About a month ago, we had a Wordpress site that went down due to a billing issue with hosting. They had to restore via backup. Since then there has been no Paid Traffic showing in our Analytics, although UA is tracking. We get most of our traffic via Adwords. I have tried everything I can think of and still can't get it to work! Some details:
We use Tag Manager (there were no edits in there prior to this event)
The only edit to the site was made when we switched from Tag Manager to straight UA script (post event), which didn't work either so we switched it back
Yes, the Analytics and Adwords accounts are linked properly
We tried adding UTM strings to the destination URLs
We tried turning off auto-tagging in Adwords
We tried turning off auto-tagging and then adding UTM
We tried setting up a brand new Analytics account
Finally, we moved the site onto a different host
NOTHING has worked. I have checked everything I can check. Is it a code issue?? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Try Google Tag Assistant - https://get.google.com/tagassistant/ You can use this tool to watch your tags and see if they fire properly, and what data they send.

After using Goole Tag Manager from Goole Analystics it starts to collect the visitor info from other domains that even don't have the tag. These domains share same IP address but it shouldn't be the problem I guess. Any idea?
There can be many problems. Lets look at it:
do you manage the other pages?
is it possible you accidentally deployed the tag to this domains?
is it possible that you maybe accidently didnt change the UA-ID in
the tag you deployed?
check them with Google Tag Assistant extension installed and enabled
in Google Chrome for Google Tag Manager tag, its really on the page? see 3) with what UA-ID?
is there maybe standard Google Analytics tracking left on the other
domains?
Let me know I would like to dig into your problem and help it fix it. It really looks like some previous tag was forgotten on the other domains. There is no way how domain without any tag could appear in your GA, except of course the traffic spam bots, which can be filtered.
In that case refer to this page http://help.analyticsedge.com/spam-filter/definitive-guide-to-removing-google-analytics-spam/ which is kept up to date. Especially focus on Valid Hostname filter, but be careful with the deployment. Always preview, debug and test, before putting in into your main view in GA.
Having an issue with a Meteor project when it comes to analytics. I've added the gorillastack:iron-router-gtm package to the project, and inside the site everything seems to be working alright. It's when we try to track incoming traffic, we run into issues.
When using UTM codes (source, medium, campaign, etc.) and auto-tagging, tracking parameters are not recorded in Google Analytics.
Google Analytics is bucketing paid search traffic under "organic" or "direct" instead of "cpc".
Is there anything else I need to do with Meteor to fix this issue, or are there setting inside of GA I need to change?
Here's what I did,
Installed Google Analytics by MonsterInsighs plugin on WordPress
site.
Authenticated and Connected the plugin to use corresponding Google
Analytics Property
I have not manually inserted any tracking code on my site. I am under the impression that the tracking code insertion is (and should be) the task of MonsterInsights plugin. With that strong supposition, I cleared the cache on Site CDN and Site Server to check if the tracking code is inserted. The three verification methods I used are;
Verification through Google Tag Assistant Chrome Plugin
Verification through Google Analytics Debugger Chrome Plugin
Manual Verification by Viewing Page Source
Ther are no errors in the plugin page. None of the methods have indicated the presence of tracking code. You can have a look yourself at https://techmars.org
PS: All of these activities are very recent i.e. It has just been an hour. Does it usually take some waiting? I haven't encountered such a prerequisite anywhere.
MonsterInsights automatically adds the tracking script. It appears to have done so on your site. The only time it would require waiting is if you were to use some sort of page caching that needs to clear for new frontend output tags to show.
I am trying to add google analytics to a project that is located under a subdomain. The subdomain has been was pointed to my my project by the domain owner, so I do not have access to the domain itself.
When I add the tracking code the status (shown under Property > Tracking Info)
Status: Tracking Not Installed
Last checked: 04-Jan-2014 00:00:05 PST
The Google Analytics tracking code has not been detected on your
website's home page. For Analytics to function, you or your web
administrator must add the code to each page of your website.
Is there any way to verify the tracking code is installed on the subdomain without having to access the domain root?
Although the tracking status is uninstalled, I am getting activity in Standard Reports > Realtime.
Does this mean that it is working despite the status report?
Am I likely to get correct tracking information with this setup?
You do not need access to the root domain and if the realtime statistics track traffic then most likely your GA setup works correctly. Most likey you did not implement the code at the place in the source code where Google expects it (which usually works but is still flagged as an error in verification).
If you use Google Chrome as browser you can additionally use two nice extensions to verify that your setup is correct:
Google Tag Assistant - verifys various Google Tags without mch detail
Google Analytics Debugger - provides some detail which data is sent to google, which plugins (e.g. ecommerce) are loaded by the analytics code etc.
I see this problem pop up in a lot of places and asking on Google's product support forums was no help at all, so I turn to you guys. My client has asked me to look into this problem with their In-Page Analytics reporting which turns up the errors:
Your site doesn't load ga.js from Google. If you host the Google
tracking code on your own servers, it isn't updated automatically and
can miss important changes.
We didn't find a tracking snippet on your site. In-Page Analytics
cannot load. Please make sure you have tracking installed correctly.
If your snippet is included in a separate JavaScript file, you'll
have to manually check it is being loaded correctly.
Both of these statements are false. To ensure that it wasn't my original setup that was the problem I installed Yoast's GA plugin (it's a wordpress site) and I still get this error. I've also confirmed that the tracking ID is correct. All other metrics are being reported in GA. This in-page section, however, is the problem.
This is the website, by the way. Any help you have to offer would be greatly appreciated.
