Tag Manager V2
-
Hi all! Do you have any great resources on Google Tag Manager Version 2? I'm looking for some help and I keep seeing info on V1, which looks pretty different. I'm having quite a bit of trouble implementing it correctly.
Thanks!

Thanks, Kane! Sorry I didn't respond earlier. I've taken a screenshot of a basic tutorial I've been reading. My question is where does the "Click ID" come from? I'm trying to track clicks to social media profiles, for example, or for when someone submits their email address (the contact form is javascript--doesn't redirect to a thank you page).
There is no "id" for the social media profile links, but there is a "class." My question is where does "smshrt" come from in the screen shot below? The author of this post gives no more information about his Click ID.

So that statement appears to be referring to a GTM event tracking tag. The filter means that when someone is on a specific page and clicks on a specific link, it will send an event to GA. I believe "Click ID" is referring to the HTML id tag for the element being clicked.
Send me the exact URL you're seeing that on and I can clarify further.

Thank you! I have a pretty basic question about this statement, which is one thing I've been struggling with with all these guides.
You also need to set up filters to specify when your link click trigger should fire. For example, I want to fire a tag on the page whose URL contains ‘/shop/men/shirts/’ and when the ‘Click ID’ is ‘smshrt’.
The 'Click ID' -- is it set up only in Google Analytics? Is there also somewhere in GTM to set that up as well? Or do I need to include it in the link's HTML on the site as well? I know GTM is designed so that marketers don't have to rely on getting into the code too much (and for some of my clients it's nearly impossible to get anything done in there).
Thanks for your help, everyone.

Is the meta referrer tag still used
Is the meta meta referrer tag still used and is it affective. I have an issue with traffic going from one of my sites to a client site and our referral is going into their direct traffic (in Googel Analytics) instead of being seen as a referral from our site. I saw that people were using the meta referral tag, but I can't find any MOZ info about it other than a blog article from 2015.

Google Tag Manager chrome plugin to diagnose Analytics issues
Hi I've just used Google Tag Manager chrome plugin to look at possible analytics issues on a clients site and it has reported that its Analytics ID is being tracked twice. 1 is Universal and the other is Universal Asynchronous And when i click the question mark next to the 'Where to Optimise' info in GTM this page is displayed with teh following info highlighted: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/asyncMigrationExamples ga.js is a legacy library. If you are starting a new implementation we recommend you use the latest version of this library, analytics.js. For exisiting implementations, learn how to migrate from ga.js to analytics.js. Since both versions seem to be on there surely i dont need to migrate but just delete the old non-asynchronous version ? Or do i need do anything else or additional ? All Best Dan

Variables in Google Tag Manager
Last week I got a great answer here on how to implement GTM and cross domain tracking, now that we have that in place I'm looking for some more advice 😉 I'm wondering that if we push variabels into the data-layer of GTM, can we actually use those variables in reports as well? Do they get recorded in Google Analytics? I'd like to use some data that we push to the data layer for segmentation purposes. Anybody an idea how to achieve this?

How serious are the Duplicate page content and Tags error?
I have a travel booking website which reserves flights, cars, hotels, vacation packages and Cruises. I encounter a huge number of Duplicate Page Title and Content error. This is expected because of the nature of my website. Say if you look for flights between Washington DC and London Heathrow you will at least get 60 different options with same content and title tags. How can I go about reducing the harm if any of duplicate content and meta tags on my website? Knowing that invariably I will have multiple pages with same content and tags? Would appreciate your advice? S.H
