Though there is no redirection not any error in landing pages.
But in reporting, while selecting landing pages against source of traffic, every landing page ends with "/homepage"
EG :
google / organic |
http://www.knexusgroup.com/show/blog/successful-business-to-business-marketing-campaigns/homepage
This "/homepage" is coming on all landing pages of websites.
how to solve this problem to get correct data in analytics.
I would suggest to check Default page value in View Settings. It may have /homepage there, remove 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
one of my clients websites shows a wrong URL when I open the landing page in a new browser. Note that the source/ medium is organic. The sub pages that shows in my landing page column are right, but when I open it to see and check the website, it redirects me to a spammy website or what i believe is one of our competitors trying to copy our site. I have no idea how does it happen, i check all the property settings and everything is fine. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
I have setup my website on google webmaster. As i was looking into Crwal errors i was few server errors and URL Errors.
URL Error(404):
I have a page like this /home/GetCitiesShow which. This page dosent have a physical link on my website, but i use that page as intermediate page. If i add that URL in address bar, site will display a custom page not found error which i have created.
This page show up in my google webmaster in URL Error section.
I have bunch of questions regarding this
1) How google crawled this page? Its dostn have a physical link or a physical page(.html or .asp) on site and its not in sitemap.xml.
2) IF i have maintain a custom page not found on page based on URL request , why its coming up as 404 Error on google webmaster?
3) Best practice for this error? Add it in robot.txt or handle error differently or just do something else?
There are many reasons that you are showing 404 error of some page that dones not even exit in you web sites
1. May be your domain was previously in used and already indexed in google
2. You used a theme that creates demo pages and those pages indexed automatically as Google bot always keep searching and indexing new pages in search.
Try search in google site:yourdomain.com to explore all indexed page of your domain/website
you can submit request to remove unwanted url through google webmaster/search console
I have a Web site built in Drupal 7 - we'll call it website.com. Outside of that site, I have a campaign specific landing page - we'll call that website.com/landingpage. On this page, there are a couple of buttons back to the main website (website.com). I have goals set up that track a user from that landing page, back to the main site home page, then through a few other steps. for some reason, even though I know users are clicking through to the site, I'm getting a 100% drop-off from the landing page to the main site...
...anyone have any thoughts as to why this is?
Is it a dynamic webapp? Is the routing is handled in the client and not on the server side?
If it is a dynamic webapp and routing is handled in the client, then GA won't track your pageviews automatically, and you have to do it manually. https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/single-page-applications

For some reason Google Analytics is appending index.cfm to the end of all of my URLs when I look at them in GA. The domain used to be ColdFusion based, but is now a WordPress PHP website running on an Apache server without ColdFusion installed.
We've added new pages to the website, and GA is still reporting an index.cfm at the end of the URL, even though that page never existed on the old ColdFusion site.
I didn't set up the GA account initially, is there maybe a setting that was enabled? Or does it take GA a while to figure out it's not a ColdFusion website anymore?
By the way, the website in question is http://www.westgatereservations.com. Thanks.

Screenshot of page list from Google Analytics. All of these pages are WordPress PHP pages that use a clean permalink URL structure.
This is Google Analytics's 'Default Page' feature. If you go to the Account Settings and Edit the Profile Information, you'll see there's a field called "Default Page". It basically does what the theoretical filter I described above does: it automatically appends the default page (in this case, index.cfm) onto every page URL that doesn't have a page suffix. It's a shortcut, since most of the time, users want /foo and /foo/index.html to be counted as the same thing. But it totally breaks on WordPress and 'prettified' URLs, since they don't have a file suffix.
Just remove the Default Page (leave it blank) and the problem should be resolved. I'm not sure if it will be retroactive (Google Analytics rarely allows retroactive changes), but it will resolve the problem moving forward.
