GA Stopped Recording Visits?
-
Looking at my GA stats today for one of my projects and its reporting 0 visitors in the audience overview yesterday - I know for a fact this is incorrect, using the real time viewer I tracked at least 40 people on the site yesterday in the few times I checked.
It is also saying 0 visitors today but from real time I can see solid activity all morning.
The code is all still present and correct on the page (which you would assume given real time still works), anyone else having weird issues today? It is only effecting 1 of 12 projects.

All my data's back! Looks like Google have sorted it out

good shout. I'm glad im not the only one - it means I dont have to worry I've done something daft!

Turns out you're not the only one, seeing lots of buzz around Twitter and also some reports in their forums: http://www.seroundtable.com/google-analytics-reporting-bug-17161.html obviously a bug in GA itself.

Hi Martijn,
Thanks for your response - this makes me feel much better, thank you! Roll on juicy data tomorrow.

Hi,
I've experienced this a couple of times for one of our sites the last couple of months. Sometimes it happens that there is a huge delay in the data processed by Google Analytics which may result in seeing your visitor data a couple of hours late. We saw the same behaviour as you did, in real time there were visitors but after 12 hours they were still not reported in the reports itself. If this problem still exists tomorrow then I would really start to worry ;-).
Hope this helps!

Disabling Hubspot AMP plugin - impact on GA
Hello, all!
Reporting & Analytics | | SimpleSearch
What impact have you seen if you've used the Hubspot AMP plugin and then disabled it?
We saw a big jump in sessions, which is weird because GA was tracking AMP pages. I'm trying to wrap my head around why this is happening but my brain isn't working 🙂0 -
Connect AMP to the same website GA property or not
Hi, Asking this on behalf of a client:"I know Google recommends setting up a separate GA property for AMP which they note in a few places:https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/amp-analytics/https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6343176?hl=en
Reporting & Analytics | | MediaCause
From what we can tell this is because the tracking for AMP will measure things differently than the current analytics.js library. I also think it's related to the GA cookie and how it's set differently for AMP pages.But won't this cause drop-off in user journey information? For example, if a user views an AMP blog article but then clicks to our site from a link within the article. I think we would then track this as two separate users and the pages/visit would be off. I found this article which explains a tech way to connect AMP to the same website GA property but it seems a little too much of a work-around:https://www.simoahava.com/analytics/google-analytics-client-id-amp-pages/ Do you think we should just do what Google recommends and set up AMP as a separate property in GA?" --> Does anyone know if there could be any issues with this workaround?Thanks,0 -
Huge Analytics discrepancy when I turned off Analytics Module & Turned on GA via GTM
Hello, I was running universal GA via a GA Drupal module. We setup Google Tag Manager and setup a GA tag to run through GTM. When we pushed the GTM container live our Real Time was at around 1900 and when we turned off the Drupal module the Real Time was reporting around 1100. After 24 hours the sessions for that day were about 100k lower than what they usually are. Any ideas Why the larger discrepancy? Any places that are obvious to look? *I didn't setup the original Drupal GA module, nor do I know who did. Thanks

Complete loss of Organic visits within Google Analytics??
Hey guys, I have a pressing query that's really puzzled me! I've just been going through Google Analytics and noticed that there has been a complete drop off of all my organic visitors from May 7. All other traffic mediums are unaffected so there is no issue with the Analytics code recording visits. I haven't received any penalty and my rankings have actually improved in the last month. This is proper bizarre. Any ideas? MjLmL70.png

Webmaster Tools Records
Hey, I'm trying to find a way of getting data from Googles Webmaster Tools and recording it in either a database or spread sheet. Is there any software out there that I can use to do this or would i have to look at developing it my self? Thanks, Luke.

Confirmation page gets hit multiple times by some users. How I can I segment out unique visits?
Hi All, I'm web marketing manager at http://www.evenues.com which is like an AirBnB for meeting space. When calculating the number of bookings for our meeting spaces, I've set up a goal in analytics with the confirmation page as the goal URL. The problem is, it seems that some users are looking at the same confirmation page several times. We have unique URLs for each confirmation page, but some users seem to be visiting these unique pages more than 2 to 5 times. This skews our numbers a bit. This makes things a bit problematic when it comes to segmenting visitors. is there anything we can so that each unique URL visited only counts once? Thanks, Kenji
