is there any way, how to track transactions (revenue) based on video played? We have many videos on the site and it doesn't matter for us, which video was played.
I've tried to create a goal for all videos played and then somehow combine it with revenue, but this does not seem possible.
Thank you for help.

You can send event with Enhaned Ecomerce data that will include revenue also. The question is what will be the trigger for your video? You can send EE event when a user clicks on Play button, or when he reaches half of the video or something else

We are having an issue with our tracking on www.x3tradesmen.com where a Google Tag Manager tag is firing way too many times and we cannot determine why...
We only have one website event tag linked to Google Analytics called Form Submit and typically we would receive between 2-10 Form Submit events per day at the most, however, recently we have noticed that the tag is firing 1000's of times sporadically and we cannot pinpoint the issue. We have also noticed that our users have drastically increased for short time periods (minutes/hours). We typically only get 40-80 users per day on our website but we saw a massive spike of around 400 users in less than one hour once.
We recently added the facebook pixel via GTM and that is really the only change that we have made and now we are seeing these issues. Does anyone know of any common reasons to why this would be behaving this way or can anyone see any major issues with our implementation of GA or GTM on our website that would cause this?
I know this information is vague, so please let me know if there is specific information that would help identify the issue.
Thanks in advance!

I presume it is the FB pixel - Facebook automatically collects information in addition to what you have configured yourself and uses post/submit events to send them. You can disable that behaviour as per documentation and see if it makes a difference:
Automatic Configuration
The Facebook pixel will send button click and
page metadata (such as data structured according to Opengraph or
Schema.org formats) from your website to improve your ads delivery and
measurement and automate your pixel setup. To configure the Facebook
Pixel to not send this additional information, in the Facebook Pixel
Base code, add fbq('set', 'autoConfig', 'false', '')
above the init call.
I had a similar issue where suddenly additional submit events turned up in the GTM preview pane that I finally tracked down to FB, so there is a good chance that yours is the same problem.
I'm trying to find a way to track "paid traffic" from Youtube, ie. people who click on one of our ads, got redirected to one of our videos, then clicked on a link in the comment section. At the moment everybody coming from Youtube appears under the Youtube channel in our analytics.
Yet, inside Youtube Analytics, I can see that 90% of people watching specific videos come from paid traffic.
I tried to see if I could get any possible information from the youtube APIs but it looks like nothing is useful, event to determine how could be the split between paid/unpaid traffic.
Also, impossible to find a split by video.. except in GA. Therefore, no possible link?!
1/ Is it possible to link paid traffic internal to Youtube and part of the "youtube" channel traffic in GA? data-wise or just mathematically?
2/ Is there a way to hadve an idea or approximate the convertion rate?
PS: I know this should not be seen a pure conversion channel*
To answer your questions:
1. Is it possible to link paid traffic internal to YouTube and part of the "YouTube" channel traffic in Google Analytics? data-wise or just mathematically?
As far as I know, yes it is possible. In fact, there's no better way to analyze your new brand channel layout than integrating it with Google Analytics. Reasons as given:
The main difference between YouTube analytics and Google Analytics is that the former provides data about the videos, while the latter provide data about the visitors of the channel’s pages.
To use this feature, please refer to the steps given in How to integrate your YouTube One brand channel with Google Analytics
2. Is there a way to have an idea or approximate the conversion rate?
I tried looking for documentation on conversion rate but it seems that this doesn't exist as also mentioned in Conversion rate between YouTube views and track sales
And, as suggested in Google AdWords Help, in tracking viewer conversions for video ads,
Since video advertising doesn’t always drive immediate conversions, we recommend that you look at view-through conversion data, which shows the number of online conversions that happened within 30 days after a viewer saw, but did not click, your video ad.
I hope that helps.
I'm fighting with analytics to make this working.
I've settled a goal, and I would like to know the session duration for those who reach this goal.
Any ideas?
You should create a segment where you only select the people who have completed the goal.
Then you will be able to analyse how long people who complete the goal stay on the site, how many pages they view, where they are coming from.
Checkout this page from Google on creating segments:

or watch this video:

I want to display with a widget in Google Analytics after which amount of seconds users are clicking a link.
How many users and click on external links is already tracked with the google tag manager.
I know it is possible, but I don't know how. I saw it in a video (https://gyazo.com/ea04edaf30af80611e5eabeff4f0b89a) but can't finde a solution.
Maybe someone has an idea how to do it?
Thank you very much!
You can create in Google Tag Manager a javascript custom variable to measure time and use that value when sending the clic on external link or event you already have.
Take a look to this article with the javascript example
can any help?
Currently I have page with an image loading. Every time the image loads I write to a database:
Count = Count +1
I have tested my code by refreshing my page and the image count works correctly (going up by one each time).
Currently the count for this month is over 60,000, however in Google Analytics on that page it shows the pageview as 1800 and the unique pageview even less.
Has anyone any idea why the numbers are so far apart from my count and Google pageview.
How does Google calculate it's pageviews? Are spiders the issue?
Thanks
Google Analytics records data using an image request sent via Javascript -- meaning most bots/spiders won't show up.
I'd suggest taking at look at your server logs. Each image request you're tracking should have a corresponding page request. Maybe your image is being hotlinked?
