My GA code is on my site but Google Analytics isn't being pulled into SEOMoz...why?
-
The CEO wants me to present an SEO plan next week for three of our sites; however, I got this message when I went to campaign overview tab:
"It appears there's a problem with our connection to your Google Analytics account. Please go to your Settings page to update your connection."
I double-checked the GA code and it's the same on both our site and in SEOMoz...what gives?
I clicked on Choose Your GA Profile->Set GA Account and Profile then got this warning:
"Are you sure you want to change your Google Analytics connection? Changing your connection will reset our cache of your historical GA traffic data."
I need this data pronto so I can set strategy for three sites; any help would be greatly appreciated!

Nope, it will still be there. Glad I could help!

Abe,
Great, thanks for the fix! I was going to try that but, what about that mean warning I got:
"Are you sure you want to change your Google Analytics connection? Changing your connection will reset our cache of your historical GA traffic data."
If I do this, will it kill all our historical data? Will I lose the ability to look back at stuff?
Thanks,
Darrell

Thank you for reaching out to us! I am sorry that you are seeing a problem with your Google Analytics connections. Usually Roger fetches your traffic data with puppy-like enthusiasm, however sometimes there might be a delay between us and Google, so one way to alleviate that is to refresh that connection:
- Head to your campaign settings page on your overview page: http://screencast.com/t/je3mv5DkPbU
- Disconnect your Google Analytics connection: http://screencast.com/t/59NDMB0Ov
- Go back to your settings page and click on "connect account." Please make sure you log into the correct GA account.
- This should let you grab the most current traffic data!
I hope that helps, let me know if you have questions!
Have a great day,
Abe

Google Analytics Page Metrics and Redirects
Hi All- Context: A site has been redesigned. Pages were renamed in the process. Problem: It's very hard to compare before and after metrics because the page URLs are not the same. Question: Anyone know how to do this in Google Analytics? I'm hoping there's some simple trick I just don't know about. D

Is it possible to use Google Tag Manager to pass a user’s text input into a form field to Google analytics?
Hey Everyone, I finally figured out how to use auto event tracking with Google Tag Manager, but didn't get the data I wanted. I want to see what users are typing into the search field on my site (the URL structure of my site isn't set up properly to use GA's built-in site search tracking). So, I set up the form submit event tracking in Google Tag Manager and used the following as my event tracking parameters: Category: Search Action: Search Value When I test and look in Google Analytics I just see: "search" and "search value." I wanted to see the text that I searched on my site. Not just the Action and Category of the event.... Is what I'm trying to do even possible? Do I need to set up a different event tracking parameter? Thanks everyone!

Google Analytics for example.com and www.example.com
Hello. I have had a Google Analytics account set up to track the property www.example.com for several years. In Google Webmaster Tools, I recently set the preferred domain to example.com (without the www), and we put in a rewrite from www to no-www in the .htaccess file. Should I now change the url of the property in Google Analytics to example.com (without the www), or does Google Analytics see the two urls as the same? Thank you!

Most of our traffic is from Referring sites, and in referring sites, job sites are sending most of the traffic. How can we segment traffic from job sites. There are about 40 such sites. We would like to receive a report which shows traffic excluding from these job sites.
