Google analytics - landing pages
-
Hello, I have a website and it contains landing pages.
after tracking and analyzing the data in Google Analytics , I found out that the traffic for the whole site is affected by the visits to the landing page.
I mean, the bounce rate is less than one minute. this is because users fill their details in the landing pages and leave my website.
to improve my website, I need clear data about the traffic, bounce rate etc. in my website. I also need
can you help me solve this problem
- I thought about create another account in Google Analytics and set it to my websites pages (not including the landing pages). and keep the current code for the landing pages.
my question is regarding this: Is it legal to use 2 different GA code (each one of them belong to different account) in the same domain ?
- can you provide me with more information about Multi Account in Google Analytics, and how can I use it to divide the traffic in my website between the traffic and the data for the landing pages and for the website itself ?

you will just have to pay around the the include and exclude filters to get the results you want. If you could "mark" your landing page commonly that you can then exclude them filters eg a string of text or something, You will just have to have a good think about it
Sorry I could not have been more helpful, but there are loads of guide on how to use filters in this way on the internet.

I created a segment in my Google Analytics account to show data without the visits to the landing pages.
when I checked which URL google analytics excludes I saw some pages that are not "Landing Pages" like the pages for another language www.domain.com/fra also "contact us","Agreement","Log in page", "Create Account" in addition to many pages that are not Landing pages.My question is: is there any way to remove these pages from the Landing Pages group that google analytics created ?
- Can I edit this group and remove pages that are not Landing pages so I get clear data ?

How can i create an absolute separation from the traffic I get to the landing pages and to my site? I just want to split the data to 2 sections:
1. Data only about the visitors in my site
2. Data only about the visitors in my landing pages.
I remind you guys that unfortunately in this time I have the same tacking ID in my landing pages and in my main site.
My goal is to separate the data and get clear data about each one of the visits to the landing pages and to the vists to my website.It’s not better to move the landing pages to subdomain and create a new google analytics code for them?

I'm not sure there's a penalty for using 2 lots of code but there's no need to as Paddy says.
The only time I have used two lots of code is when a third party has set up Analytics and can't or won't hand Admin rights over so the two codes were used so that the website owner could start to collects their own data without losing the historical third party stats.

don't put the 2 different analytics codes on your page!
What you can do is use segments or profile filters (you can have multi profile for one site) to split your data up

Why No Goal is recorded in Google Analytics
Hello, I am not sure if i made an error. Can someone please point out. On our sales form, when a user submits the form, the URL displayed is - https://x-y.com/thank-you-2/ I created a Goal like this - 1 ) Under Goal set up, i choose Template option 2 ) Under Goal description, i choose Type > Destination 3 ) and finally, in Goal details field, destination equals to /thank-you-2/ But, no Goal is being tracked. In the first step, should i have selected 'Custom' instead of 'Template' Thanks

Google Analytics - Adding a sub-domain
Hi I have a google analytics query.
Reporting & Analytics | | Niki_1
I have a main site with a google analytics tag and I have 2 forms that sit on a subdomain with a different GA code. As I would like to measure end to end tracking, I would like the same GA code on the subdomain. What is the best way for me to implement this? Would I need to make some changes to the GA code that sits on the main site or can I add the the GA code from the main site onto the subdomain? Thanks0 -
Relation between Page and Landing Page
Hi all, I am looking through the Analytics data on a specific 'page' (404.html which is the Not found page) and as my secondary dimensions, I have Landing Page data. Now am I not sure how the page and the landing page are related here. Is it basically saying 58 Page views of the 404.html were originated by the users who landed on brochures.html? If someone could provide any pointers on it, it would be great. Thank you for your time. uZQJ

Wordpress + Google Analytics = Pulling My Hair Out
Hey Mozzers, Quick question for you- I have analytics set-up for a personal site I run and I know, verifiably it's receiving traffic, however, whenever I access my Google Analytics dashboard, it says I've had zero visits. Interestingly, today I had a colleague check the site from a foreign country and I could see the page views (within 15 minutes), however, I could not get any information about the site viewer. I have verified that the Analytics profile is 'receiving data' (which it is) and my Google Webmaster Tools is not reporting any issues? Finally, I went ahead and updated my profile so that it is pulling from 'www.mydomain.com' instead of 'mydomain.com', I don't know if that'll make any difference, but likewise, I didn't want to go and create the 'little kid in the elevator' analogy, where I'm just pressing a bunch of buttons just because they're there. So the only changes I've made thus far were deactivating Yoast's SEO plug-in and manually placing the GA code in the header and updating the 'Website's URL' in the profile settings tab of GA from 'mydomain.com' to 'www.mydomain.com'. With that, I am stumped and praying another one of the esteemed Mozzers out there may be able to help me resolve this. Any thoughts?

Expert Google Analytics: store with multiple languages and multiple sub-domians
I hope there's some hardcore Analytics shark out there, with a quick reply 🙂 I am setting up a store with multiple languages for a client and need to be able to track multiple sub-domains as a multiple languages in analytics. Example: dk.somedomain.com -> Danish language
Reporting & Analytics | | ReneReinholdt
www.somedomain.com -> English language
no.somedomain.com -> Norweigen language
.. and so on Now what the client would like is to have one single entity with multiple profiles in analytics, like this: somedomain.com
-> www.somedomain.com
-> dk.somedomain.com
-> no.somedomain.com
ex.. So if the client want's to see stats for the English language then he just vlivks the www profile and in case of danish he clicks the dk profile and so on.
problem here is I can't find an analytics help that addresses this specific issue. I have found this but that doesn't seem to cover it:. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. 🙂0 -
How to track what people type on my text boxes on Google Analytics?
Hi there! In our website, we have a few text boxes that users need to use to complete the goal. The boxes aren't search boxes, but it's still important to us to track what people type on it. I'm looking for a way to track the data through the "event" feature in Google Analytics, but it seems that this tracker can only calculate clicks, or video views etc. Does anyone knows how to track do it?

How do I find out how well a page converts in Analytics
Hello All, I am looking to find out how well a page converts in Analytics. A simple request you would thing, but no! First off let me list what I don't want to know: I don't want to know the conversion rate of a product I don't want to know the conversion rate based on the landing page What I want to know is how many people click to add the product to their basket on a particular page (which I understand is not strictly the conversion rate, but whatever). So the ways I have tried unsuccessfully are: The Analytics overlay (the in page Analytics thing) - this doesn't work because the "Add to Basket" button is not a link, it is an input. The Navigation Summary - this doesn't work because most of the time the /shopping_cart.php URL doesn't come up in the short list, and if you search for the URL in the search box beneath the percentages get all skewed. The most obvious solution would be Event tracking but I can't get that implemented in the short term. So does anyone have the answer to this most curious of conundrums? Thanking you in advance, Rich
