it. Thanks

                  Set Up of Goal Tracking with Google Analytics-$750 a Fair Price????

                  Greetings Moz Community! My firm operates commercial real estate website that contains 3-4 forms.  Each form represents a goals. Google Analytics has been set up for years, but it does not track these form completions/goals properly. My SEO firm has offered to configure Goals on Google Analytics for $750. Is this a fair price? If the set up takes one hour, I am really over paying. But if this is a complex project that may take 7-9 hours the pricing seems OK. Also, the SEO firm will require an additional $750 in the future to set up event tracking. Is this excessive? I might add that my developer will need to add code to my web site. My SEO company has proven reliable and accurate. I can go to sleep at night knowing they are doing a good job. Where as my Argentinian developers really try their best, but perhaps because of the language barrier, they can make mistakes from time to time. I am willing to pay a premium to ensure that the job is done correctly domestically, however I don't appreciate over paying. Is the $750 payment for setting up Google Analytics reasonable assuming the job is done well??? Thanks,
                  Alan

                  Google Analytics - Next Page Path is the Same URL?

                  Hey Everyone, I have a Google analytics question. I'm looking through a client's site and when I look at the next page path, I get the same URL as the next path. For example, on the homepage, the next page path I get is the homepage again? This happens for all URL's, is this an implementation error? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks!

                  Google Analytics: Difference Between Goal Conversions & Goal Completions

                  When using Google Analytics, what is the difference between total goal conversions and total goal completions? We have many goals set up in a lead generation environment. Therefore, the only element of conversion is submitted a lead and arriving on the "Thank You" page. THose thank you pages are tagged accordingly. When we run reports though, the number of "Total Goal Conversions" and "Total Goal Completions" never match up.
