I am using Google analytics to track an event when a button is clicked. Please find below my piece of code responsible for that.
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', '#accountNumber']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function () {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>
<button id="button-submit" onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'CoreSiteCulture UK Submit', 'US Home', 'example.com']);">Save</button>
The the events are sent but they do not appear in Google Analytics events.
Does anyone knows what might be wrong?
EDIT:
I am using the GA Debugger for debugging and it says Tracking beacon sent.
Maybe the problem is not in production.
Please check:
http://oapp.com.ar/stack/index.html
The problem is that analytics can not be tested in local environment
For local testing, you need to add this
ga('create', 'UA-XXXX-Y', {
'cookieDomain': 'none'
});
Here is the link for reference.

I am making an app and I want to get analytics from the users. I got this code from google developer link i am able to build it correctlyand page load i am getting alert("called"). But I'm still seeing no hits in Google Analytics website itself. Can anyone help in figuring out the problem?
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-52594810-1']);
// _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Videos', 'Play', 'Gone With the Wind']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', 'Videos', 'Play', 'Gone With the Wind']);
(function () {
alert("called");
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
I have two Google analytic s event in one page. I only want one Google analytic event. Is there anyway i can remove one so when i open that page, only one Google analytic can be seen.
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-1']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function () {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>
and,
<script type=text/java-script>
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-1']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
_gaq.push(['_addTrans','7000004','380194','99.99','7.27','20','Richfield','MN','US']);
_gaq.push(['_addItem','7000004','38361','Power Shovel (38361)','','99.99','1']);
_gaq.push(['_trackTrans']); //submits transaction to the Analytics servers
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + 'Google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>
I want second one to delete.
Thanks a lot
If I've understood your question correctly, this should be really easy to resolve.
It looks like you've got two identical blocks calling Google Analytics (on the account UA-31277529-1), the first is just the vanilla add-to-the-page code supplied by Google.
The second block includes the same initialization but also pushes a couple of additional pieces of information to Analytics (eCommerce tracking?). Essentially, you've got redundancy in the set-up and page tracking because of that first block.
So, I'm assuming that you want to both:
track page visitors via Analytics;
and track the additional eCommerce attributes you're pushing.
Then, all you need to do is remove the first code block and use only the second one:
<script type=text/java-script>
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-31277529-1']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
_gaq.push(['_addTrans','7000004','380194','99.99','7.27','20','Richfield','MN','US']);
_gaq.push(['_addItem','7000004','38361','Power Shovel (38361)','','99.99','1']);
_gaq.push(['_trackTrans']); //submits transaction to the Analytics servers
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + 'Google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>
This will still track your page views, but will also track your eCommerce objects, which should all occur in one, single 'fire'.
The tracking code on the site in question, "site2", appears as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-1']);
_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'site1.com']);
_gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>
</body>
</html>
Here is a screenshot of the debugger on that site:
The _setDomainName method on the preceding domain, "site1" has a period before it:
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-1']);
_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', '.site1.com']);
_gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>
While this may or may not prevent cookies from being passed along to the second domain, the tracking code should still at least fire, no? It is important to note that we own both domains. I cannot find any reason that would cause the code not to trigger, except perhaps an error elsewhere on the page. I am using GA Debug to see whether or not the beacon is being sent. It's being sent on site1, but not on site2.
Thanks for the help!
_setDomainName tells the Google Analytics cookie where to store itself. Browsers will not let set a cookie on site1.com from site2.com. Leave .site1.com on you main site and update it to .site2.com on your second.
If you'd like visit data between domains, you have to do one of the following:
Tag the links between the domains using linkByPost etc... Read the google documentation about it here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/gaTrackingSite
OR I'd recommend looking into Google Analytics on Steroids as they solve this use case more elegantly: https://github.com/CardinalPath/gas#cross-domain
I don't believe that you need the period before the domain name. According to the google analytics guide you should use the following formatting.
<script>
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-12345-1']);
_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'example-petstore.com']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
</script>

i want to only trigger a page hit once a function has been triggered. so can i do the following?
<script type="text/javascript">
function gaCodeParser(parseGAcode){
if(parseGAcode == 'triggerGAcode'){
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxx-xx']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/success-page']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
}
else{
//do nothing
}
}
</script>
Why do you want to capture that ? google analytics will anyway give you efficient metrics like unique views, unique visitors and so on, if you try to fiddle around thier code you will only loose metrics provided by GA. if you still want to go ahead and fork what is given by GA you can still do so but please dont expect GA to give you all metrics.
I would like to count my downloads through Google Analytics events. Unfortunately nothing shows up in my statistics.
This is the GA code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-12345678-1']);
_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'example.com']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>
And my link:
Download
Why it is not working?
According to Google Documentations :
<a href="http://www.example.com/files/map.pdf" onClick="javascript: _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/downloads/map']);">
To verify that _trackPageview is being called correctly, you can check your Top Content report 24-48 hours after the updated tracking code has been executed. You should be able to see the assigned pagename in your report.
