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.

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

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 can I accurately tell if the "Direct" traffic conversions I'm seeing in GA MCF is actually coming from my "Paid Search" (Adwords UTM) campaigns?
Make sure you've setup advanced analytics. You'll get a better picture of which conversions were direct, and which ones were assisted by another channel. Use tags and make sure your urls include all the detailed parameters - note that savvy users might truncate that link, so use a link shortener (like bit.ly) to mask it.PH

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
