Text of the page (random words):
er the standard table filter will not take a regular expression so you need to use the advanced filter this field will take a max of 20 characters but you can add up to 50 conditions to your filter to be honest creating large complicated regular expressions in google analytics is not scalable while you can use it for a quick ad hoc analysis i would look for a more permanent solution what about using the product category dimensions rather than the product id it obviously depends on if you are setting the product category but it would totally work google analytics product performance by category with a source medium secondary dimension another option might be using a page level custom variable to group your products together into groups then use the custom variable in the product performance report it will require some coding but if you are looking to do this type of analysis a lot it may be worthwhile cross domain tracking question from rasmus sellberg justin we re about to cross domain track a very short and good domain name with multiple subdomains e g www xx yy forum xx yy and so on we use _setdomainname xx yy and it works like a charm on all browsers but ie unfortunately ie does not allow cookies on short domains on the form xx yy to avoid security issues on all co uk sites for instance no data at all is recorded for ie browsers if we use _setdomainname www xx yy the cookies aren t available on forum xx yy and vice versa what should we do given that neither using _link everywhere nor changing the domain name is an option any best practices for really short domain names thanks rasmus justin s answer thanks for the question rasmus yes this is a known issue and unfortunately there is no good solution it s a limitation of internet explorer insert snarky comment here unfortunately you don t have many options you can use _link on all of the urls and if it s a big site you may want to use some type of jquery auto tagging script or the other solution is to move the sub domain content to subdirectories on the main domain this may be very hard to do but at least you avoid all the javascript coding i also want to mention that the google analytics team is working on a new solution to cross domain tracking that will solve this problem it will also make cross domain tracking better for the entire world adwords metrics question from ties com when viewing our adwords campaign data in google analytics our advertising cost metric is reporting correctly but when we try to create a custom keyword level report in ga the cost metric is all zeros are we unable to track adwords cost data at the keyword level in ga justin s answer thanks for the question you should be able to use adwords metrics like cost ctr and cpc in ga custom reports i ve done it as recently as today but cost metrics can only work with a few dimensions mostly the adwords related dimensions if you are trying to use any dimensions that are not adwords dimensions you might get all zeros adsense question from reid simonton i may be a bit late but have to ask as this is an issue i ve been struggling with for 2 years linking our adsense account to our analytics account i understand the process however here s what i actually see 1 go to content adsense overview in ga see this report requires adsense to be enabled for this profile hmm i ve already done that 2 but i ll try again click the link provided there for the instructions instructions state open either the overview or advanced reports page and find the link that invites you to integrate your accounts but there is no such link in the adsense panel presumably because i ve previously gone through this step instead i see a link in the upper right corner of adsense stating view performance in google analytics would seem to indicate the accounts are linked right 3 click that link it takes me to my analytics home page showing my two profiles i go into the one i ve attempted previously tried to link w adsense and repeat step 1 above something s clearly broken been trying to resolve this for years have posted bunches of forum posts etc but no luck incredibly frustrating any assistance would be enormously appreciated thanks justin s answer thanks for the question reid i ve seen that problem before an infinite loop and it can be frustrating 1 log into ga make sure you log in with the same account that you use to access adsense 2 go to the admin section 3 click on the data sources tab for your account and look for the adsense section 4 click on the link account button you should get a little window that asks which account and profiles you want to apply your adsense data to connecting google adsense and google analytics the adsense code and analytics code must be installed on all the same pages if you do not have the google analytics tracking code on all pages that have the adsense code page impressions and clicks cannot be accurately recorded adwords auto tagging question from steven nguyen justin i have 2 questions on about analytics 1 i have autotagging set up and someone wants to add parameters to the ad as well would the new parameters override the autotagging or mess up the reporting in anyway 2 i want to track lead submissions sign ups etc but it does not redirect you to a thank you page after you complete the action a dialog box pops up i want to use a destination goal but the dialog box does not change urls is there a way to track it as a goal without adding a thank you page if you could help that would be great thanks steven justin s answer thanks for the questions steven question 1 no adwords auto tagging will work with your existing parameters the google analytics auto tagging parameter named gclid will play nice with your existing query parameters question 2 yes there are ways to work around a thank you page that does not have a unique url i m going to make the assumption that when someone submits a form the page does change it s just the url that stays the same in this scenario you have a couple of options choose the one that works best for you you can use an event to track this new window and then set that event up as a goal an event is a way to track visitor interactions with your site you ll need to add some additional javascript to track when the window pops open it might look something like this _gaq push _trackevent goals submit form lead form 100 in the above code the value of 100 is the value of the lead form that s something that i arbitrarily chose but if you can do some lead scoring and enter that data into the code then you ll get some amazing revenue metrics in google analytics once you have the code on your site you can use the event data to your goal for the above event the goal settings would be something like this setting up an event as a google analytics goal thanks everyone those were great what a variety of questions stay tuned we ll do this again next month be sure to circle google analytics on google to find out when you can ask a question posted by google analytics advocate justin cutroni tracking adjusted bounce rate in google analytics july 25 2012 there is a way to track this bounce rate in google analytics is one of the key metrics that helps to evaluate the quality of your traffic bounce happens when the visitor exited the website right from the landing page without going to any other page this is a great indication on how relevant the content was for the user and how engaged they were with your website while working perfect for most websites there are categories of sites where this metric is not enough imagine you re promoting a blog post that describes all the benefits of your company the visitor might read the whole post and remember your company and products really well they might even go to search for your product on one of the search engines straight away however since the visitor only looked at 1 page exactly where the blog post is they will be recorded as bounced visitor another example if you have a description of the product right on the landing page and your phone number on the same page the visitor might study the description and
