Google analytics doesn't seem to send through accurate data from my Kartra website. I know it's successfully embedded but something doesn't seem right based on knowing who visited my site.

I am partnering with an email newsletter to include some url links I'd like to advertise.
Can someone advise on how I might get "click" stats on these url links? The links neither redirect to my website/app, and are just links to, for example, a youtube video.
I've gone down the rabbit hole of Google's Campaign URL builder and Google tags, but am admittedly lost as a complete beginner regarding Google Analytics, tracking, etc, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
With Google Analytics, the only way you can track clicks within is if you leverage UTMs and drive traffic to a site or property that you own. I believe the UTMs might translate to YouTube account but, again, you have to own the video.
There are ways of leveraging Universal Analytics tags, in the form of pixels, that only measure when an email is opened (and the picture is essentially downloaded). But this doesn’t relate to clicks.
More than likely you will need to either use a dedicated email platform with built in analytics, or subscribe to an email analytics service. Google Analytics won’t really be of any value to you.
I'm very new to google analytics. I'm using it to know the performance metrics of a website, this website is not mine. I'm assigned to analyze the performance metrics of that website. The step i do is i sign in, put the url to the website and then i'm directed to the home but somehow in every dashboard i check, there's no data at all. The website is https://www.latihid.com/.
I'm very confused right now because I thought simple sign in and putting link url is enough for the google analytics to show me the dashboards of the data and i have seen in every tutorial I found that when they open the google analytics it will show them the dashboard with data (not blank dashboards).
Please help me, what's wrong and how to fix it
steps to begin using Google analytics.
Create account on google analytics
Add Tracking script to your website JavaScript snippet
Account creation latency (1)
When you create a new google analytics account on the google analytics website it can take between 48 -72 hours for this account to start recording data. This has nothing to do with the age of your website it has to do with the time it takes to prevision your account.
Data processing latency (2)
Once your account is ready to start displaying data and you have added the JavaScript snippet to your website and have begun sending hits to Google
analytics. If you check the real time reports on the Google analytics website you will begin seeing it recording data.
It takes 24 -48 hours for data sent to google analytics to complete processing and be shown in the standard reports. Again this has nothing to do with your website it has to do with the data processing latency on Google analytics.
There is something quite basic that confuses me. I use Google ads conversion tracking with Google Tag Manager, and I don't understand how my google analytics know about these ads in the first place. I mean, the conversion tags I create in Google Tag Manager don't include the Google Analytics tracking code at all.
What am I missing?
Thanks
It knows based on the url structure of the incoming links.
This link gives a good overview.
UTM Codes: How to Track Campaign URLs in Google Analytics
This tool allows you to see how the different urls are built and decomposed in GA.
campaign-url-builder
Essentially the structure is integrated and google analytics logically decomposes and presents the data in a meaningful format based on URL.
We are implementing a native analytics system and want to apply the same tracking principles Google Analytics uses. We've figured everything out but one thing:
Every time I refresh a page with an url that has utm-parameters attached to it, Google Analytics somehow figures out that it's not actually a visit but the same page that gets refreshed and shows only one visit in its dashboard from that particular source.
Is anybody aware how GA specifically does that so I can replicate it in our system?
I know that I can use
performance.navigation.type
in my JS script, but it doesn't give me desired results.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Attribution in GA happens on the Google servers, so JavaScript will be of limited use. Basically since a reload means that the user has the same client id and no change in the channel (source, medium and campaign are the same as in the previous visit) the existing session will be continued (a change of campaign/source information would trigger a new Google Analytics session).
Google has a very nice chart that explains how campaign information and traffic source information is processed.
I set up a dynamic Google Forwarding number in Adwords on a website to track calls.
How the heck can I pull this data into Google Analytics and set it up as a Goal?? I am also using Tag Manager. But so far, I haven't been able to come up with any workaround to accomplish this.
Any ideas??
