No Google Analytics code on page BUT reporting is active

How could Google Analytics be reporting data if my pages don't have the GA code on them?

Hi Mike,
There's some good suggestions by the folks above, but I'm assuming you're still having issues. It sounds like you might need an extra set of eyes, so if you're still stuck with this issue, I'd be happy to take a look for you. Of course, it's all in complete confidence - you can e-mail me at david.sottimano@distilled.net if you want to take up the offer.
Hopefully it's just a quirk

You can install the Tag assistant extension for chrome. This helps you figure out what google tags are on your page.
-
FYI an easier way is there is the following tool - http://spyonweb.com/ it will list the domains sharing the GA code.
-
This takes us down another path (won't explain why we have LESS traffic than shown by another tool), however, yes, there seem to be a couple of surprises...showing 5-40 sessions out of MANY.

Could be on a external javascript file. Have you checked those referenced on your site?
-
Try creating a custom report in Google Analytics to view all of the Hostnames that have your GA code.
> Custom Reports
> Metrics Groups (your choice [sessions])
> Dimension Drilldowns
- Hostname
This will give you a report of all the domains that have your GA code - are there any surprises here?
-
No. GA seems to work fine across our large enterprise site, however, there is a directory of 50+ pages for which GA is reporting data yet the snippet seems to be hidden on the page.

Have you gone to your GA and admin>Tracking info >Tracking code. From here it will tell you if its working or not it will also tell you the code. if its working there somewhere on your site is the code its tracking.
Did you set it up? Can you also ask who did and find out how it was set up too?

Another website has your GA code?

Keeping Google Analytics Data when Moving to Subdomain
Hey All, Against my objections a client has decided to move an existing site into a subdomain while putting up a new site on the main domain. My question revolves around Google Analytics, how do I make sure that I don't lose historical data on the domain before it moves to a subdomain? We're going to be doing a redesign of the old site and I need to keep the historical data so I can prioritize content. What do I need to do? Or will Google analytics recognize the URL's and still attribute the data to those URL's or will I have a separate set of data based on the new URL (with the subdomain). Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks!

Google analytics Goals and Funnels??
Hey - how's things? I've got 2 goals setup, each of which use the same thank you page but with different required funnels. The results have been identical for the last few weeks - which tells me I've got something wrong!! The first goal has a contact form on every page in the /products/ directory set up like this:

Google Analytics Site Search to new sub-domain
Hi Mozzers, I'm setting up Google's Site Search on a website. However this isn't for search terms, this will be for people filling in a form and using the POST action to land on a results page. This is similar to what is outlined at http://support.google.com/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1012264 ('<a class="zippy zippy-collapse">Setting Up Site Search for POST-Based Search Engines').</a> However my approach is different as my results appear on a sub-domain of the top level domain. Eg.. user is on www.domain.com/page.php user fills in form submits user gets taken to results.domain.com/results.php The issue is with the suggested code provided by Google as copied below.. Firstly, I don't use query strings on my results page so I would have to create an artificial page which shouldn't be a problem. But what I don't know is how the tracking will work across a sub-domain without the _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', '.domain.com']); code. Can this be added in? Can I also add Custom Variables? Does anyone have experience of using Site Search across a sub-domain perhaps to track quote form values? Many thanks!

Best way to generate analytics reports for listing style website
I'm working on a website that includes dedicated pages for ~40 local businesses, and I need to be able to generate and export some basic reports I can send to each business. The data I need for each report is split between general sitewide data: total number of visitors to the site for month. number of visitors to each main category page what country they are from (main countries) - top 5 traffic source / keywords avg time on site As well as specific data for each individual page: how many people viewed specific total pages Time spent on individual page. Would this be possible with custom reports in analytics? I can see the number of different reports being difficult to maintain, especially as site grows. Anyone had expereince on a similar site of ideas on the best way to do this? Thanks

Google Analytics and backlinking
Let say I have my main site and my secondary site that is optimized for a slightly different set of keywords (nonetheless still relevant to my main site). I have several links from a secondary site to my main site. Secondary site is on a different C-block. Do you ladies and gentlemen think that if I put both websites under the same google analytics account, Google is going to penalize me or remove some of the juice that is flowing from secondary site to the main site because it would detect through GA that both sites belong to the same entity?

Google Analytics - Intelligence Custom Alerts
When you add an intelligence custom alert does it look at the history and backdate issues? I've added a few custom alerts, even basic ones like my homepage gets 5 views, create an alert. I either need to wait a day or something is going wrong. Cheers.
