So in google analytics I am seeing two links for every post I have on my wordpress site. See: https://www.screencast.com/t/JVoudis1eK8P
All the duplicate links are the same except for /404/ at the beginning. I checked my database and don't see these links. They do link to the correct page and don't display the /404/ in the url toolbar when clicked.
I inherited this site so I didn't set it up. Has anyone ever seen this? Is a plugin doing this? (We use yoast).
Thanks,
Mike
My suspicion isn't Google Analytics, but something on your site isn't right. Load up an Inspect session in your browser such as Google Chrome, and then go to the Network tab, and watch each request. You'll look for the "status" column for anything that's not a 200. I'd bet something like a JS, CSS, or image isn't loading, and your site is redirecting each 404 request to a page and passing the referring URL to it.

I am working on a website "https://datasiplus.com".
When i type datasiplus on google, i get as 3rd result this url "https://datasiplus.com.cutestat.com/".
Is it normal ?
Can it be the cause for my website having unwanted popup ads ?
How to check search results of website on google?
You can see all indexed pages from your website (domain) if you go to google search and type the following
site:datasiplus.com
cutestat.com is it normal?
This page is a tool to get information about a specific domain. It's estimating the value, traffic and lot more. Either this tool has automatically crawled your page or someone searched for your domain with it.
There is a form on their site, where you can request to remove your domain from cutestat.com here
So yes, it's normal that this is in google index because it's like a subpage of their tool and datasiplus is a keyword for both sites, yours and datasiplus.com.cutestat.com
If you go to google now and search for datasiplus, then you can already see your own question there.
Can it be the cause for my website having unwanted popup ads?
No, this page will not cause unwanted popup ads on your page (or any other page).
Popups like this is most probably caused by malware on your page. This may be introduced through some security holes in wordpress and / or from one of the plugins you are using.
To get started to search and remove such malware, you can start at this SO question
Two days ago we posted a new blog on a site with the aim of being picked up for the search term "live comedy in chippenham". It’s been indexed by Google and we’re now 2nd in the results for the search query. The bad news is that for some reason the post has been indexed as a https URL so all browsers give a warning when the link is clicked.
Firefox gives this error:
The owner of www.neeld.co.uk has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.
The host has confirmed that it's not a server config error and we have other posts and pages on the site that are being indexed correctly. We're using WordPress and the Yoast plugin. I can't see anywhere in Webmaster Tools that could be causing the problem.
Can anyone offer any advice please? If you search Google for "live comedy in chippenham" you'll see the issue (it's the link https://www.neeld.co.uk/live-comedy-in-chippenham/)?
It's a really strange one but something I've experienced before.
It has mostly likely been caused by an external link to the page using https protocol which Google has followed before indexing the page. Google are very keen to index https pages at the moment so we might start seeing this kind of issue more often.
There's not a lot you can do other than wait for Google to realise their mistake and list the correct URL in the SERPS. You can help speed this along with a canonical link (which I can see is there), XML sitemap (which you've got) and a server level redirect of https to http.
Do not try to remove the page in Webmaster Tools as this won't have the desired effect and will stop Google reindexing the page properly.
Hope this helps.
I am using wordpress and I needed a application which is made with codeigniter.
I was useing facebook sdk 4 to let my user login but after few day it got phishing by google chrome. Then I delete the application, now it's 404 page.... I request a review in google but no help.
my only one directory got effected by phishing where the application was located else everything is fine. I have talked with google forum but they are all idiots saying i have problem in my 404 page. if the problem in 404 page then my hole site would effected not one directory. I am using popup add from www.popads.net
I think popup is not the problem can i am useing popup in my full site....
http://www.ogx1.com/addme
this link will show 404 but if you add a / it will show phishing... i have no idea what is wrong
http://www.ogx1.com/addme/
guys need help if you can suggest me with any thing....
and can you tell me how many day google take to remove the flag??
thanks :)
It's very likely that the user activity in that page have caused it to be blocked. If users post links to pishing websites, your website will be blocked as well.
If your pages had comments or posts, use CodeIgniter's XSS Clean or any equivalent WP function to prevent malicious code/URLs from being posted by users/bots.
I'm not sure if google will ever unlock the page, so you should consider renaming the "addme" page.

first i like know how can i see what are the pages are cached of my web site. say my web site is www.mysite.com
i am going to change few urls of my site but there is one problem that i may loose SEO. suppose google cached this page of my url like
www.mysite.com/detailproduct.aspx?id=200 now i have change the location and name of the page. say now detail product name change to product and url looks like
www.mysite.com/catalog/products.aspx?id=200 so when people search google and if this link www.mysite.com/detailproduct.aspx?id=200 comes in google search and if user click on this link then no relevant page will display. so first of all i need to know what are the different pages has been cached of my web site by google if i know then i can write permanent redirection logic as a result google cache pages url will be change..i guess.
if anyone know any best practice to handle this situation then please discuss in details. the situation is few page name and location has been change and if user search google and if old page url comes then no page will display when user click on those link. i want to handle this situation in best way....what is all of your suggestion. thanks
I have a e-commerce site using Umbraco.
The google analytics code works fine on most of the pages but for some reason doesn't work on the 'secure pages' (pages the user has to log in to see).
I've tried moving the code to various places in the HTML with no joy.
Any ideas?
The best way to resolve this is try to track for yourself, if the __utm.gif is called on the page that should be the Goal URL. You can use the Net tab in Firebug, Live HTTP Headers or Fiddler (if you use other browser than Firefox) to track all request on the page.
