adding LinkedIn article pages as a property in Google Search Console - linkedin

Is there a way to add LinkedIn article pages as properties in Google Search Console ?
This is possible with Squarespace, Wordpress, medium, etc. We should be able to give LinkedIn the code generated by GSC when adding a property, then submit the code to LinkedIn to be added to our company or profile page. In that way articles are indexed by Google search immediately.
When I post articles on LinkedIn it can be months before they are indexed by Google search, if at all. It's not a rankings issue, I test independently of rankings by searching:
article title site:linkedin.com
We would not need to depend on Microsoft and Google to cooperate if we could add directly to GSC pages as a property we own and/or are responsible for.

How to comparing pageviews stemming from search and from navigation on Google Analytics?

I'd like to see how many users view products by using the search feature vs how many go through using the nav. All pages using the search have "/search" in the URL and all pages going thorough the navigation have "/department". I'm wondering if there is a way to see how many pageviews there are that contain each of those terms.
If you have Google Analytics on the site, just go to the Behavior section and All pages report, then you can also use the filter to isolate the pages path you want.

Google Analytics - Some weird URLs are being registered in behavior reports

We made a google analytics account for one of our clients as part of the requirements.
Under Reporting tab, we have sections like Behavior -> Site Content -> All pages. In All Pages section we are able to see a table which contains all the urls which are viewed with respective pageviews , unique pageviews and other dimensions.
A normal page view looks like:"/pwsportal/faces/homePageNav/mktplan_adf.Ctrl_9_afrLoop_1234423".
Some how there are some weird page urls like :
I tried using Exclude Filters and couldn't eliminate these kind of urls.
From one on the blog i got to know that if any url contains any script tags it is a part of hacking technique called cross site scripting.
Finally i am here to find a solution to eliminate the these kind of existing urls and to prevent them from getting registered in future into google analytics.

SEO is a slow and steady process; naturally it will take time to achieve the top position in search result.
Things you should do;
1) Add meta title and description to each page based on the keywords
2) Include keywords in URL of the page
3) Create a webmaster tool and use fetch page option to get listed in search engines (Example: Google webmaster is must needed)
4) Create brand pages in social media sites and interlink with website
5) submit your website to dmoz.org

How to make an analytics for my website members page?

I have a website where members can create their own page. Current I have a script that tracks how many views the member page was viewed. But I would like to display more information like unique visits, return visits etc.
Is there any analytic software that could let me do that?
I am guessing you want to display on each member page some analytics information.
You didn't specify what language you used to build the site.
Here's a PHP API class to query a Google Analytics account.
Also, check this and this for documentation about the API. You can retrieve analytics data / metrics in many ways that the default Analytics reports don't show.
Now you need to think of a way to differentiate between member pages in Analytics (use custom variables in your tracking code, maybe).
Hope this helps.
If you don't want to deal with getting in to the Google Analytics API, I suggest you check out some of the solutions on the Google Analytics Application Gallery. I for one work with embeddedanalytics. While we don't have it very well published on our site, we have done a number of CMS type implementations, allowing a single implementation to be used by many different users of the site. The differentiation could be based on page path or some specific custom variable. Visit us and contact us directly if you are interested.

Multiple links pointing to the same location. Track which one was clicked using Google Analytics

I'm trying to get Google Analytics to track the specific link in the page that was used by the users to get to a specific location.
Say I have links poing to the contact page from the main menu, the page's contents and the footer.
Looking at what other websites are doing, I've added references inside GET parameters for each of the links like so: http://www.example.com/contact?ref=menu , http://www.example.com/contact?ref=content and http://www.example.com/contact?ref=footer . I've also added the ref parameter to the ignore list inside Google Analytics so the three URLs are not tracked as separate pages.
My question now is: How sould I go about tracking which one was used to get to the contact page?
Although the post is a bit old, for others like me finding this via search, here is the solution. Enhanced Link Attribution in Google Analytics.

Sounds like you are already tracking them with the URL param.
If Google Analytics is successfully tracking them as separate pageviews with the ref= URL param, then you could create a custom report in GA that shows the number of pageviews. The custom report can be added to your dashboard for quick reference.
The custom report can be set up like this:
Metric groups: pageviews
Dimension drilldowns: page
Filters: include -> Page -> regex -> /contact\?ref=(content|menu|footer)
Or, for each click, add the following to each link:
Contact
Contact
Repeat for each link. This is no more work than adding a ref= to each link.
