No Google Analytics code on page BUT reporting is active
-
How could Google Analytics be reporting data if my pages don't have the GA code on them?

Hi Mike,
There's some good suggestions by the folks above, but I'm assuming you're still having issues. It sounds like you might need an extra set of eyes, so if you're still stuck with this issue, I'd be happy to take a look for you. Of course, it's all in complete confidence - you can e-mail me at [email protected] if you want to take up the offer.
Hopefully it's just a quirk

You can install the Tag assistant extension for chrome. This helps you figure out what google tags are on your page.
-
FYI an easier way is there is the following tool - http://spyonweb.com/ it will list the domains sharing the GA code.
-
This takes us down another path (won't explain why we have LESS traffic than shown by another tool), however, yes, there seem to be a couple of surprises...showing 5-40 sessions out of MANY.

Could be on a external javascript file. Have you checked those referenced on your site?
-
Try creating a custom report in Google Analytics to view all of the Hostnames that have your GA code.
> Custom Reports
> Metrics Groups (your choice [sessions])
> Dimension Drilldowns
- Hostname
This will give you a report of all the domains that have your GA code - are there any surprises here?
-
No. GA seems to work fine across our large enterprise site, however, there is a directory of 50+ pages for which GA is reporting data yet the snippet seems to be hidden on the page.

Have you gone to your GA and admin>Tracking info >Tracking code. From here it will tell you if its working or not it will also tell you the code. if its working there somewhere on your site is the code its tracking.
Did you set it up? Can you also ask who did and find out how it was set up too?

Another website has your GA code?

Google My Business app search report
What is the deal with the search reports in the Google My Business app? I downloaded this app so prospective customers could message my business, and when I look at the search reports on the app, the results seem nonsensical. According to google analytics my business receives pretty steady traffic every day. Why does the report say that I receive zero visitors one day and 400 the next? (See the screenshot below) 4yLRCHG

How to set goal in Google Analytics that required specific page
So our company has new page that has just implemented (let say "page x" --> not a landing page) and we want to see how many visitors that through "page x " convert into the goal (let say "page y"). If I just make the goal destination like "/page y" the goal number that appear is ALL the visitors who reach "page y" (through or not through "page x"), so how I set the goal setting to only show the visitors who reach "page y" through "page x" ? Thank you

No Search Data in Google Search Console (Search Analytics)
Wondering if anyone has experienced 0 data in their Google Search Console (Search Analytics) and found possible solutions to retrieve data? We have a few clients who, prior to the update to Google Search Console, were getting data regularly in terms of the Search Queries report, but ever since the update to Google Search Console, they are no longer receiving data. As an FYI, both the www and non-www versions of the website are verified in Search Console and the XML Sitemaps and Robots.txt files are clean, tested and working fine. Any insights or experience of sites showing 0 data in Search Analytics? Any possible solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Why am i seeing google.inc in analytics as direct traffic? Bug?
Recently i have seen two clients sites see a spike in direct traffic coming from google.inc. Is this a bot/bug which i should filter out. Just a bit confused why google.inc has visited our clients site 676 times! Any insight would be great.

Google Analytics Showing Inflated Product Revenue
Hi- For the month of Feb on two of our sites we are seeing inflated product revenues. I have not seen this before and I am not having any luck searching for answers. Here is the issue: Product B sells for $159.95 For the month of Feb we sold 3 thus revenue should be ~$479.85 GA is showing Product B's revenue at $3,360.00 I read online that sometimes folks will bookmark the receipt page and that can cause this and we would need to put a catch in place for this but I am guessing this is not the case as it is happening on two sites. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Panda 3.8 and Google query report
Today I was plugging the SEOMoz Google change log into my analytics and noticed that our site took an impression jump (30%) on the day Panda 3.8 was released but also, if I'm reading the chart right, a drop in keyword avg. ranking. Does this make any sense or am I misunderstanding the chart? googleseomozq.jpg
