Measuring events to external sites
-
Im having problem measuring click on ads by using events in GA or Jetpack. For example when I checked out yesterday this is what I read:
1. In GA events it says 12 clicks
2. In Jetpack it says 9 clicks
But when I look at Referrals to the actual site directly it says 18 clicks
Which one is the rights one? I need this because I use this to invoice clients end of month! and it cant be any "maybe".something.
cheers, R

No i have set this up just to test it so no other links. And I also wonder why there is this diffence between jetpack and GA events.

If GA says 12, I dont think it can be less then 12, so maybe anouther 6 came from somewhere else, anouth link maybe?

Does subdomain (or sub sub domain) affect analytics data of root site?
We self-host our public website, but over time have also added subdomains onto it that are not public and are for internal or even client portals. I am seeking advice as to whether those subdomains affect the analytics data (self referrals, visits, bounces) of the public site that I am tasked with analyzing. I feel that it does skew the data but need to build a solid case to move the public website to a new domain, so as to leave the existing one in tact with all of its subs.

Using Site Maps Correctly
Hello I'm looking to submit a sitemap for a post driven site with over 5000 pages. The site hasn't got a sitemap but it is indexed by google - will submitting a sitemap make a difference at this stage? Also, most free sitemap tools only go up to 5000 pages, and I'm thinking I would try a sitemap using a free version of the tool before I buy one - If my site is 5500 pages but I only submit a sitemap for 5000 (I have no control of which pages get included in the sitemap) would this have a negative effect for the pages that didn't get included? Thanks

Tracking Mailto Links Through Event Tracking
Hi I am trying to get event tracking working on some mailto links on a website using Universal Analytics. I've read various resources as nothing seems to mention mailto links. Does it not work on tracking outbound clicks on emails? Thanks in advance.

There is code on all external domain links but none seem to be firing. Inspect all the map links to view code ie. Search New Honda Inventory What am I missing? Thanks so much. -Caryn

Should we add the city to our keywords for a site that is only local?
This is one of those things I have done for a long time and all of a sudden asked myself was it necessary: For our local clients, we add the city name (Houston, KC, Birmingham) after each keyword. An example would be TestSite.com/big-tester-houston A Title Tag might be Big Tester Houston | Test Site, etc. Where appropriate we do the same with H1 or H2's and occasionally in the content we will use the city name. The thought being that since the site is only for a given city, it will be deemed more relevant than a site from outside.( I understand there are other factors in SEO; this is a specific question around adding the city). Yes, we also optimize with local directories/citation sites. Is this overkill, is it even worthwhile? Is there any evidence one way or another? I would love some strong opinions backed up with something other than anecdotal evidence where possible.

.com version and .org version of site
So i just discovered that a site I now managae has a .com version - as well as the .org version that is the one everyone knows about! I'm guessing this is not a good thing... So the whole site eg www.abc.org/example has a mirror page www.abc.com/example.... What should I do about this? Is it really bad to have 2 versions out there? Thanks!
