GA Event: to use this feature visit: EVENT-TRACKING.COM
-
Hi guys,
Two days ago our Google Analytics Event tracker began to show this Event/Label, etc.
I cannot find its source. Anybody knows what is this about?
Thanks for your answers. Ana

Thanks very much, Envoy! :)))))))
-
been seeing many others in the industry complain lately about referrer spam getting out of control. And found it in my own site's analytics today. Quick search brought me here. So thank you Analia for posting the question, and thank you Envoy for the link on how to deal with it since .htaccess won't work in this case!
-
I also got this on a client site. Thanks for the advice
-
Thanks a lot Michael. Very useful article!
-
Just saw it in one of my accounts for the first time today.
Here is a good article about removing it with a hostname filter: http://www.ohow.co/stop-www-event-tracking-com-referral-spam/
Good luck!

Oh bummer! In that case, it's like that evil ghost spam crud.
We haven't seen that URL as event spam yet but only as referral spam. Only a matter of time... ugh.

Unfortunately that's not going to work. I removed the tracking code yesterday and guess what - I had 30 visits & 3 events measured today. These false measures are not generated on the site so blocking them in htaccess is not going to work.

We're seeing a lot of spam referrals from this url as well.
I recommend adding it to your .htaccess file. There's no reason to even let spam from that source mess with your website or stats.

Thanks Dirk. I think I can deal with the false event in my reports. I'm glad it's not a hack in our website code.
Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it.

Analia,
It seems to be a new kind of analytics spam - just checked an analytics account for a site which is under construction (only one page - no real visitors & no events set-up).
I saw the same event appearing in my stats. Others see the same thing as well: http://www.redcardinal.ie/general/07-05-2015/just-when-you-thought-ga-referrer-spam-was-bad/Not sure how these clean these events from the reporting.

Thanks Martijn. The brower is (not set), weird. This is the first time I see an event we have not set in GA. My concern is about website security, can this be somebody hacking our website's code or it's just a GA problem?
-
Hi Ana,
Check the browser + version that they're using. Our analytics set up also includes very weird events that we never set.

Domain change from .co.uk to .com - do you add .com to the referral exclusion in GA?
Hi Mozzers, Just wanted to double check that when a website domain changes from .co.uk to .com - do you add .com to the referral exclusion in GA? Do you also keep the .co.uk version in the list too? I have updated the property settings to .com Thanks Anthony

What type of links/redirect is Yahoo! using?
So I'm trying to figure out exactly what type redirect or hyperlinking Yahoo! is using on their article pages. For example:
Reporting & Analytics | | William.Lau
https://shopping.yahoo.com/blogs/fashionate/spring-clean-your-beauty-routine--10-tips-on-looking-fresh-this-season-000058218.html Hover over an external link, it shows you the ending URL. Right or left click it, it gives you a 302 redirect. When you actually left click it, it adds and "id" attribute, I assume for tracking. However, when you left click the the hyperlink, it no longer shows as a 302. I have limited working knowledge of web development techniques, so anyone with advance knowledge or have actually done this, it'd be helpful to understand this more.0 -
No data available for example.com in WMT. What to do?
Hi, Our problem is simple: we have statistics data for www.example.com but some data is missing for example.com (eg."links to your site", "structured data, "html improvements") . However, "search queries", "index status" and some other data is available for example.com. The problem is that we have over 5000 subdomains and we see no information about them.(especially links pointing to them). We followed every advice given by Google but doesn't seem to work: -Adding www.example.com and example.com in WMT -Setting www.example.com as the preffered domain -Using DNS verification to verify our site What do we have to do? Thank you, Axello

GA stopped tracking traffic, suddenly, why¿? :-/
2 days ago GA stopped receiving data. It only stopped for one account of all my projects. At this moment there are 5 persons navigating the site and these days there where numerous visitors as they contacted the support team thru the site. GA says that it's receiving the code, hw, I checked it twice. The tracking code is located below the footer, in the body. It was there for few years.... I also checked if there is some js conflict, negative. Is there something that could make the tracking to stop? Does anybody experienced similar problems¿? Should I be worried...¿? (and with SEOmoz server with issues not sure when will see new results.......) EDIT: In Web Master Tools I see results for indexing, with yesterday date, so I assume that the site crawling is ok and must be GA issue.

Use Google Spreadsheet for Top Keywords Report
I've been using the super-awesome Google doc described here http://www.seomoz.org/blog/custom-reporting-using-google-analytics-and-google-docs for all kinds of reporting and I've customized it quite a bit. But I can't figure out how to feed text-based fields from GA into this doc. For example, can I make it so this doc spits out top 10 keywords? Thanks!

I am showing no (not provided) visits in GA. Is that possible?
When reviewing Organic search traffic on my site, there no (not provided) visits. Not one. I searched for the term while viewing all keyword visits and still nothing! I find that hard to believe that is possible with 6,000 monthly visits. Is something wrong? Help?!
