How do I get compete.com to track my data
-
Is there a tracking code for them? I cannot find a way to get them to track my site data. I know it seems trivial, but it is sadly a big tool in my industry so I need to get my data on their site
-
I get more than enough to show on their data. I see data for sites that I know with 100% certainty gets far less than me. The support desk does not seem to be any help. I can also read their generic faq's. But the response is not accurate or fixing the issue.

If you are wondering why your company site data isn't showing up in Compete, it's likely too small a sample-size. I'm not sure about your business model or position in the industry, but it seems like you need more daily traffic et al. to be showing up in their data sets.
Here is their response from their FAQ:
Why don't you report on metrics for my site?
To report metrics for a site, we must have a large enough sample in our panel to normalize the data to the total population. If we are unable to report metrics for your site, it likely means we do not have statistically relevant data with which to project traffic. In those instances, it’s even more important to get insights into your competitors and their online metrics. The valuable insights you'll gain by examining your competitive set and their online strategies will allow you to better position your organization to drive online marketing impact.

Trying to locate the e commerce tracking code on shopify?
Hi everyone, I am doing a google analytics site audit for an e commerce site using shopify. I can see e commerce data on GA but I'd like to make sure that e commerce tracking code is present and correct. I have the shopify thank you page checkout.shopify.com/example1234556 but cannot locate the client's e commerce tracking code http://cl.ly/191F0Z460p1L. I guess this is normal since we are on the shopify domain. Is this normal to not have the client e commerce tracking code present on shopify thank you page? Does shopify have a system in place that integrates and or generate this e commerce tracking code for the client? Finally, how can I verify if the ga e commerce tracking code on shopify is correct and in place? Thanks for letting me know!

Goal Tracking In Analytics On Separate Ordering Website
I have a question for any Google Analytics wizards out there. We have two clients that have a similar complication when it comes to tracking goal conversions in Analytics. Basically, all the conversion actions we want to track occur on a separate website; either an iframe embedded on the page or through an entirely different ordering website. Trick is, Analytics sees the source for all these conversions as referrals from the main site. We'd like to get visibility back to the original source/medium that brought visitors to the site before they converted. Anyone have a suggestion for making that happen?

Number of clicks / organic traffic - different data in Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools
Hi. I have a little problem. When I open Google Webmaster Tools I see 3000 clicks (in Traffic - Search queries - Clicks). But when I open Google Analytics I see much more visits from search engine (Google) - it´s 4-5 times more! It´s a huge difference, don´t you think? Do you know, where is the problem? What causes this diffence? thanks a lot

Easiest way to get out of Google local results?
Odd one this, but what's the easiest way to remove a website from the Google local listings? Would removing all the Google map listings do the job? A client of ours is suffering massively since the Google update in the middle of last month. Previously they would appear no1 or no2 in the local results and normally 1 or 2 in the organic results. However, since the middle of last month any time they rank on the first page for a local result, their organic result has dropped massively to at least page 4. If I set my location as something different in google, say 100 miles away, they then rank well for the organic listings (obviously not appearing for local searches). When I change it back to my current location the organic listing is gone and they are back to ranking for the local. Since the middle of July the traffic from search engines has dropped about 65%. All the organic rankings remain as strong as ever just not in the areas where they want to get customers from!! The idea is to remove the local listing and get the organics reranking as the ctr on those is much much higher. On a side note, anyone else notice very poor ctr on google local listings? Maybe users feel they are adverts thanks

Tracking Social Media Logged In Users Help
Hi, I recently read Tom Anthony's post on "Monitor Which Social Networks Your Visitors are Logged Into With Google Analytics". I have looked and re-looked at the code implemented and after two days I am still not getting any results tracking. Could somebody please take a look at my site and tell me if they see any conflicts or errors I may have made when installing the code. Thanks for any help!

Creating a Filter in GA to track Parent Category
I don't know if the title makes sense, but here's my question... Our newspaper website has multiple categories like World, Sport, Entertainment etc. Now, a story, belonging to the entertainment section maybe published on the entertainment page but is likely to have a slot somewhere on the Home page as well as other pages. The same goes for stories in sport etc. However, the url displays the date folllowed by the post title and thats it, no category name. Now, a user may end up going to a detailed story that belongs to the entertainment section (from the home page or any other page) without actually having visited the entertainment page. However, for tracking purposes, we want to see how many hits we got on the entertainment page and any story belonging to that particular section. So, my question is how do I go about creating filters that can help me track category page and detail story hits as one? Or, should I ammend the url structure (keep in mind we are using wordpress for our news website) to include category after the date and would this solve my problem of tracking? I asked a similar question recently but maybe I did not explain myself clearly. Thanks!
