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!

Greg - I believe all of that has been made pretty much obsolete by Multi-Channel Funnels in Analytics.

Sorry to hear you invested so much time, but happy that there is an easier solution available to you

Queries vs. Organic Keywords in GA

Could someone explain how the following metrics in Google Analytics are being calculated: Search Engine Optimization (Acquisition): clicks on a certain query Campaigns (Acquisition): sessions on a certain keyword GA Help states that both 'queries' and 'organic keywords' refer to the actual string a user enters in Google Search. In that cases it seems that 'clicks' on a SERP result through a given query and 'sessions' through that very same query could not be miles apart. E.g.: Clicks through query X = 170 Sessions through organic keyword X = 8 Thank you for helping me out!

Creating Meta Tags for a Web Hosting company

My client has recently had his site rewritten by a company which supplies a website/hosting/seo service. The client still wants to use me for establishing his site locally and for SEM. My problem is that the code is not accessible to me. They have set up GA tracking which feeds into the reports dashboard. There is no way of actually access the raw data. When I asked for access to the GA account I got this message from bOline solutions: "Your SEO consultant will need to create a new GA account and then add the meta tag to the reports tab of your site" Because I am still very much learning GA I do not know what meta tag they are referring too. I'm therefore stuck as to how to create it. I've started learning about "Google Tag Manager" and am working through "Digital Analytics Fundementals", I've a feeling this is just a question of terminology - can anyone more experience in the subject help me?

Google Analytics Custom Filter

Hello, Quick question, when I create a custom filter on a profile that already has data collected will that filter apply to already collected data or will the filter only apply from the day it was created? Am doing a custom exclude IP filter. Much thanks,

URL Structure and Analytics Reporting

Since there are no dumb questions, here's mine: Our url structure currently displays the date followed by the post title. However, our news website has many categories like world, sports, entertainment etc. Now, when tracking in GA we get to see how many hits a specific page is getting (like entertainment) but since the category is not defined in the URL GA does not add the detail story views to the category page views. To illustrate further, a story from the entertainment section maybe displayed on the Home page and a reader may click on that story and read it without going to the entertainment page. This however, does not reflect in the analytics for that specific page(in this example, the entertainment page). My question is, should we ammend the url structure to include the categories, if so, would the editor have to do that while composing the post or is there some other way. We are using WP. Or should I create some filters or something on GA. Thanks!
