Simple Google Analytics - Support

[copels]

Hi there

I've been using Google Analytics for a while but I've now decided to add the ecommerce tracking.

Do I need to delete the code I put in the footer file before I install Simple Google Analytics?

Thanks

Steve

When I look at my google analytics it tells me my highest search keywords....however I question if this is accurate because it says that 11 people searched a product in a specific size yesterday on my site and according to my user tracking, I didn't have even one person search for that product, let alone a specific size.
What am I doing wrong?

Google search terms are for terms that are searched on from the INTERNET (the search engine Google). I don't use the "user tracking" module in my zen sites, but if I recall from reading that tracks the searches performed on your actual Zen Cart site where as Google reports on those terms searched on through their engine alone.]

You haven't "done" anything wrong from a "technical perspective". You're reading the statistics wrong.

With user tracking you can tell what site the customer came from, if it is from a google search or google products ect... I can tell that customers came to my site using other search terms but I do not see any searches for the 1. keyword phrase.
I can find every other keyword or keyword phrase just not that one.

Keep in mind that Google Analytics would not report correct data if the user on the other end has JavaScript disabled in their browser or blocked. In addition, sometime the presence of a firewall will cause tracking to not work. This is information that is directly stated in the Google Help section for their system.

This may be the case you are seeing. Since Google Analytics runs using JavaScript, any user with it disabled or blocked will not be tracked.

Hope that helps. :)

I'm working through the setup of conversion tracking. When I do the code verification in the adwords control panel, it says it cannot find the code on my checkout_success page. But when I go to my checkout success page, sure enough there it is.

Sooo . . . what do I do? If the status on google is 'Verification failed' will it still track conversions? Any thoughts from the experts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When I compared the code that was showing up on my checkout_success page to the code that google was telling me to copy and paste, I noticed a few small discrepencies. For example this code for the google_conversion_label was different. (I however have no idea what this means.)

Sooo, I turned off the tracking in the admin, and hard coded the sucker in the tpl_main_page for the checkout success page. I have now verified that the code shown is EXACTLY the same code google is telling me to show, but yet, it still fails verification. . . .

Yes, if you manually inserted the e-commerce tracking code into your footer file, then you will want to remove that if you install Simple Google Analytics. The Module automatically inserts the proper e-commerce tracking code for you so there is no need to manually insert it.
