Google Analytics SEO Queries Not Showing
-
Hi All,
This might be a silly question, but for all the properties I monitor in Google Analytics, I'm now showing no data for SEO Queries under Acquisition for the past 6 days. Normally I would expect a few day delay in queries, but nothing for 6 days is somewhat peculiar especially as it was functioning fine prior to November 12th. Does anyone have insight into what might be going on? Thanks!

I am seeing no search query data before Oct 22, 2015 in my Google Web Master and Google Analytics. Is anyone else facing this issue?
Please see image in the URL. Google Web Master does not let me set the data before Oct 23, 2015.

yes, here is Google offical tweet on "For those of you who were waiting for a confirmation: Yes, the Search Analytics Data in Google SC in now back to normal. As I said: Zineb Ait (@Missiz_Z) November 18, 2015"
-
Has this been fixed? We're still seeing a couple of clients who have zeros on their Google Analytics Queries report, but others that seem to be working fine.
When we look at these clients' Search Console reports we're also seeing nothing. The client I was just reviewing isn't getting a huge amount of search traffic, but it is over 500 search visitors a month. There should be something, right?

issue with webmaster tool (search console) and we should have this back soon - happened last week as well and then Google fixed it but its back and they are working on it.
-
i believe this is due to the issue with search console and this should be fixed by end of week, as per Google Tweet.

Thanks Ria!
Looks like that would be it. Thanks again and have a great day!

Maybe something to do with this:
Google are apparently working to fix the bug in Search Console with Search Analytics data, which would affect Google Analytics.
"An Update on the Search Analytics report in Google Search console
Data have been missing in Search Analytics since November 12th.
The team is aware of it and currently working on a fix.
It should be back to normal by the end of the week."

Thanks Dmitrii,
Yeah, looks like it's a broken connection between the two. Or simply yet another change Google decided to make suddenly.
-
Thanks Ria,
I've seen the (not set) for a bit now, but the absolute flatline with no data, not even (not set) since the 12th is troubling. So likely they've changed things up again or perhaps a bug? Thanks again!

Hi, Ria.
The subject in question is why number of impressions are being shown as 0. I understand that there are lots of queries which are being as not set now, but that doesn't explain the quantity of overall amount dropping to 0.
-
If you're seeing (not set), I suspect this might be the explanation:
https://www.seroundtable.com/google-analytics-seo-report-not-set-is-not-a-bug-21102.html
"In Search Analytics if you look at the numbers of the queries that you see there, you will sometimes see that we show a top aggregated, maybe a hundred queries, and in a table below if you add the numbers together, you might see 70 queries or something like that.
And the difference there is essentially queries that we filter out, and in Search Console we don’t show them separately and in Google Analytics they chose to call them Not Set.
So that is what you are seeing there, not something completely different, its not showing the difference that you’d have to calculate yourself."
Unless, they've changed things up again.

Hi there.
Surprisingly, it happens to me as well. I have no idea why this exactly happening, however, I do have a suggestion.
Simply go to Search Analytics section of Google webmaster tools (or as it's know now - Search console) and see all your data there. Google analytics is pulling all that data from GWT anyway, so, maybe there is a bug or new change in GA-GWT connections.
Hope this helps.

Pandora in Google Analytics
Hi Mozers, in Google Analytics our ads are registering a 10 second page duration and a 90% bounce rate, which is pretty atrocious. My questions are: Organic page duration is 3:15 minutes, and Social + Referral are similar. Yet Pandora is bringing the average time on site way down, to less than a minute. Will those paid ad metrics be factored to the User Behavior and therefore negative affect our overall rankings? In other words does Google now see our page duration as less than a minute? The Pandora rep says that Google Analytics and Pandora have "systemic issues" such that GA is very inaccurate with Pandora metrics. I find that difficult to believe. Any insights here? Thanks all! Jane

Will 301 redirects (Same Domain) show as referral traffic in Analytics?
For an eCommerce site we have 301'd legacy product pages to new product pages. Is all that traffic going to show up as referral traffic from our own domain in Google Analytics? If so, is there any way to preserve original source/medium info or will all the source/medium info be our own domain since there is a 301 redirect?

Google Analytics complexe solution?
Hello, We have Google Analytics on our website and we have started to track the conversions.
Reporting & Analytics | | lunacloud
Basically we have a goal with 3 steps: Account Details (Personal Information) Confirmation (Mobile Confirmation Code) Email ( confirmation link) On the last step (Destination Goal) we send an email to the customer with the account confirmation link, the tracking works perfectly. Our problem is with the Goal Completions on "Traffic Sources" >> "AdWords" >> "Campaigns", Analytics doesn't add the conversions. This problem is related to the email confirmation? There is any solution to overcome this problem? Thank you! yzujFZU.png f4fay1G.png0 -
Google Analytic Tracking Issue (&utm_nooverride=1)
Hello, We have a problem that means we are unable to track our AdWords and organic work at all. Looking at "/All Traffic Sources" and clicking on "Ecommerce Tab" in Analytics we can see that (made up ratio :)):
Reporting & Analytics | | jannkuzel
£2 is attributed to Google/ CPC
£1 is attributed to Google / Organic
But £100 to Payment Provider/ referral and also various referrals from banking transaction pages. All of the revenue/conversions are being credited to the payment provider or the bank security checks the payment goes through. After having done some research we have found that the problem may be that Google Analytics attributes the purchase to the most recent click (on the payment provider button) rather than the initial click on the cpc campaign/organic or direct etc. Some people have suggested using the "&utm_nooverride=1"
tag which we wanted to run past you guys and confirm whether adding
this tag to the payment provider 'buy now' button on our website will
presumably fix this referral problem? Alternatively does the tag need
to be entered into our CPC campaigns as well? Or can you please guide
us in another way? We have also heard that "cross-domain" tracking could be the solution. So we are really confused what to do and where hoping someone had maybe been through something similar and could advice before we fully launch into a solution. In addition, it should be noted that our 'Goals Funnel Visualisation'
of 'checkout' breaks up at the penultimate stage of the checkout. All
customers exit through the /checkout_process (penultimate) but are recognised returning to the successful checkout page but there is a missing link in between these
two stages as 0% pass through is shown even though they do return? Thank you so much in advance for all your help.0 -
