Analytics - Video Tracking
-
Hello,
As i've ended up confusing myself, I thought I would ask the moz community whether i'm on the correct track!
I'm wanting full GA tracking on individual videos from our destination URL.
In short I need the name of each video to have specific tracking.
Example;
Video 1 (Apples)
Video 2 (Oranges)
Video 3 (Pears)We need to be able to see the amount of plays per session, per video. As well as any extras if possible, such as;
Watched 25%, watched 50%, watched 75%, video complete, video paused.If the following script is used; https://github.com/sanderheilbron/vimeo.ga.js
As well as using the Google URL builder (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033867?hl=en-GB) , what would be the best way to set each video to see the statistics within Google Analytics, so I can see how many plays the 'Apples' video has had. I think it is the ordering of the 'event, campaign, label etc' which has confused me.
Many Thanks for any replies in advance, I appreciate it.

Hi Whittle,
So to be honest, I"m not quite sure what the issue is for you here. It should be working correctly - I assume you're using GTM to fire the universal analytics tags - are you just not happy with the way things are being displayed in GA? If so, I think the question you're asking needs me to have eyes on your site and analytics to be able to answer.
If that's something you can do, let me know.
Thanks,
Phil.

Any help on this would be fantastic. "Google Analytics on Steroids" doesn't work unfortunately, nor does the Sander Heilbron script.

Didn't work, unsure why I tried as surely it needs a script for it to run?
Thanks for replying though.

Here's what I would do. Go to GA and go to Behavior>Events>Top Events (Your videos should be placed here for tracking). You should see "customize" in the top left of the report. Go to Dimension Drilldown and remove the Event Category dimension and switch Event Action with Label. It should then read Event Label>Event Action. You can modify the filter so event category equals video.

Using Google Analytics for tracking statistics of the HOMEpage
Hello, Lets say I have a website with the HOMEpage being http://www.page.com. There are various subpages e.g. http://www.page.com/page1, http://www.page.com/page2, http://www.page.com/page3 . Now when I use Google Analytics it gives me all kind of statistics for the subpages shown as /page1 /page2 /page3 ... (relative path). According to this pattern the HOMEpage should be just "/". Unfortunately I can't find "/" in any statistics. Is this normal? Thanks in advance

Google Analytics
Hello In Google analytics you can obtain the number of visits as a result of non-paid search. You can also set up custom reports to find the number of organic searches. The numbers are different, so what is the obvious difference between these two metrics that I'm missing. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Neil
