(not provided) in GA
-
Hello,
Google is displaying (not provided) for signed in users. Is there any workaround for this ? Any advanced segment by which can know more about such traffic ?
-
Just a quick question before I dive into this: does it still work as of almost 2014?
-
Hi,
The filter is working fine and (not provided ) is not being displayed now. Awesome !
Thanks a lot James for the link.
-
Yes I have seen an increase too by around 13 times (Oct vs Nov) on data for some accounts I work on not provided, so this GA hack is a nice little trick.
-
Thanks James. I have applied the filter and will see how it goes. After a couple of hours ( as the post says ) or tomorrow, i will be sharing the results right here.

Hadn't seen that, have a thumbs up
Is anybody actually seeing a large chunk of traffic coming in with not provided though?
I'm around 0.9% - 1% overall and 1.4% - 1.5% for English only sites.

The best one I have seen to date is from this blog:

Yet it does come with warnings and potential data loss.

Linked my adwords account to GA and vice versa and still paid search is getting recorded into organic traffic??
Hi Mozzers, I have linked properly my adwords account to GA and vice versa and somehow I can see 3/4 of this paid traffic recorded to organic search. The most confusing part is that I can see 1/4 of the paid traffic under the "paid" metric. At this point I don't know really what should I do? Thank you guys in advance!

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.

GA E-Commerce can't tell the real order source?
I put the e-commerce tracking code on the transaction platform (Regnow) finishing page, but all the orders displayed in GA can't tell the real order source. Instead, most of orders are from direct(none), and referrals from my site. So this is obviously wrong. I need the accurate order source such as google organic or google ppc, then I can find which keyword brings me orders. After some searches, I guess the reason is cookie domain. My GA is set as single domain tracking. And I didn't put any cookie domain code on the Regnow's transaction finishing page. The codes I put on the page are: So, suppose my site is "www.example.com". How to make sure I can track the real order source on the Regnow's transaction finishing page? Should I set my GA to track multi top-level domains, and put _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', '']); code on the tracking page? How to set the domain name, "none" or "example.com"?? Thanks in advance.

Why is GG analytics showing so much (not provided)?
is there a better analytics tool (preferably free) that will show the actual keywords that drive traffic to a website or are we doomed to deal with (not provided) as a result of the Big G's retarded privacy policy? - seems they cant make up their minds as to whether they are going to take care of site owners or advertisers - but they should really take a stand and stop putting out half-ass results if anyone has any helpful ideas that may ease my pain i would be forever in your debt.

Since the 6th June there has been a serious drop in search impressions and clickthroughs in my GA + webmaster accounts.
Since the 6th June there has been a serious drop in organic search impressions and click throughs in my GA + webmaster accounts for my website. This leads me to believe my site has been punished for something? Where would be the best place to start diagnosing the issue causing the drop in search traffic? 2T9hz.jpg

How Do I Create Custom Reports In GA For First Click Attribution?
It only took me a year and a half to get the code Will Critchlow laid out in a blog post last year put on my website. Now I've finally got it but I need more instruction on how to create the custom report I need in GA! Will said he was going to expand on how to set up the custom reports but I'm not sure he ever did. So, can anyone either direct me to Will's follow-up post about setting up custom reports for first click attribution or tell me how to do it? Thanks!
