Google analytics - landing pages
-
Hello, I have a website and it contains landing pages.
after tracking and analyzing the data in Google Analytics , I found out that the traffic for the whole site is affected by the visits to the landing page.
I mean, the bounce rate is less than one minute. this is because users fill their details in the landing pages and leave my website.
to improve my website, I need clear data about the traffic, bounce rate etc. in my website. I also need
can you help me solve this problem
- I thought about create another account in Google Analytics and set it to my websites pages (not including the landing pages). and keep the current code for the landing pages.
my question is regarding this: Is it legal to use 2 different GA code (each one of them belong to different account) in the same domain ?
- can you provide me with more information about Multi Account in Google Analytics, and how can I use it to divide the traffic in my website between the traffic and the data for the landing pages and for the website itself ?

you will just have to pay around the the include and exclude filters to get the results you want. If you could "mark" your landing page commonly that you can then exclude them filters eg a string of text or something, You will just have to have a good think about it
Sorry I could not have been more helpful, but there are loads of guide on how to use filters in this way on the internet.

I created a segment in my Google Analytics account to show data without the visits to the landing pages.
when I checked which URL google analytics excludes I saw some pages that are not "Landing Pages" like the pages for another language www.domain.com/fra also "contact us","Agreement","Log in page", "Create Account" in addition to many pages that are not Landing pages.My question is: is there any way to remove these pages from the Landing Pages group that google analytics created ?
- Can I edit this group and remove pages that are not Landing pages so I get clear data ?

How can i create an absolute separation from the traffic I get to the landing pages and to my site? I just want to split the data to 2 sections:
1. Data only about the visitors in my site
2. Data only about the visitors in my landing pages.
I remind you guys that unfortunately in this time I have the same tacking ID in my landing pages and in my main site.
My goal is to separate the data and get clear data about each one of the visits to the landing pages and to the vists to my website.It’s not better to move the landing pages to subdomain and create a new google analytics code for them?

I'm not sure there's a penalty for using 2 lots of code but there's no need to as Paddy says.
The only time I have used two lots of code is when a third party has set up Analytics and can't or won't hand Admin rights over so the two codes were used so that the website owner could start to collects their own data without losing the historical third party stats.

don't put the 2 different analytics codes on your page!
What you can do is use segments or profile filters (you can have multi profile for one site) to split your data up

Direct traffic spam on Google Analytics: how can you identify and filter it?
One of my smaller clients noticed a huge jump in direct traffic visits last month. The bounce rate was around 97% so I'm pretty certain that most of the traffic was illegitimate. I know how to filter out spam referrals and organic keywords in Google Analytics. However I'm not sure what to do about direct traffic spam. Are there recommendations for filtering this out? Can I identify spam IP addresses?

Why is Google Analytics reporting 20% fewer goals than Unique pageviews of same thank you page?
This is really puzzling me and my research has not thrown out the answer. I have always understood URL goals to be unique pageviews of the thank you page you are tracking. UPVs and goals should both only be counted once per session... Has anyone else seen this issue? Goals were not set up historically so I wanted to use unique pageviews of the thank you page for year on year comparisons, but 20% is a big difference! Background There are multiple pages to track so goal is set up using Regex There is no mistake in the goal set up (honest!) The goal URLs all match the unique pageview URLs, there are no rogue URLs There has been no change to the site or the tracking set up Data is not being sampled It's a lead gen site in an area where multiple enquiries within one visit would be very unusual Thanks in advance!

Alternative to Google Analytics
Hey Everyone, My company has just changed the order processing software we are using and it's causing some issues with Google Analytics conversion funnel tracking. Specifically, there is one point in the funnel where making certain selections (which about half the people do) causes the page to reload. Also, on the login/register page, if they miss a field, the software tells them missed the field, but loads a new page which has a different URL which is not a part of the funnel when a mistake like that isn't made. All of this is causing Google Analytics to report people as leaving the conversion funnel when they really haven't. About a third of the traffic is being shown as exiting the funnel with the exit URL being the exact same URL as the step they are supposedly exiting from (example: the visitor enters on page1, moves to page2, Google is showing that they exit on page2 and go to...page2. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to deal with this in Google Analytics? If not, do you have a recommendation of an alternative analytics program which can deal with the situations mentioned above? PS - Changing the way the checkout software works does not appear to be a viable option. Kurt Steinbrueck

Cross domain tracking setup in Google Analytics
I really need help on this, I can't figure it out. I need to track a few subdomains and and couple of seperate domains in one profile in Google Analytics. So I have: www.maindomain.co.uk sub1.maindomain.co.uk sub2.maindomain.co.uk www.anotherdomain.co.uk So the code I have placed on all of these domains is as following: I have then set up seperate profiles which filter out the data by domain. E.g. for sub1.maindomain.co.uk, I have user the fitler: Custom filter > Include > Filter Field = Hostname > Filter Pattern = sub1.maindomain.co.uk For the www.anotherdomain.co.uk, I have used the same filter. Now this all seems to be tracking visits and unique visitors okay, but I always have a very low pageview count, less than visits and sometimes zero. Could anyone shed any light on what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance mozzers.

How to track what people type on my text boxes on Google Analytics?
Hi there! In our website, we have a few text boxes that users need to use to complete the goal. The boxes aren't search boxes, but it's still important to us to track what people type on it. I'm looking for a way to track the data through the "event" feature in Google Analytics, but it seems that this tracker can only calculate clicks, or video views etc. Does anyone knows how to track do it?

If I change the URL of a page, but the old page canonicalizes to the new, do I need to change my Analytics goals to get data?
I changed the URLs of some pages recently (because the same thing that affects the internal anchor text also affects the URL - grr...) but considered it not a big deal because even if I looked at the source code of the old URL, the canonical tag was now pointing to the new one. The question is - if I had URL destination goals set up for those URLs in Google Anlaytics, do I now have to change them? Or does Google somehow know that anyone getting to the new URL is the equivalent of someone getting to the old URL because of the canonical tag that exists on the old URL source code? I still do see goal conversions for some of the old URLs even since I changed them - but it could be that people are still somehow finding the old URL somewhere - or that Google only reindexed it a week or so after I made the change. Any light to shed? Thanks in advance, Aviva B
