My GA code is on my site but Google Analytics isn't being pulled into SEOMoz...why?
-
The CEO wants me to present an SEO plan next week for three of our sites; however, I got this message when I went to campaign overview tab:
"It appears there's a problem with our connection to your Google Analytics account. Please go to your Settings page to update your connection."
I double-checked the GA code and it's the same on both our site and in SEOMoz...what gives?
I clicked on Choose Your GA Profile->Set GA Account and Profile then got this warning:
"Are you sure you want to change your Google Analytics connection? Changing your connection will reset our cache of your historical GA traffic data."
I need this data pronto so I can set strategy for three sites; any help would be greatly appreciated!

Abe,
Great, thanks for the fix! I was going to try that but, what about that mean warning I got:
"Are you sure you want to change your Google Analytics connection? Changing your connection will reset our cache of your historical GA traffic data."
If I do this, will it kill all our historical data? Will I lose the ability to look back at stuff?
Thanks,
Darrell

Thank you for reaching out to us! I am sorry that you are seeing a problem with your Google Analytics connections. Usually Roger fetches your traffic data with puppy-like enthusiasm, however sometimes there might be a delay between us and Google, so one way to alleviate that is to refresh that connection:
- Head to your campaign settings page on your overview page: http://screencast.com/t/je3mv5DkPbU
- Disconnect your Google Analytics connection: http://screencast.com/t/59NDMB0Ov
- Go back to your settings page and click on "connect account." Please make sure you log into the correct GA account.
- This should let you grab the most current traffic data!
I hope that helps, let me know if you have questions!
Have a great day,
Abe

How accurate is Google analytics at measuring traffic? (Free version)
Hi Guys. When we compare our actual sales to Google analytics conversions it can be way out. Sometimes as much as 50%. Is this the same for the data on traffic? And if so, does the data tend to be out by a similar amount over time? i.e) If we compare this year and last year it give us a good indicator of differences in traffic volume? (albeit not 100% accurate?) Thanks. Isaac.

How long does Google Analytics credit a source?
I was under the impression that GA credits the source with a conversion if it is the source for the current session but it seems that if the user returns later that the source may still be credited. Is this the case? How long does GA credit a source?

Different transaction data social channel on Google Analytics
Hi there, On my ecommerce, in order to find out the number of transactions that came directly from my social channels I go to Acquisition->Channels and then I look at the column Transactions for the Social channel. Surprisingly this number differ from the one that I find under Acquisition->Social->Overview and then I select Transaction under Conversions. Then I look at Last interaction Social Conversions to find the number of transactions. The two quantities are totally different for a month window and they should be the same. Can any of you explain to me the reason why? Thanks and regards

Google Analytics Custom Filter
Hello, Quick question, when I create a custom filter on a profile that already has data collected will that filter apply to already collected data or will the filter only apply from the day it was created? Am doing a custom exclude IP filter. Much thanks,
