Google Analytics code always reports page name as being "$A" - google-analytics

Question

I have some code (below) that I'm using to track pageviews on Google Analytics. In Google Analytics, all pages end up having the name "$A".
I can't seem to find anyone who has had the same issue and I can't see what I'm doing wrong:
<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXX-X']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
</script>
<script src="/__utm.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Answer 1

It sounds like, rather than there being a problem with the tracking code, that the problem is actually with a filter configured for your account.
Specifically, $A makes it sound like you have an improperly configured Reyes based filter that, rather than outputting the regex match, is instead outputting the string "$A", which is meaningless unless you're properly using RegEx.
Can you post detailed information about the profile? In any case, you shouldn.t be filtering on a main profile, since filters cannot be undone, so any configuration errors on your main profile will result in permanently lost data.
My recommendation is to totally remove the filters in pladce, duplicate the profile and apply your desired filters against the duplicate, to mitigate potential data loss problems like this.
