I'm having trouble with google analytics e-commerce report: I see that about one-third of transactions are not tracked including my personal orders. I use ga_debugger to find the problem. In ga_debugger console, it is reported that:
"Aborting cookie write: User has opted out of tracking".
I just have no idea about this report. Any suggestion would be helpful.
It means the visitor opted out of being tracked. Read the Google Analytics Privacy Policy for details on how visitors can do this, particularly the Privacy Controls section.
Check to see if the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on is enabled.
In Chrome, go to Settings... , Extensions...
If you see this Add-on, uncheck the Enabled box or remove the Add-on entirely.

I've just replaced my google analytics tag with a Google Tag manager installation integrated into GA. When I inspect my page with Google Tag assistant I see the installation of tag manager and 2 GA tags, is this correct?
I only have 1 GA property setup, is there a reason I'm seeing a second one?
There are many third-party widgets or plugins such as comment boxes or forms that use Google Analytics to track user interaction with their plugin. Considering the fact that the two Google Analytics Id's are from different accounts, this seems like a plausible reason.
To check this, copy the GA Id in question, view the page source, and search, (cmd+F) for the Id in the code. If this is the reason, the GA code will likely be embedded with the widget's code.
I'm trying to find a web site/resource that has a working demo of Google Analytics to use.
As I have no website etc to be able to link my Analytics account to, I have no way of reviewing/learning to use Google Analytics.
Is anyone aware of such a demo available to the public?
Are you're asking for is a site where you can see GA working?
Years ago I set up 3 unusual but extremely effective GA learning sites mainly for myself (so they are crude).
I still use 2 of them today with Real Time reporting and Chrome extensions dataSlayer & WASP.
They accept your own Web Property ID (UA-xxxxx.yy) and save it in a cookie so the data goes into your own account.
Captures data to be sent to GA.
It's currently at http://cyclonal.com.
It still uses Classic GA (_gaq) - any offers to upgrade it to Universal gladly accepted
I also cloned a site used by the GA Dev team's (with permission)
It tested almost every feature of GA at the time.
Which is at http://cyclonal.com/g (has a history of the site link in the footer)
Finally, and probably what you may want to clone/create yourself, is a free form version of the concepts behind the above sites at http://cyclonal.com/sandbox/codeExec
Let me know if that works for you.
Google team released a Google Analytics demo account: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6367342?hl=en#access You can start "playing" with this account to get familiarized with google analytics api!
I'm trying to upgrade my google analytics account to universal analytics. In the admin-panel in google analytics there is suppose to be a button in the property–column, but there isn't. When I'm looking at the tracking code, it suggests that I use ga.js, suggesting that I still use the old version of google analytics. Why is this?
Could be that they haven't enabled it for your account, or you have doubleclick support enabled on your profile -- if that is checked, then you won't see the Upgrade.
Do you have a premium account? Google Analytics doesn't support the new tracking on premium accounts.

I've just recently encountered this issue. It seems as though today they've made it available and taken it out of beta. Try logging into your Account> Property >Admin and you should see the option to begin the transfer.
I am using google analytics on my web site. I would like to see the traffic/counts of people coming from a specific domain. How I can set this up in google analytics? For example, my site is wwww.foo.com. I would like to know how many people are landing on my site from www.bar.com (or get referred from www.bar.com). Would be very helpful if someone was able to share steps to set this up in google analytics.
Thanks so much -
In the "Standard Reports" section of your reports homepage, you can go to
Traffic Sources > Sources > Referrals
Then on the right, just above the metrics is a search field. Just type in "www.bar.com" and click the spyglass icon.
Is good to place google analytics in pages like admistration, article edit page, ... ?
The reason why I use Google Analytics is to give important information to my clients about how their websites are being used. Because of that I wouldnt include the admin area of the website because it doesnt affect their sales or conversions.
By adding code into the admin zone you are inflating the total pageviews. If you really want to track this information then its not a disaster, you would just need to be sure to setup a profile which filters out these urls when making business decisions with your Analytics info.
Technically I think to use Google Analytics it is supposed to be on a free, public website but I guess having some of the pages locked isnt going to get your account closed.
Yes, it keeps stats on how often you or others use admin features. I also suggest that you use Google webmaster tools on them too.
