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.

Will Google analytics track if instead of using the 3 mandatory variables (source,medium,campaign) I use just source?
Yes, it will track. They're pretty good at parsing partial data. The more you provide, the better you can slice the data later but anything pretty much goes in.DA

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.

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. Let me know, -ShaunSN

Will using both Google Adwords Auto-Tagging AND Manual Tagging with UTM variables create any tracking problems in Google Analytics?
I've done a lot of complex analytics installations, usually cross-domain and including AdWords and manual tagging with conversion tracking of ecommerce transactions. The gclid by default will override the manual UTM values in Analytics so that is what you are looking for. If you are just grabbing the manual tags from the URL for your own purpose, this should be OK. However, if you at some point want to import conversions (say) connected to your manual tag, then you would want to enable UTM overriding the gclid: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033981?hl=en. Do you have AdWords and Analytics accounts linked? Where and how are you tracking commerce conversions, if you are? Do you feel you are getting the insights you need from your current custom reporting? Let me know if I can help with a call about those or further optimization of your analytics capture.

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
