Google analytics is not tracking well
-
Hey,
There is something not working in our GA account, its shows too many visits per day, when look where this traffic comes from, the majority comes from (not set).
Please find attached.
Really appreciate help! Thank you!

Hey
It's tough to say, I'm not sure which report you're looking at exactly (the keyword report?) - "not set" means is was a different medium of traffic - either direct or referral, so there is no keyword.
There is no way to fix "not provided" - Google has been blocking the keyword for logged in users since October of 2011. Not provided means Google will not provide the keyword because of this.
I highly doubt something it wrong though. You're looking at the /en/ page - is that a new page for English users? Maybe it's a new URL and thus only sees traffic recently.
You can use this awesome method to test Google Analytics with Screaming Frog to make sure it's installed on every page on your website.
Hope that helps!

"Palabra clave" --> "key word" - that's great - I play salsa music, and "clave" the central rhythm was always described as the "key" to the music. It's true!

Hey,
We are not running any campaigns.
I know its not impossible, but this client had no prior seo work done and we are just implementing new changes.
Increases of 1000% on traffic from 1 month to another with no promotion of any kind and just starting with SEO...weird.
I have no idea where to start...with new info...any idea of what can be happening?
-
Streamline is right on with all this. One thing I want to assure you of is that GA is definitely not malfunctioning. So cross that off your list of possibilities and continue your research.
Good luck!

Are you running a Google AdWords campaign? If so, then (not set) means the AdWords and Analytics accounts are not linked properly.
And "60 visits per day to 623" is certainly not impossible! But I agree it is likely a little weird if you aren't doing any kind of advertising or promotion. Are you able to look up if the increase in visitors is possibly coming from Direct or Referral sites?
-
The thing is that from one day to another we have been we passed from 60 visits per day to 623 fror example...one day to another,,,thats impossible.
And most of the traffic marks non provided...this is what support from google says: http://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2820717?hl=en-GB, and we dont know how to fix this.
Thanx for your help!
-
In this case, you are looking up the keywords which generated traffic to your site and "(not set)" means the traffic is not coming from any keywords, most likely because it is Direct or Referral traffic.
I'm not sure what you mean by "too many visits per day" - can you elaborate?

Did Analytics change the way to handle Google images searches on Dec 12?
Dear all, One of the sites I'm monitoring receives a lot of traffic from image searches or images that appear in universal search results. On Dec 12th, 2015, the bounce rate for these sessions went from around 30% the day before to around 87%. See screen shot below. Did anybody notice similar bounces in the bounce rate? Did Google change something in the way that image search is handled? Looking forward to your ideas! large?v=mpbl-1&px=999

How accurate is Google analytics at measuring traffic? (Free version)
Hi Guys. When we compare our actual sales to Google analytics conversions it can be way out. Sometimes as much as 50%. Is this the same for the data on traffic? And if so, does the data tend to be out by a similar amount over time? i.e) If we compare this year and last year it give us a good indicator of differences in traffic volume? (albeit not 100% accurate?) Thanks. Isaac.

Goal Tracking In Analytics On Separate Ordering Website
I have a question for any Google Analytics wizards out there. We have two clients that have a similar complication when it comes to tracking goal conversions in Analytics. Basically, all the conversion actions we want to track occur on a separate website; either an iframe embedded on the page or through an entirely different ordering website. Trick is, Analytics sees the source for all these conversions as referrals from the main site. We'd like to get visibility back to the original source/medium that brought visitors to the site before they converted. Anyone have a suggestion for making that happen?

Google Analytics Report throws up Google as a referrer
Good morning from Wet & Windy 12 degrees C wetherby UK... Using Google analytics I've noticed in the traffic sources refferer subsection some traffic is categorized as originating from Google. Whats puzzling me is.... I know a huge amount of traddic stems from Google but as the below screenshot illustrates only 21 visitors come from Google: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/google-refferal-sources-top-levelcopy.jpg And when i drill down some are coming from Google mobile 😞 http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/google-referral-sourcescopy.jpg Is traffic categorised as Google referrer down to Google hiding searches via ssl as explained here: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/google-referral-sourcescopy.jpg Any insights welcome 🙂

Google Analytic Tracking Issue (&utm_nooverride=1)
Hello, We have a problem that means we are unable to track our AdWords and organic work at all. Looking at "/All Traffic Sources" and clicking on "Ecommerce Tab" in Analytics we can see that (made up ratio :)):
Reporting & Analytics | | jannkuzel
£2 is attributed to Google/ CPC
£1 is attributed to Google / Organic
But £100 to Payment Provider/ referral and also various referrals from banking transaction pages. All of the revenue/conversions are being credited to the payment provider or the bank security checks the payment goes through. After having done some research we have found that the problem may be that Google Analytics attributes the purchase to the most recent click (on the payment provider button) rather than the initial click on the cpc campaign/organic or direct etc. Some people have suggested using the "&utm_nooverride=1"
tag which we wanted to run past you guys and confirm whether adding
this tag to the payment provider 'buy now' button on our website will
presumably fix this referral problem? Alternatively does the tag need
to be entered into our CPC campaigns as well? Or can you please guide
us in another way? We have also heard that "cross-domain" tracking could be the solution. So we are really confused what to do and where hoping someone had maybe been through something similar and could advice before we fully launch into a solution. In addition, it should be noted that our 'Goals Funnel Visualisation'
of 'checkout' breaks up at the penultimate stage of the checkout. All
customers exit through the /checkout_process (penultimate) but are recognised returning to the successful checkout page but there is a missing link in between these
two stages as 0% pass through is shown even though they do return? Thank you so much in advance for all your help.0 -
