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.

And the original URL: http://www.optimizesmart.com/beginners-guide-google-tag-manager-v2/

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.

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

Pro's & Con's of Wordpress Categorys & Tags
Good Afternoon! I touched on this question a while back in another post specifically regarding a plethora of duplicate pages that I was finding due to inappropriate tagging in wordpress. As I am going through our website, I am starting to notice it happening again with categories as well. I am including some pictures where you can see the URL structures and titles etc of how everything is laid out. I would like to clarify that I was not the one who did any of this Is it wrong/bad to cross categorize? What I mean by that is put something in more than one category? Would there be any drawback to converting any of these into subcategories? Would that even do anything? Does having two pages that are named the same thing, hurt you? It would seem to me that Google wouldn't like that. I have recently come into the field of thought that Google is getting more and more human, and If it makes a human uncomfortable/confused it will make Google confused. In my pictures you can see we clearly have numerous hard copies of the same thing, not just duplicate elements created by wordpress, that is a separate issue. I personally want to change all of the titles and make everything as different and individual as possible, but i also could be very wrong in my desire to do that. Any thoughts are appreciated! eY4iX2N N3AVqss JZpU7Rq

Tagging URLs Linkbuilding and anchor links
Hi, I am going to publish a press release on a number of different websites. First and foremost, I want to build anchor links back to website for specific keywords. Secondly I want to measure clickthrus from each site using parameter tracking in GA. I want to know if I put in a url with ?utm_source=xxx, will this have any impact upon my linkbuilding efforts? i.e. will search engines attribute the keyword to the long url with tracking or the url without tracking. I understand that everything from the ? mark is ignored. However, i just want to double check before I publish release. Thanks for your help. Mik
