HI Nadja. Thanks for your help. I've asked around ti my theme support. They checked everything and it's fine. I've asked my new host provider and it's the same.

I've asked for help on the GA forum but nobody can't give me ideas on this. But i know some people are having the same issue sometime.

It's seems it might be related to thd domain transfer, DNS or protocal change, etc ?

Any idea where i have to look more closely in your opinion ?

Sylvain

Hi Sylvain; I really want to help you, but your question is vague. I cannot tell you where to look, when I am not certain what you want to look for.

Hi, thanks for your answer. The issue is quite simple. 3 weeks ago, I made some some changes. I moved my site to an other host provider, transferred my registrar here in France, and change my theme. I was offline’ for 15 days to work on my site. Then when I sent online again, I saw that my Google Analytics isn’t registering the traffic origin properly.

Since then, my direct traffic increase a lot compare to other Chanel’s. It’s like if GA isn’t able to know, for a part of my traffic, the origin, and then it goes to direct.

I know something went wrong as it’s not possible to have for me 300/400 people from direct traffic per day. All others channels decrease also and I’m pretty sure a big part of my direct traffic isn’t direct but from others channels.

Is that more clear ?
Sylvain

Sylvain; yes; you are more clear now. Is it WA you transfer to? If it is WA hosting you have transfer to you could contact: Site Support.

If not, you could log into your Google Analytic account and search it out from them directly why it is how it is.

I hope that this will help you and I wish you success.
Enjoy the rest of your day.

No I decided to leave the hosting here to else where. So site suppers can't help me. Do you have a way to contact GA ?

Hi Marion,

thanks for your feedback on this. Of course, it doesn't mean it transfer my website, i already know this :-)

I already move my website else where in France for different personal choices. I want to have everything here. I was just wondering if it was au automatic system or not. I will wait until tomorrow.

Thanks !
Sylvain

Yes, it's automatic so it doesn't matter what day of the week or what time of day it is anywhere in the world.

Thanks Marion, if you're right, that does mean, there is a problem here, as my domain tranfert was supposed to start the 11 March at 9.10 am.

Nothing happened yet so far from what i saw. I will wait from the support answer. They have to help me here as i purchased the domain name through WA.

Thanks

Sylvain

Time is relative Sylvain. whatever time it is for you in your part of the world it's a different time in other time zones. Right now, for me, it's 10:30 am Tuesday 12th March.

Wait until a a couple of days have passed before getting concerned.

Yes of course, it's relative. Here it's 14.05 pm, 11th march. I will wait then for some news.

Sylvain

Hi, I believe when they (WA) say "by March 11 by 9:10am" they don't truly mean by that exact date and time. This is based on my experience. However, I am sure this will be resolved within a few days as Marion states.

Follow up with Site Support, but I wouldn't be too concerned unless this process remained unchanged for the next 3-4 days.

Hi, i just received an email an hour ago of my new registrar that the transfert was completed. Everything is fine now.

Thanks :-)

Fabulous, you are on your way!

It's good they let you know :)

Yes it is

Thanks on your opinion Robert. I guess i will have to wait until tomorrow. I don't have any news sadly from support and they said they can't have any news on the transfert. It's our of their hand as they said but, i mean, we actually register here at WA. So in my opinion, WA should be able to gave us some news.

Have you contacted your new Hosting company?
They might be able to give you more info than WA.
I'm afraid because you are leaving them they might not be feeling too helpful.
Robert

Of course, i've contacted them. Everything is alright on their side and the only thing they're waiting is the approval of my old registrar (here on WA -> enom)

I will wait until tomorrow to see what happen. But tomorrow is the last day according to my new registrar. I'll see what happen.

Thanks
Sylvain

Thanks Jay for your feedback on this.

Is there any proof that we don't want to go out here and get them (paid backlink). What is the difference actually between having them naturally or not ?

Because from what i know, you can actually buy a "natural link". What are you thoughts about this ?

Thank you Jay for the clarifying information on this!

Hi Loes, thanks for your opinion on this. This is really a big question for me as the opinion on this are so different.

This might have your interest Google updates, Panda, Penguin, Hummingbird, and Hawk

Thanks Loes, i will have a look at it :-)

Thanks. Yes that's an opinion, 2 years ago. I wonder if that change or not.

Kyle clearly think it's not necessary but if you have a look on Google, you will also found opposite opinion on the matter
