How to avoid Googe Forms being Flag with thousands of users from the same network? - google-forms

I managed a monthly events (one day) on our community where we make quizes for around 4 hundres users per day per forms. It was a new account we made last January and we have around 35 forms at that time. Each form was embedded to a googlesite and We had set 10 sessions for the users to access the quiz. Fortunately, Google flagged 5 of 35 forms and 2 of the google sites. There was one group of users from one big school using their 5 labs (probably with the same network) to access the flagged forms. Is this the categorized as violating Google's Policy? How can I avoid my forms being flagged?
In the meantime my strategy is to make copies of the forms and prepare new links for the users.

How to create a Firebase Audience to ask for an App Store Review/Rating

I want to create a Firebase Audience to ask to rate/review my app.
The condition I would like to have for a user to fit into the above audience is: a user who has opened the app at least 10 times, over the course of 3 distinct days.
Is it possible to create an audience with this condition?
I am open to suggestions to change/improve the condition. Or even a completely different condition that will achieve the same goal.
You can create a custom audience, choose events as condition and pick session_start.
Than you can choose additional options like the number of session and period.
This does not guarantee you 3 distinct days though. But by default Firebase will only count a new session every 30min. So most of those users have had their session over 3 days anyways. Firebase also gives you a preview of the audience size. So you can easily check how many users would be in that audience with a period of e.g. one day.
In general i would recommend asking users for rating who had a positive experience within your app. Completing certain action etc. and use that event for the audience.

Retrieving last 12 months data per ga:year

I'm trying to generate data for the last 12 months in Google Sheets using the GA add-on but ga:users is not showing same figure as GA web because my dimension is ga:year which makes it break it down to adding 2016 to 2017 data.
ga:month would break it down too much and give the overall figure a greater difference.
Any ideas how to fix this so that I can same data as web for users?
Thanks.
Here's my configuration:
Last year Partner
core
ga:xxxxxxxxxxx
01/08/2016
31/07/2017
ga:users
ga:sessions
ga:bounceRate
ga:pageviews
ga:pageviewsPerSession
ga:year
HIGHER_PRECISION
Adding the users from the two distinct years will not match the users from the web interface. The web interface is giving you the de-duplicated number of users.
i.e. anyone visiting the site in Nov-16 and Feb-17 is counted as one user in the web interface, while you are double counting them from your yearly output.

GTM / GA / Enhanced Ecommerce setup Best practices help is needed

I am new in dealing with GTM /GA / Enhanced Ecommerce tracking and seeking some advice on best practices. We will soon be implementing multiple sites (each having different locale) below is the example of the sites domain structure : www.mysite.com/uk- UK
www.mysite.com/de- german
www.mysite.com/in - india
Here is the approach that i think will work out best...i am planning to set one GTM Account since parent company is same (mysite) but different GTM containers (one for each country) We will be using same GA account for all the countries and all the variable/triggers/events for GA will be setup in their respective container.I will be implementing Enhanced Ecommerce via dataLayer (GTM) and for each purchase, i will be prefixing order id with 2 digit country code i.e uk12345, de35535 etc.
How can i make sure that the GA events can be tracked separately for each country as well so that while looking at the reports, user should be able to track user for individual sites and even roll up the reports for the entire company.
Any best practices. screenshots explanations will b appreciated.
TIA
I would recommend having just one GTM container, pointing to one GA property.
This is much simpler to maintain and manage.
You can then creates views for each of your countries, using filters on subdirectories (Filter Type: Predefined, Include only, traffic to subdirectories, that are equal to, "/in/" for instance). You can create a view with no filters, on top of it, for global reporting.
This also allows you to give users different access rights for each country, if you want an analyst to have access to only one country for instance.
You don't need to prefix the country code to each order number, the "Page" dimension in GA will give you the page from which the order have been passed, that should be including "/in/" or "/uk/".
In our case, we have multiple domains for our different countries (oursite.com.ng, oursite.ci, oursite.ma, etc.), one GA property per country, and one unique GTM containers pointing to the different GA properties thanks to a lookup variable in GTM.
But I ended up copying the GA property settings 14 times (for our 14 countries), it would have been much better to do it only once.
Plus, to report cross-country, we had to use the API to avoid downloading and combining 14 reports every time.

Google Analytics: Profile Workaround

I currently have more than 50 microsites on my main websites. That is I have one main top level domain and I have more than 50 microsites (and growing) in subfolders on that domain.
Previously I used separate GA web properties for the separate microsites (different GA tracking ID's), which worked fine and I was able to track each sites' activity well. However, I talked to a GA staffer over email and he told me I should switch to using a singular GA web property and use multiple profiles to segment the data by subfolder/microsite. That seemed logical for a lot of reasons, tracking users over the entirety of the website in one GA session being the main one.
Anyway, I have one subfolder which houses an array of microsites, numbering almost 40 right now. I don't necessarily need to have a profile for each one of these sites but there are a couple of important ones that I need to report on individually and on a regular basis I'd like to see how traffic to the other individual sites are doing.
So my question: Is there a way in a single profile to segment data to 40+ (and growing) microsites and see month to month stats on each site? Is there a way I can load a profile dashboard with the stats (Visits/pageviews) from each microsite? Is segmenting the data even what I should be looking at? How would you, a more advanced GA user, tackle this problem?
Many thanks for your input!
jimdo (http://www.jimdo.com) offers a Google Analytics based statistics tool for their DIY website creator. They put hundreds of the (usually low traffic) sites in one profile, set a custom var with a unique ID per site and query the results via the Google API, segmented by site id (at least that is what one of their founders told during a web analytics conference a few months ago). Given that the solution works for a couple of million of client sites (their claim is to host 7 million websites for their clients) segmentation based on a unique site id seems a pretty solid idea.
Updated: As custom vars are deprecated with Universal Analytics you'd now use a custom dimension instead if a custom var. Apart from that the approach should still work.

MVC3: site access via À la carte e-commerce monthly subscriptions

I know how to easily control who can view what in a site by using the membership and roles feature. However, I now want to take this a step further and allow people to purchase access to specific features, billed monthly. Basically I need a combination of an e-commerce site that sells products, mixed with a role based membership site. Below is an example of a scenario we are looking to solve:
Our site has the following sections (products):
learn spanish, learn french, learn german, learn english
We now want users to be able to buy access to just what they want. So we can give a price to each of these products.
We would also like to offer bundling discounts, so buy 2 and get $10 off. Buy all 4 and get 25% off. This should be automatic, but if needed, a coupon is fine as long as it can figure out the logic of making sure they have the correct item
We would like to restrict discounts so that we can offer them only to the first 100 people or from the days X to Y (ideally a coupon system maybe)
We want users to be "grand fathered" if we update pricing. So if someone signed up for all at $60 a month, and we later make it $100, they stay at $60
This is a monthly service so we would need it to create our invoices and work with our CC processor. I know this will involve us making an API if the system doesn't include our processor.
If possible we would love for "Pro-Rated" features, so if they currently are paying for 3 items and they have 13 days left till next billing date, they can add the 4th and pay a pro-rated amount.
All of these features are very common features for an advanced membership site, however I am just not sure what to search for to find a framework like this. I can find eCommerce and I can find role based membership, but have yet to find a decent combination of the two.
Licensed is fine as long as it works for what we need.
Thanks in advance
