set up dtm and analytics on a new website - google-analytics

I have a 3 page website. I want to know how many unique visitors visit each page of the website. That is how many unique visitors in page A, and from page how many reach page B and from page B how many reach page C.
I am unable to determine or understand how the eVars and success events will be set in this scenario.
Please help.

This can be accomplished quickly using the default path reports in Adobe Analytics.
This "out of the box" report will show you a "fall out" of visitors who started on page A went to page B and then on to page C. No eVars, props or events are needed for this.
The report will also show you the percentage of visitors who didn't complete the specified path as well.
Setting the page name with DTM will be helpful but is not required because the URL is used as the PN if it isn't set.
Hope this helps.

set up dtm and analytics on a new website - unique visitors

I have a 3 page website. I want to know how many unique visitors visit each page of the website. That is how many unique visitors in page A, and from page how many reach page B and from page B how many reach page C.
But, on page A, there is an option for Male and Female. I want to further know how many Male Unique Visitors and how many Female Unique Visitors visited on each page.
I am unable to determine or understand how the eVars and success events will be set in this scenario.
Please help.
If you're using DTM then you can use page load rules to see how many people hit each page. You can use a custom event that fires on page b if the referrer is page a or whatever combination you want. You can use an event based rule that fires when they submit their form (I'm guess you have some sort of form) that is collecting their gender. Gender would go into an evar, I'd also store the referrer in an eVar if you're interested in how people travel around your site and then use some metrics in the adobe dashboard to get the segments that you want.
Those are all very simple things to do. If you still are having issues, you should check out the forums or docs

Google Analytics Email Reports

I am now assigned to support GA reporting. The current email reports show the top 10 pages visited, but the total shows the full total page hits. So if you add up the top ten it does not come up to the total because it is missing page hits that do not belong to the top 10.
I am trying to modify the email reports so they show all page hits on all pages. I have googled and looked at the FAQ's in GA and can not seem to modify the reports. Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.
It sounds like your report is based off a dashboard rather than a generic google analytics report such as the report in Behavior > All Pages.
What you can do is schedule an email based off the Behavior > All Page report by going to that report and selecting the "Email" option.

Is it possible to see Visits (not views) of a certain page in Google Analytics?

I am looking to find the number of visitors that see a certain subdomain on my website. I can find total views and unique views but not visitors. I thought you could do this fairly easily in the old GA but having a hard time finding it now.
The easiest way to do this is to create a custom report.
I'll share an easy example I created: https://www.google.com/analytics/web/template?uid=ReBbGcwqToSJeP_TyfrhsA
Look at report tab 1 to see visits and pageviews to your different pages. If you click the "Unique" report tab, you can see which hostname initiated the request and how many unique visitors was seen during that time period.

How to track conversion funnel in Google Analytics where a banner ad is shown on many pages.

I have a website that features a call to action/promotion button on nearly all pages of the site.
I have currently configured a conversion funnel that shows me how many people arrive on the call to action page, and then how many people make it to successfully complete the action page.
What I want to see though is how many unique visitors over the reporting see the banner at the top of the funnel.
eg. Something like this:
Visitors accessing website: 1000
Visitors clicked on call to action page: 100
Visitors successfully submitted call to action form: 45
My initial thoughts was to do this using the frontpage only, but I forgot that this banner/call to action ad is featured on many pages around the website. Many people find the site through SEO and never even pass through the frontpage.
Is it possible to use a wildcard for a domain or something similar in Google Analytics? Or maybe I am approaching this the wrong way.
Last of all - I know I can accomplish this by pulling up 2 reports: site wide unique visitors and comparing that to how many people hit the first stage of the existing conversion funnel. But it's a hassle to have to do this regularly manually.
While using funnel analysis, it is normal to have funnel steps that represent more than 1 urls. Take the basic case of ecommerce sites, where the final goal maybe the same transaction completion page, but the funnel step corresponding to product page can be triggered by many different product pages and not just one.
Based on the page url structure of your website, you can choose any of the below 2 match types to add multiple urls to a single step:
1, Begins with : If all the different pages displaying the ad have a set of common characters in the beginning, then use this.
2, Regular Expression Match : If the different pages that contain your banner ad how totally unrelated url, then find a suitable regex that can capture all those urls

Google Analytics: Easy way to report on users who visit Page A and Page B in the same session?

I know about all the new GA reports like Visitor Flow, goal tracking, etc, but is there an easy way to track users visit PageA and PageB in the same session? I don't care what path they took or if one was an exit page or an entrance page. I simply want to know the amount of visitors who visited both PageA and PageB at some point in the session (even if they visited Page C, Page D, and Page E before, between, or after).
Can this be done in a Custom Report somehow, which would be preferable? If I need to use regular expressions that's fine as well. Or do I perhaps need to set up a filtered profile?
Thank you very much in advance!

You just create an Advanced Segment (click on "Advanced Segments" up on top under the "standard reports" tab, then on "create new segment" on the right).
The conditions for this segment:
include page 1
AND
include page 2
Done.
Link to Google's Advanced Segment Documentation
