Whether this code is fine to implement for UA to track hashchange Urls:
ga ('send', 'pageview', {
'page': location.pathname+location.search+location.hash,
'title': location.pathname+location.search+location.hash});
How many pageview requests it would record in GA everytime the event fire?
Every time that line of code executes, one Google Analytics Pageview will fire. See here for more details on Pageview tracking.
Also, this Chrome extension might be helpful. It prints info on any Google Analytics hits sent to the JS console.

have you had this problem with GA?
The Landing Pages report has a (not set) entry.
A pageview hit must precede event hits in order for the event hits to include the page that they fire from. When event hits aren't preceded by a pageview, Google Analytics doesn't have the page for the event hits, so their page is (not set).
Verify that tracking code for property SITE sends a pageview hit before sending any events.
Google Tag Assistant Recordings can help you verify that your hits are sent in the correct order.
Any suggestions would be great please. Thanks
I need to track userid and currentTime using Google Analytics.
Google Analytics does not offers user PII data.So I am doing following steps-
Step1-
In Order to do that I created 2 new dimention by the google analytics admin panel in under the property section for hits.
Admin->Property->CustumDefinetion->CustomDimention->AddNew
Step2- Than I changed my script by ajax call and added this data in GoogleAnalytics Script in the page which I am tracking
ga('create', 'UA-57411451-1',{'userId':customUserId });
ga('set', 'dimension1', customUserId);
ga('set', 'dimension2', entryTime);
Step3- Now I am sending GET request to GoogleAnalytics using ga-dev-tool.
Result- This is not giving me any data.May be there are very less user on the current page.
Questions-
Am I missing any thing or Is there any better approach for same.
How much delay GoogleAnalytics causes in reflecting data.
Below is the screenshot of google analytics ga-dev-tool result.
Is it possible in Google Analytics to see how much traffic your site sends to another site, if you don't have Google Analytics access to the other site?
If not, what would it require?
Many thanks,
Claus
You'd be best off setting up an event when the user clicks on your link to the other website.
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/events#outbound_link_and_form_tracking
You could execute a function to deliver that specific information to Google via the event function. For example, this function:
function setAnalytic() {
ga('send', {
hitType: 'event',
eventCategory: 'External_Link',
eventAction: 'User_Click',
eventLabel: 'Redirect to XYZ'
});
}
Would result in seeing the following in the events section of your analytics results:
See this page for delivering event information to Google Analytics:

I opened Firefox console and run this:
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Videos', 'Play', 'Gone With the Wind']);
Event is tracked and is inside google analytics, but when I run this inside console it didn't showed any ajax request. How is this possible? How does google analytics send event tracking data to their server? Does it impact site performance if there is too many events?
We've implemented Event Tracking code that runs for a while now (more than a week), but we don't see any events in the Events reporting page.
I've tested with Google Analytics Debugger chrome extension, which recognizes the event and claims it's error-less. This means the event is sent to google.
Additional info that might help - we're using virtual page when calling to _trackPageview (and this is the only call to _trackPageview we have).
Initialization example: _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/v/user/store/catalog'])
An example of an event: _gaq.push(['_trackEvent','LinkToProduct','CatalogProductbox','3',0,false])
What can I do to debug this further or solve it?
Double check that the correct Account ID is on the _trackEvent call via the Google Analytics Debugger. The Account ID is passed via the utmac parameter.
Are there any filters on the Analytics Profile that might be keeping event data from being recorded?
Are you seeing pageviews for your virtual page /v/user/store/catalog?
