No Social Sources in Google Analytics - what am I doing wrong?
-
Hello Everyone,
I'm having a strange issue: I DO NOT have in my Google Analytics the "Social" tab under the Traffic Sources category.
Look at the first image of this post: http://marketingland.com/google-analytics-social-reports-8138
How do you "get" that to show?
Hope somebody has this issue and can help,
Thanks a lot,
Alex

Thanks for your replies - all of you - it looks like i didnt read well enough:
"No setup is required to track Google +1 interactions that occur on your site. However, to track interactions with non-Google interactions, you will need to modify your tracking code."
To me, this means that G+1 will be tracked automatically HOWEVER if you want to track NON Google products (Facebook, Twitter, Digg, etc) you'll need to modify the tracking code, meaning that you probably need to add a tracking code to every non google button:
_gaq.push(['_trackSocial', network, socialAction, opt_target, opt_pagePath]); Thanks again, Alex

Hi Jeff - yeah Google+ is automatically integrated - another obvious question is do you both have +1s from users being reported in Google - because if you don't then you may need to update to the latest tracking code if you haven't already, as this is a potential issue..
-
Good point, Matt. I'm not using the social tracking plugin as of yet. From what I understand, Google+ is automatically integrated without further code needed?
If that's the case, I would assume you'd be able to see the Social tab with G+ data integrated?

Hi - reading the article the impression I get is that you still need to have modified your existing tracking code to be able to use this feature when the tab does appear on your report. Are either of you already using the social tracking plugin?

Sorry if its obvious and you are but thought I would check..

In the 4th paragraph of the article you link to, it says "Some may see them today, and they should roll out to all users in the coming weeks."
The tab does not yet show up in my Analytics page either, so I'd hang tight for a few more weeks.

Google Analytics - Not provided info
Morning all, i am using Google analytics for some time now, One of the issues that i don't have a clear answer for is, when i am looking at Traffic Source --> overview In the Keyword column, that is a line (not provided) What we think here is that we cant see the keywords if someone arrived to our website but was logged-in to Google account Is this correct? is there a way to find the keywords behind this (not provided)? - i have many visits for this line (17.3% of all visits) and i don't know which keywords people used. Thank you SeoWise

Google Analytics Showing Inflated Product Revenue
Hi- For the month of Feb on two of our sites we are seeing inflated product revenues. I have not seen this before and I am not having any luck searching for answers. Here is the issue: Product B sells for $159.95 For the month of Feb we sold 3 thus revenue should be ~$479.85 GA is showing Product B's revenue at $3,360.00 I read online that sometimes folks will bookmark the receipt page and that can cause this and we would need to put a catch in place for this but I am guessing this is not the case as it is happening on two sites. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Google Analytics Content Experiments don't deliver 50/50?
Our A/B test is actually delivering at about a 70/30 page view rate. 70% in favor of the original version and only 30% of the new. We are sending 100% of our traffic to this homepage test. Has anyone else experienced this? There seems to be a lot of folks experiencing this.....anyone know why?
