Hi Bryan,
Not every 10 second but i am looking alert for every 1hour, so if any thing wrong my programmer did so i will be in loss of 1 hour sales, traffic etc.
Hope you got my point.

You say you'd "get the alert and take the action"; what action are you talking about?
Taking any action based on real-time data is a very bad idea. That's the point of having data that corresponds to periods of time like days, weeks, and months - you shouldn't make decisions based on what happens within a 10-second period. If I have a website that gets 1,000 users a day, there are likely periods of time, maybe even whole minutes, where I don't have a single user. That doesn't mean I should take any sort of action based on that one minute. Everything fluctuates, which is why looking at bigger chunks of time will yield much more worthwhile results.

Any help please? Real time alert very important for me.

Hi Bryan,
There are many purpose, if my sales, traffic, bounce rate, exit ratio etc goes below the average during the day how will i know? So if we have set the alert then will get the alert instantly and take the action? Currently in google analytic we can set alert for previous day, Same day in the previous week, Same day in the previous year but what about the current day if sales, traffic etc go below average?
So that is the purpose i want alert.
Can you help me now? I will be thankful to you.
Regards,
Mit

While I normally try not to answer a question with a question; for what purpose do you want an alert for real-time visitors?

We have a client that wants to apply UTM URL tagging to track local organic traffic in Google Analytics. Is there any benefit in doing this?
One of our clients requested that we apply UTM URL tagging to better track organic traffic in Google Analytics. We found this to be an odd request because we are most familiar with UTM tracking for special campaigns (referral tracking, PPC, email tracking, etc). Is there any benefit of applying UTM tags to urls to analyze local organic traffic in Google Analytics? Are there any resources out there about this? Thanks!

Google Tag Manager chrome plugin to diagnose Analytics issues
Hi I've just used Google Tag Manager chrome plugin to look at possible analytics issues on a clients site and it has reported that its Analytics ID is being tracked twice. 1 is Universal and the other is Universal Asynchronous And when i click the question mark next to the 'Where to Optimise' info in GTM this page is displayed with teh following info highlighted: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/asyncMigrationExamples ga.js is a legacy library. If you are starting a new implementation we recommend you use the latest version of this library, analytics.js. For exisiting implementations, learn how to migrate from ga.js to analytics.js. Since both versions seem to be on there surely i dont need to migrate but just delete the old non-asynchronous version ? Or do i need do anything else or additional ? All Best Dan

How do I track a primary domain and a subdomain as single site in Google Analytics?
Our website consists of a primary domain (marketing focused) and subdomain (ecommerce platform). The two sites look and function as one site even though they are using different technology. I would like to track the primary domain (example.com) and the subdomain (shop.example.com) as a single site in Google Analytics. The subdomain will be set up with GA ecommerce tracking as well. Can someone provide an example of the GA snippet that each would need?

Does Google encryption of keyword data impact SEO revenue reporting in Google analytics?
Hi there, I know Google has been encrypting SEO keyword data which they rolled out in September 2013. My question is - will this impact SEO revenue figures reported in Google analytics? I have been monitoring SEO revenue figures for a client and they are significantly down even though rankings have not lowered. Is this because of Google's encryption? Could there be another reason? Many thanks!
