I'm a Google News publisher and I use Google Analytics to track my traffic.
Today I see hits to an external URL (Googlee News) in my stats
I have no clue where is this coming from. Any idea?

I have a website and its booking engine (2 different domains) at work and visitors land on the website and then proceed to the booking engine.
I have installed Google Analytics correctly to measure conversions that take place in the booking engine domain. Everything getting recorded correctly in Google Analytics account.
We recently launch Google Ads campaign and I saw that there is another parameter named '_gl' needed to append to the booking engine URL when a visitor proceeds to the booking engine via the website for correct cross domain tracking (probably to avoid Safari tracking prevention).
Just wanted to know, how important this _gl parameter for cross domain tracking since I already have correct Google Analytics setup in place and have linked Google Analytics and Ads accounts.
Thank you!
The parameter you mention is very important in order to correctly track users between two domains, otherwise GA cannot link the same user when they browse from one domain to another.

that means, how can i track information of each youtube channel's url through google analytics?
Can i track by google analytics?
Please help me to solve this problem.
Any suggestion is really appreciable.
You can track YouTube channel using Google Analytics if you are owner of channel.
In any case you can use UTM tags for tracking traffic from YouTube channels.
I have to track clicks on shortened URLs (to external resources that are not my) in a social network posts. Is it possible to integrate Google URL shortener statistics into Google Analitics to get all in one place reports?
As I understood, using Google Analytics, I can create a tracking code that I can embed into any application of website. However, is it receive a specific URL that is used for tracking the whole application in order for me to whitelist the traffic with my ISP so that I can charge the traffic for FREE for that specific URL - rather than whitelist the traffic of all google analytics (Which the ISP cannot do due to the heavy traffic generated by it) ?
You do not need to whitelist any traffic from your ISP. GA tracking works by collecting data from visitors to your site and has nothing to do with all other traffic on sites hosted by your ISP. As long as you have your tracking code on all of your own pages, then your site traffic will be tracked.
Is there any way to determine how many users visited my site via ads of my site posted on other websites?
By default these will show up as referrals in the channel and all traffic reports. To get more granularity you'd have to use campaign parameters in your ads url. You can create properly tagged url via Googles url builder which has some documentation on the various parameters.
