I set a goal as a contact page for Google Analytics but so its not pulling any date in
for example, the contact page is
wordpress/index.php/contact/
the thank you page is
wordpress/index.php/contact-thank-page/
when I enter the goal destination as
/contact-thank-page/
it is not pulling in the goal when I test it.
Any reason why?
It can take up to 24h before the data shows in the Google Analytics Conversions Report.
Have you checked in the Real-Time Report -> Conversions directly after visiting the /contact-thank-page/? Or maybe you've filtered out your own IP?

Our email marketer is sending email from GetResponse with a tracking code generated from another tool,
but we can't see if the users are coming from the email source.
Is it possible, because it is with tracking code generated from other tool, GA to mark it as direct traffic and is there a way to know it is coming from the email campaign? Also, I am not sure it is tracking it at all, becouse I don't see much traffic in the landing page. The GA is fired, I checked!
The tracking code includes the main domain and it redirects to a specific page.
Example: tracking.ourdomain.com/aff_c?offer_id=46&aff_id=76
You have to check in Landing Pages report (or All pages report), filtering by aff_id, if there are any sessions.
To track in correct mode the source you have to use UTMs parameters. You can build your URL with UTM parameters using this tool. It allows you to easily add campaign parameters to URLs so you can track Custom Campaigns in Google Analytics. Then you can find those sessions in source / medium report.
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.
I've been looking into offline tracking of google analytics goals. I want to implement this in a similar way to how call tracking companies do and I'm guessing the GCLID is the answer.
If I store the GCLID of every visitor that comes to our website in the database alongside some info about their session and then identify their session at a later date as one that produced an offline goal, can I then generate a goal from that?
My thinking is that if I had a button in our CRM system that when I click it opens up an invisible iframe that links to mysite.com/goalurl.html?gclid=xxx then analytics on that page would track a goal on that page but attribute it to the original click that the other user made on our PPC advert. Theoretically I could do this 10 times in a row for 10 different sessions and they would all be tracked as if the 10 original owners of those GCLIDs has visited the goal page, right?
Am i missing something here? Would this not work because Google would spot that they all came from the same IP address, or because I would have the same GA cookie on my machine? Or does Gogole not care about any of that?
Any help would really be appreciated.
I am not sure if it works with the gclid but would also be interested in the answer.
Besides that, a possible solution is to store the Analytics client ID in your own database and, whenever there is a conversion, sending that conversion data (referencing the recorded client ID) directly from your server to Analytics by using the Measurement Protocol.
Exactly this topic is a case study in the book "Google Analytics Breakthrough: From Zero to Business Impact".
I need to catch from a website, the list of users (IDs from User Explorer) that has been entered each day, and all the report from each one (User Report)
I didn't see anything about it in the current API from Google Analytics. Someone knows how to get it?
I saw some questions but from more than 1 year ago, someone knows if there is now any new?
The only thing that I can do for now, is using the automatic report from Google Analytics via email, and send me a report each day with a list of Client IDs en CSV, but I need the report...
Thank you very much!
Capture the Google Analytics Client ID or user id in a custom dimension and hit timestamp. Then you can recreate the user explorer id report yourself using the Google Analytics Reporting API.
A client of mine is having some issues with regards to tracking campaigns in Google Analytics that I was hoping one of you can advise me on.
They have recently sent out an email with the Google Analytics campaign information in the links back to the site from a button in the email (link created with the URL builder).
As well as the Google Analytics information they also send their own parameter for tracking using a bespoke system of theirs. In the end the url that visitors would go to after clicking the button in the email was something along these lines:
http://www.domain.com/pagename/?bespokecampaign=lead_gen/email/email_btn/boxcampaign&utm_source=email_pure&utm_medium=email&utm_term=email_btn&utm_campaign=boxcampaign
Looking at Acquisitions in the Google Analytics report I can see in the past this page has been viewed and has the correct Source/Medium set as email_pure/email.
However, there was a lead gen form that was filled out on the site after landing on this particular page that sends an event action that the form was filled out. When trying to view the campaign information for these events I do not see any information regarding the Source / Medium for that event being the correct information from the URL.
The Salesforce model in place to receive these leads took the referrer URL correctly, containing the Google Analytics parameters, but there was no record in Analytics to suggest one of the form events had the Source/Medium of email_pure/email.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this and potential fixes?
