Simple Google Analytics - Support

[khopek]

Any sites / browsers that block JavaScript will not show up in GA. You might get an idea of this (very general) by looking at the number of visitors that come to your site who have JavaScript enabled. Those that don't more than likely are not counted in your GA totals.

AHH I was JUST going to ask about that! I have no-sript installed for Firefox and I always block everything. There has been many times I haven't allowed google analytics on sites....

Yeah, this is something that many people don't think about, but it is mentioned by Google in the "depths" of their explanation of Google Analytics. They tell you that tracking may differ at times due to users who are blocking JavaScript.

Since their tracking runs purely on JS, those visitors would not be recorded in the statistics (this includes conversions with e-commerce, sales, etc...). All that tracking would be blocked.

I don't suppose you know how to block it from recording when you go on your own site?

I tried following Google explanation of having to make a file with JS code in it, then creating a filter telling it to Exclude computers with that cookie on it....

Makes NO sense....

Yes, that IS the best way to do it and it does work. I use it myself.

What problems are you having with that? maybe I can make sense of it for you.

Have you tried to exclude your IP address (assuming it is not dynamic) using the same Filter Manager?

I am finishing up a new workbook that is due to be released on or before August 15th called Google Analytics Uncovered for Zen Cart: The Workbook. In it I go through a number of things including the Filter Manager. That may help when available.

I guess what I don't understand is how to set up the filter to actually exclude it?

I made a file with the JS code in it and just put it the Google_Analytics folder that came with the mod...wasn't sure where to put it so I put it there.

Then Google said to create a filter....

Filter Type: Custom filter > Exclude
Filter Field: User Defined

I guess this is where I am lost. I can create the filter but as far as how to tell it to exclude computers with that cookie...I have no idea.

Send me your "js" code so I can take a look at what you are supposed to be excluding.

I'll see if I can figure out what is going on for you.
