Reported data in Multi-channel funnels in GA wrong?
-
I'd love to start using the Multi-channel funnels feature in Google Analytics but I have zero confidence in the reported data as it seems to bear no relationship to the standard ecomm reports.
To be specific, in August 2013, MCF is reporting the following for email campaigns:
Assisted conversions = 20
Assisted conversion value = £1,405.91
Last Click or Direct Conversions = 14
Last Click or Direct Conversion Value = £369.57Now switching to the traffic sources report, GA reports for the email campaigns revenue was £1,226,41 over the same period across 21 transactions. My interpretation of this is that the email campaigns were the "last-click" and delivered £1,226,41 and 21 "conversions" (as I have no goals configured in this GA view, conversions = transactions I believe)
That leaves the MCF last-click report short by £856.84 (£1,226,41 - £369.57)
I can see no reason why this should be so unless I'm not interpreting the data correctly!
Anybody have any suggestions/ideas as to what's going on?
Any help appreciated.

Make sure under the MCF "Explorer" tab, you have "Conversions" selected and not "Assisting Interactions Analysis"

How to see organic traffic trend in GA?
Hi Guys, I want to identify whether organic landing pages in Google Analytics month on month (over 6 month period) have increased or decreased in traffic and whether the traffic trend is positive or negative. See attachment of the data. In total there are 500 pages, so it's just not feasible to review each organic chart for each organic landing page to view the trend. I’m sure there is some way to view this in Google Analytics, but just not sure how. Any suggestions? Cheers. 0Bnv85G.jpg

Is Google's Knowledge Graph stealing sessions from the organic channel?
Does Google count it as an organic session in Google Analytics when a searcher clicks on the "get directions", "call" or even "website" from Google's Knowledge Graph. Are the articles that prove or disprove this question? Thanks!

Referral Exclusion List - Data Questsion
This may seem like a silly question. Since we are having an issue with self-referrals, we checked all the pages and everything is tagged properly, I used the referral exclusion list to exclude our domains. Question is, since we had a large number of our revenue coming in from the self-referring traffic, what happens to that revenue data once I add our domains to the referral exclusion list?

Has GA changed how it calculates bounce rate?
Updated website from Magento backend to Wordpress and since the redeploy, my bounce rate has dropped from 40% to 4%. I did check to see if there was duplicate GA tracking code but only one call. I checked reports under "visitor flow" and one page visits seem inline with the previous bounce rate. Weird. Never experienced this before.

Moz Crawler suddenly reporting 1000s of duplicates (BE.net)
In the last 3-4 days we've had several thousand 'duplicate content' warnings appear in our crawl report, 99% of them related to our on-site blog. The blog is BlogEngine.Net, but the pages simply don't exist. The majority seem to be Roger trying quasi-random URLs like:
Reporting & Analytics | | Progauto
/?page=410 /?page=151 Etc. etc. The blog will present content for these requests, but it is of course the same empty page since there's only unique content for up to /?Page=10 or so. Two questions: 1. Did something change recently? These blogs have been up for months, and this problem has only come up this week. Did Roger change to become more aggressive lately? 2. Suggested remediation? On one of the blogs I've put no-index no-follow for any page that has a /?page querystring, and we'll see what effect that has come next crawl next week. However, I'm not sure this will work as per: http://moz.com/community/q/functionality-of-seomoz-crawl-page-reports Anyone else had dynamic blogs suddenly blossom into thousands of duplicate content warnings? Google (rightly) ignores these pages completely.0 -
Google Custom Report Filters are a pain in the arse
Greetings from high weed pollen count Wetherby UK 🙂 Ok ive been having extreme custom reporting filter frustration with Google analytics. My objective was to set up a "custom" google analytics report that detailed: 1. Referral traffic from external sights in one reporting tab
Reporting & Analytics | | Nightwing
2. Visitor generic traffic report including direct, search & referral traffic e.g: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/reporting-tabscopy.jpg But Ive hit the provebial buffers 😞 Initailly i added an advanced filter as shown here: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/custom-reporting-with-filtercopy.jpg but the advanced filters do not stick / save. As soon as you exit the custom report the advanced filter is cleared as shown here: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/custom-reporting-filter-removedcopy.jpg I then added a filter under a specific custom tab but the filter cascades into all the reporting tabs see below: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/custom-reporting-cascading-filterscopy.jpg So my question is please... "How do can you set up filters that effect the data in one reporting tab and does not cascade into the others" Any insights welcome 🙂0 -
