Site Designer & Google Analytics

It seems that Google Analytics does not recognize any of the dozen or so pages I have created with Site Designer. My site has a couple of hundred pages created with FrontPage/Expression Web mostly. New versions of my home page and the various menu section pages that I redesigned with SD [using the same names that they previously had] never show up in Google's reports. NEVER. Some of those pages used to get large amounts of visits. Now, zippo. My web host set up the Analytics previous to my using SD, so maybe I should be asking them, but I suspect I have not done something correctly. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated

Please hold me informed if you find something - I have a similar problem - after a rebuild in SD - Even when I search for rare expressions or certain sentences - used on my page - I cannot find it in Google.
I thought the reason might be the flat structure of the pages and changed that but so far I have not yet found out if that changed something.

Have either of you checked to see if Google considers your website 'mobile friendly"
If not then they probably won't list it on the seeps,
They started that a couple of years ago now and although there are still plenty of older sites still listed they are catching up.

I did a search on google for
"See you on the Trail! Happy Trails! ... Rich Federici"

came out No 1 also (home page)

however, I did a search for mohicanpress.com/mo01000.html

No1 also, but then it's the only one out of billions of pages. which took me to your "Pathfinding" page

Hi again, Wayan! I'm fine. How's your foot?

Anyway, I, too, can find my site in searches, but on my analytics page [page view] the SD pages never show any visitors, yet, they were some of the most popular pages historically [before SD]. I don't know if they are just not registering - for some reason - on Google Analytics or if they really are not receiving even a single hit.

Have you linked the Google Analytica thingy to your new SD index page for example

I can't remember if your version of SD has the ability to place your analytics thingy in the header, on the latest version you can do it and make it global so every page you have is linked to google Analytics

How about some of your old site pages? still done in Front Page? are any of them showing up?

Still having pain & problems, there is a big hole where my ankle and the back of my foot used to be, looks like there will have to be some cosmetic stuff done, my toe is still black but not as bad as before. Thanks
I can drive a little bit now, we have a new automatic gears car so I don't have to use the clutch anymore, at least I am more mobile now.

Thanks

Take care and stay safe as always

I no longer use FrontPage. Those pages, if I just need minor edits, I do in CoffeeCup HTML Editor. If they need more, then it would need to be a redo in Site Designer - very reluctant to do that given the results on Google so far.

I have the latest version of SD, so I guess I can add what Google needs - Does this look correct?

<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-157727100-1"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());

gtag('config', 'UA-157727100-1');
</script>


PS - Sounds like you're lucky to still have your foot!
