GA Event: to use this feature visit: EVENT-TRACKING.COM

Hi guys,
Two days ago our Google Analytics Event tracker began to show this Event/Label, etc.
I cannot find its source. Anybody knows what is this about?
Thanks for your answers. Ana

Thanks very much, Envoy! :)))))))
-
been seeing many others in the industry complain lately about referrer spam getting out of control. And found it in my own site's analytics today. Quick search brought me here. So thank you Analia for posting the question, and thank you Envoy for the link on how to deal with it since .htaccess won't work in this case!

I also got this on a client site. Thanks for the advice
-
Thanks a lot Michael. Very useful article!
-
Just saw it in one of my accounts for the first time today.
Here is a good article about removing it with a hostname filter: http://www.ohow.co/stop-www-event-tracking-com-referral-spam/
Good luck!

Oh bummer! In that case, it's like that evil ghost spam crud.
We haven't seen that URL as event spam yet but only as referral spam. Only a matter of time... ugh.

Unfortunately that's not going to work. I removed the tracking code yesterday and guess what - I had 30 visits & 3 events measured today. These false measures are not generated on the site so blocking them in htaccess is not going to work.

We're seeing a lot of spam referrals from this url as well.
I recommend adding it to your .htaccess file. There's no reason to even let spam from that source mess with your website or stats.

Thanks Dirk. I think I can deal with the false event in my reports. I'm glad it's not a hack in our website code.
Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it.

Analia,
It seems to be a new kind of analytics spam - just checked an analytics account for a site which is under construction (only one page - no real visitors & no events set-up).
I saw the same event appearing in my stats. Others see the same thing as well: http://www.redcardinal.ie/general/07-05-2015/just-when-you-thought-ga-referrer-spam-was-bad/Not sure how these clean these events from the reporting.

Thanks Martijn. The brower is (not set), weird. This is the first time I see an event we have not set in GA. My concern is about website security, can this be somebody hacking our website's code or it's just a GA problem?
-
Hi Ana,
Check the browser + version that they're using. Our analytics set up also includes very weird events that we never set.

How to filter out traffic from subdomain using regex?
Hi There, We have a test server that lives on a subdomain which we'd like to filter out in Google Analytics. We're using the hostname filter but are having trouble understanding the regex needed, we're using this as the filter pattern: .domain.com. Will that work? The profile is new so we can't test the pattern. Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated. Cheers Ben

Weird Math in GA Ecommerce Tracking
Hi everybody. I've recently discovered that I have a problem with the ecommerce tracking on a client's website. The client sells concert tickets at an average price of $10 per ticket. The custom ecommerce platform they use is kind of unusual; the same product often has different SKUs, but not always. This isn't associated with different seats, etc. In fact, I don't yet know why they've set it up that way. The problem that I'm facing is this: the data in Analytics is calculating the "average price" of a SKU item as the total price. If, for example, the actual average price for a SKU item is $10 and four of those SKU items were sold, Analytics will tell me the average price is $40. This means that the total revenue for that SKU shows up as $40 x 4 = $160. Needless to say, this is enormously skewing the data. Here's a screenshot. Note, it's the same product: http://screencast.com/t/JyLQkb3jzz6s The total revenue for ticket sales is way off because of this, and I'm not sure if it's a problem with the ecommerce tracking code in Analytics, or something that the ecomm platform is doing. Have any of you experienced anything like this, and if so is it a fix in Analytics? Thank you!

GA profile when migration domains
I'm migrating a .co.uk domain to .com and am trying to decide if I should reuse the same Google Profile (if I can?) or create a new one. If I choose to reuse the same profile so it has historical data, does anyone know if it's just a matter of keeping the same UA profile identifier in place on the page? Or do I have to change anything on the actual profile in GA as well to say "start pulling data from .com now"?

Why does this domain never pass 150 organic visits from Google?
Hello, The domain http://bit.ly/fwTEsT has been out there for one year, it has about half million indexed pages. We made a lot of changes that could affect SEO and I don't know if Google likes it but the one thing it's sure is that in one whole year the organic visits from Google never got pass 150 visits per day. We've got about 2000 PPC visits but organic don't go up. I'd like to know what our main errors would be so we can focus more on fixing them. Thank you, Alexandru.
