1. Click Marketing & CRM > SEO 360 > Manage Metadata > Tab Main Settings.
2. Check the column URL.
3. Enter the correct URL as far as a false URL was inserted.

2. Check the Backup Process

There is a new GA code (September 2010); http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=174090

The code needs to be entered in the source code of the page. The best way to integrate the new GA code is to use a Design Attribute in the Design Module "htmlHead" or to include it directly in the "htmlHead" , either way before </head>. (Formerly the code was placed at the end of the page).

This key you got from Google, is supposed to be in the index.html between the <head></head> tags:
<meta name="verify-v1" content="...key...">

Note: We recommend the method "Upload HTML file", which is much easier to handle and to maintain. The file can be downloaded within Google WMTs (WebmasterTools) and then uploaded in the area 'files' directly in the root directory.

That the most popular search engine "Google" gets informed about new content, you can submit *.xml-files in Google as dynamic up-to-date table of contents so-called "Sitemaps". Further options for optimization you can find under "https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/".
