I made a helper for my javascript in order to track some ajax events, here's a short version of what it's set up to be
analytics:{
active: false,
gaq: null,
init: function(gaq){
this.active = true;
this.gaq = gaq;
$('a[href^=\"http://\"]').live('click', function() {
helper.analytics.trackPageview('/outgoing/' + $(this).attr('href'));
return true;
});
},
trackPageview: function(page){
if(this.active === false){
return;
}
this.gaq.push(['_trackPageview',page]);
}
},
And I have the common google analytics setup
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxxx-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);
})();
$(document).ready( function() {
helper.analytics.init(_gaq);
});
</script>
However in the console logging _gaq results in an object. logging helper.analytics.gaq results in an array, whith new pageviews appended, but the pageview is not being tracked in google analytics.
Why isn't _gaq being passed to the helper by reference?
When creating the script tag, the ga snippet sets the async attribute to true. Therefore, it'll load independently from the body. You'll need to bind an event handler to the ga script tag's onload event. Something like so:
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.onload = function(){
herlper.analytics.init(_gaq);
};
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've not tested this, but I think it might work.
Do you see any syntax errors either in Crome dev tools console or Firefox & firebug?
You've got a '." after the initial script tag.

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);
})();
as the title says, how do I track a website with Google Analystics from two different accounts?
I made some research about this topic and found alot of old posts which were saying that you should include the different tracking codes at each side. But this can't be the best way, right?
Is it possible to do something like this?
Old Code:
<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>
New Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxxx-1']);
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxxx-2']);
_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>
Thanks in advance Jack
Yes, its possible without updating any old code. you have to add other account to primary account:
Click Admin at the top of Google Analytic page.
To show three column Account, PROPERTY, VIEW.
Select USER MANAGEMENT from Account, PROPERTY, VIEW base on access permission.
Enter Email address and assign roll.
check your secondary email address website tracking same as primary email address.
You can track the same page on two different GA accounts using this code:
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(
['_setAccount', 'UA-12345678-1'], // First account
['_trackPageview'],
['b._setAccount', 'UA-87654321-1'], // Second account
['b._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);
})();
This has always worked for us.
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'.
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.
