Simple Google Analytics - Support

[gxjenkins]

Hello,
I've been using the mod for a while now, and it was working just great. Now, it seems that data is missing when I visit Google, and I was wondering if anyone else has seen this problem.

Back on Aug. 11th was the last time that google shows any visits to my site from MSN Live Search. After finding this problem I started checking the data more closely, and found that google is only registering some of the visits, but not all. I don't see any pattern except the MSN search doesn't show up at all.

I contacted google and they wrote back that my site wasn't showing up in the MSN search and that was why I didn't see any results. Google shows I had 11 visitors yesterday, total. I wrote back and told them I show 12 visitors from MSN, and more than 30 visitors total. I haven't gotten a reply yet.

Has anyone seen anything like this?

Could it be (just a thought) that those users who are not showing up have JavaScript turned off on their browsers?

Google will not track visitors who block or have turned off JavaScript. This also can occur for some users that are behind firewalls.

Since Google runs on JS, it will miss those visits.

Here is a link to the Google help center for troubleshooting tracking issues. It may help.

GA and EZ Pages

My EZ Pages all have the GA code and I have set the EZ Pages urls as goals. I have hit those EZ Pages from several PCs with different IP's and the goals havent left 0. Not sure what to do. Thanks!

Is it just me, or is the Google Report very slow. I got over 500 hits yesterday and it didn't update today. What is there schedule for reports? The code is put in my admin, and all the files have been uploaded.

As long as the code is on the EZ Page, it should track the TRAFFIC.

As far as Goals go:

You can ONLY track Goals if you have set those up within your Google Analytics account. This is something that is a part of Google Analytics, but can NOT be installed by a script tag. It must be setup from within your Google Analytics account in order to work.

If those are in place and the tracking code is in place (which it is) then you should see Goal conversions.

Google Analytics updates every 24 hours. They do not provide "real time" reporting.

I just threw my analytics code into the footer.php page in the includes folder, works file!

I just double checked and the below page does has the GA code (did a veiw source).

I have the below as my goals within GA:

http://www.pastgenerationtoys.com/in...id=5&chapter=0

I have hit that link from mutiple machines and the goal, like all my goals, stays at 0. I can post a screen shot if that helps. Thanks! PGT

Two questions:

1) Did you setup any funnel to that goal? If so, it may not be recording due to those settings.

2) Why would you want to track that particular EZ page as a goal? Just wondering. Goals are usually used to track "event actions" on a site that relate to some type of conversion occurring.

Does a visitor arriving at that page mean something toward the sales aspect of the site?

Again, just trying to figure out why you want to track goals for that if it doesn't relate to sales? No harm meant in it, just asking. :)

Fair question - no harm taken.

I have no funnels set. I set the goals to the EZ pages for two reasons:

1) Main reason - It was a test to see if goals work.

2) Since my URLs are not easily translated to what's on the page this was meant to be an easy way to see if people were visting those pages. I would love to know if they are worth the time it takes to build them as I would build more like the "toy commercial" page. That page in particular is in the "works" to bring in sales by showing the toy commercial and has links to buy that toy seen in the commercial.

But... goals always stay at 0.
