MenuHow to setup ecommerce tracking in Google Analytics if ecommerce platform is setup on subdomain?
Answers
always save the original profile as a backup.
that said, this is an easy problem to solve. you just need to use this line of code above the "trackpageview" line....
_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'example.com']);
here's an easy tool to help http://gaconfig.com/one-domain-with-subdomains/
here's more details for your developer https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/gaTrackingSite
Hi, you should use one property with the same UA number on both www and subdomain pages. Enable ecommerce tracking from the profile settings.
Here's the best article on subdomain tracking I've found so far:
http://www.roirevolution.com/blog/2011/01/google_analytics_subdomain_tracking.php
Enable e-commerce for the main profile. If the sub domain is part of the current main site, you should not have to do any cross-domain tracking either.

What's the benefit of being a Google partner?
Being a Google Partner has many benefits, but they revise them all the time. Google seems to protect their intellectual property heavy, so as a partner, you can display their partnership logo to your potential clients. Also, when they roll out new products in beta, you know before the public does. As Google products go, that's a huge benefit. They provide enhanced support when you need it as well. I also do a lot of public speaking, so the one benefit public speakers enjoy is that they let you speak at their events; a very valuable benefit to us public speakers ;) I hope this answers the question.

Should I set up multiple adword accounts for multiple websites or just one adword account for multiple websites?
It all depends on whether they are all selling the same thing to the same persona. If yes, then combine all the campaigns into one adwords account, which feeds into one analytics account. That way they can get feedback on the effectiveness of different keywords, ads, etc. more quickly (because there will be more data, from all the different websites, all in one place, for a particular keyword). If they are each selling different things, or to different personas, then don't combine their accounts, because it will just make things confusing and not useful from an analysis perspective.LV

How do I start a Web-Analysis?
Google Analytics is the best free tool out there for this. Make sure that you are focusing your report on conversions - how many/what percentage of website visitors are taking action (filling out a form, buying a product, etc.). If you're interested in paying for help, you should check out Moz or HubSpot, but Google Analytics is your best free option for web reporting. They also provide some social reporting - which social networks are driving traffic to the site and which network referrals are leading to the most conversions. Good luck!CC

Google Experiments: How do you track ecommerce transactions from a variation including transactions from follow up emails?
If the transaction happens on the same website, as the test, you don't need to do anything. The user has a cookie that attributes the version of the test to the revenue tracking in your testing software (Optimizely, VWO). Once you connect the Google Analytics with testing software, you should be OK to go. If this is not the case, then you need to setup two email subscriber lists, one for each version of the test. Then manually tag email links in the emails to attribute the ecommerce revenue directly to the version of the test.OI

I bought an out-of-business competitor's domain, which still ranks in Google. What is the best way to use the domain?
Do you have any interest in maintaining the domain? Is it getting regular traffic? To maintain that, you'll want to get some relevant content on the domain as quickly as possible. From there, you can decide what you want to do with it. If you just bought it for nostalgia or because it belonged to your competitor, and have no intention of doing something it with, you can do a redirect as the Google rank really won't benefit you.
