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 and Webmaster Tools Setup for Agencies
Hi, As agencies, what are people finding to be the best practices for allowing multiple members of the agency's team to access client WMT and GA data? Have a generic "analytics@myagency.com" account that's used for the shares, that anyone in the agency can use as needed (limited, of course, not admin). Have the individual person at the company use their company email for the share for each particular client? employee@agency.com. Yet what happens when we need someone else to check the GA or WMT data? Any advice is much appreciated.

View entrance keyworsd for a subpage in google analytics
I have an element from ringcentral that is tracked by google analytics, yet for the life of me I cannot figure out to how to view the entrance keywords to that element. I can view the search metric and see which keywords and how many visits from each keyword onto the site in general, but how do I see which keywords were actually responsible for this 'click to call' code which has GA? I can see the total number of clicks into that code, but not which keywords led to it.

Setting up Analytics on a Site that Uses Frames For Some Content
I work with a real estate agent and he uses strings from another tool to populate the listings on his site. In an attempt to be able to track traffic to both the framed pages and the non-framed pages he has two sets of analytics code on his site - one inside the frame and one for the regular part of the site. (there's also a third that the company who hosts his site and provides all these other tools put on his site - but I don't think that's really important to this conversation). Not only is it confusing looking at the analytics data, his bounce rate is down right unmanageable. As soon as anyone clicks on any of the listings they've bounced away. Here's a page - all of those listings below " Here are the most recent Toronto Beaches Real Estate Listings" are part of a frame. http://eastendtorontohomes.com/toronto-beach-real-estate-search/ I'm not really sure what to do about it or how to deal with it? Anyone out there got any good advice? And just in case you're wondering there aren't any other options - apart from spending thousands to build his own database thingie. We've thought about that (as other agents in the city have done that), but just aren't sure it's worth it. And, quite frankly he doesn't want to spend the money.
