Enable Ecommerce Tracking with Google Tag Manager
-
Hello all,
I am having an issue with tracking the sales on a webshop, and I would like to know how I can enable the ecommerce tracking with Google Tag Manager?
Right now I am tracking the pageviews fine, firing a Universal Analytics tag.
How can I achieve this?
Thank you.

Great thank you, I am sticking with the normal GA method.

Hello.
We found exactly the same thing, the GTM is very complex! As such we came to the same conclusion and decided to also sick with the normal GA system.
I did get GTM working though but found the results it provided to be not a great deal better.
Have a nice day.
Paul Hughes.

Thank you for your answer. I have looked at how I could integrate the ecommerce functionality with GTM, but it is not as easy as I hoped it would be.
The normal way of just flipping a switch in GA, is much easier, so I just think I will stick to that for now. Thank you!

Hello.
If you have your google tag manager code published already on your site all you need to do is add some additional code for the ecommerce features, which can be found at: https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6106097?hl=en
We found that this was not the only way to do this and we found GA's own tracking to work much easier than via Tag Manager.
Paul Hughes.

Increase in Direct traffic, drop in Google traffic, after updating Google Analytics settings.
I made some changes to our Google Analytics property settings (see notes in screenshot). As a result, there was an equal drop in Google traffic and increase in Direct traffic. Has anyone else seen something like this before? I'm wondering if I should revert. jE7buO6

How do I set a filter in Google Analytics?

Google not reading my canonical links
Hi All, New to SEOmoz but so far love it. My reports list tons of duplicate links and webmaster tools does as well. In fact it just updated last night and added several hundred more. I have the canonical tag on my products. Here is a product example page: http://www.stonehousecollection.com/card/funny-christmas-cards/KX296a.html Thank you for the help. Matt

My own brand searches stopped appearing in google
Hi everyone, I've never asked a question here before, so go easy on me 🙂 I've noticed recently that my site is not showing up for my own brand searches anymore, and that my organic google results are way down. For example, it used to be if you would search for "grouvee kings quest 6" you would either see http://www.grouvee.com/news/kings-quest-6-retro-rerun-playthrough-part-1/63/ or http://www.grouvee.com/games/kings-quest-vi-heir-today-gone-tomorrow/69/ show up first in google. Now they're nowhere to be found. Here's another example. If you would search for "grouvee mass effect 3" you'd either see http://www.grouvee.com/games/mass-effect-3/75/ or http://www.grouvee.com/news/mass-effect-3-lets-take-the-earth-back/136/ show up first in google. Once again, nowhere to be found. I could go on with several other examples, but I don't really know what I've done. I 301 redirected 2 pages a few weeks ago because I added a /reviews/ structure to my site and needed to move a couple of pages that used to be under /news/ over to the new section, but those shouldn't have had anything to do with the pages I referenced above. I haven't done any link building really. I submit some of my articles occasionally to places like reddit or n4g, but that's about it. Anyone have any tips or things I should be looking at?

Google Analytics bug?
Hi, I'm getting hits to this page, it's screwing up my Google Analytics stats. I know it's related with Google Website Optimizer, cuz it correlates with the tests I ran at the same dates. I'm just wondering if you've seen this before and what I should do to clean my stats? And is this affecting my SEO? Because it's still registering hits to these pages but I already stopped the tests a while go. Should I disallow this in my robots.txt file? Thanks! ga_bug3.jpg

AW Stats vs Google Analytics
Hey Moz Community, I am looking to get opinions on the best practice for analytics/traffic analysis. From experience I know that AW Stats reads high and Google Analytics reads low for traffic for reason in this article http://www.smartz.com/blog/2009/01/23/analytic-confusion-%E2%80%93-awstats-vs-google-analytics/ It drives me a little nuts how far off both are for some pages. I have one article that shows 100 views (GA) and AW stats shows 5 times that number of views. Any suggestions or systems you recommend? Thanks
