Google Analytics - April Search Report Data Gone For All Clients - Anyone Else Seeing This?
-
Hey everyone,
In the last hour I was doing some SEO referral reportingin Google Analytics and discovered that my April data was completely gone (flat lined to zero). Specifically, if i select a date range for any point in april and select search from the advanced segments area I am seeing this issue.
This is happening for ALL of my active clients... anyone else seeing this?

I am seeing the same issue. This appears to be a bug with the search segment. I just added a question about this in the GA discussion forum. Hopefully we should be able to resolve this.

Ah. Thanks Dan, now I got the same results. This definitely appears to be a Google-based bug and is happening gloabally: http://www.analyticsevangelist.com/google-analytics/google-analytics-segmentation-data-missing-for-april-2011/

Well what the heck - I'm seeing exactly this as well. It seems to be limited only to the "Search" advanced segment for the month of April, just as you described. The data is still there, and viewing search traffic via "Traffic Sources" remains accurate - it's just the advanced segmentation that appears busted. This applies to my custom segments as well.

I'm still seeing April data so it could be a node in Google's cluster. Do you have this problem if you access GA via Adwords (if that's an option for you)? Or vice versa, accessing GA directly? It shouldn't make any sort of difference, but you never know.
Other suggestions: you've turned on a segment that doesn't have any visits, you have contradictory segmentation highlighted that equals no visits, you have a non existent comparison running... anything along those lines.

Can you track two Google Analytics Accounts on one site?
If you have a site that had an old analytics account and then implemented a new one is it possible to run tracking code that records to both accounts without causing your site or data issues? We are doing this so we don't loose data at any point - ideally it wouldn't have been split between the two but making one redundant isn't an option. Ideally we would have merged the data from both accounts and had one - however the research we have done points to this not being a possibility - unless one of you guys knows different? It would be great if anyone has experience on any this.. Thanks

Has anyone experienced Google Analytics track the page visit to a "thank you" page, but not the goal conversion?
Has anyone experienced where Google Analytics would track the page visit to a "thank you" page, but not the goal conversion that should result? The goal had worked for a long time as it is as just a goal url with head match. No funnel. Not case sensitive. For about four days now, no conversions have been recorded, but Google Analytics shows hundreds of people visited the page that should trigger the goal. Additionally, we have received the hundreds of leads. A Screaming Frog search shows the code is embedded throughout the site. For the interested, the GA code looks like (and the 8 Xs are the correct number on the site): Am I missing something?

View entrance keyworsd for a subpage in google analytics
I have an element from ringcentral that is tracked by google analytics, yet for the life of me I cannot figure out to how to view the entrance keywords to that element. I can view the search metric and see which keywords and how many visits from each keyword onto the site in general, but how do I see which keywords were actually responsible for this 'click to call' code which has GA? I can see the total number of clicks into that code, but not which keywords led to it.

Regular Expressions in Google Analytics
I want to use the Google Analytics landing page reports to look at the bounce rate of top level pages excluding the homepage. So pages with urls: www.example.com/example Does anyone know a regular expression that will allow me to do this? Just to clarify I do not want to look at the bounce rate of the homepage or any pages deeper than www.example.com/example e.g: www.example.com/example/example www.example.com/example/example/example etc Thanks in advance
