Cover my tracks / two websites on the same Analytics
-
Hi,
I've got 2 websites and I like one of them to make some links to the other one.
These two sites are on the same Google Analytics account. They have been set up 3 month ago and they have some articles on them.
I've heard that Google can see that those websites are related in my Analytics and use this information to give less power to the link I could make between them.
What do think about it and what do you recommend me ? Shoud I closed the Analytics account ? Or down one of the website and rebuilt it whith a different domain / host / analytics ?
The thing is if I delete one of the website i'll be force to republish the articles, because there are links on it, and they're part of a deal I've already made.
Thank you

i would not worry, just go and make the links, i would worry if you ae linking say 100 websites, but for one, just go ahead.

Pandora in Google Analytics
Hi Mozers, in Google Analytics our ads are registering a 10 second page duration and a 90% bounce rate, which is pretty atrocious. My questions are: Organic page duration is 3:15 minutes, and Social + Referral are similar. Yet Pandora is bringing the average time on site way down, to less than a minute. Will those paid ad metrics be factored to the User Behavior and therefore negative affect our overall rankings? In other words does Google now see our page duration as less than a minute? The Pandora rep says that Google Analytics and Pandora have "systemic issues" such that GA is very inaccurate with Pandora metrics. I find that difficult to believe. Any insights here? Thanks all! Jane

Is my tracking code incorrect?
I inherited a website that has a host of issues. I set up Goal Conversions for lead generation and am getting this URL listed as a Goal Completion Location /l/24672/2014-07-31/b4dg5 I can tell it is a date but have no other insight into what or where this page is. Does anyone have experience with this and can offer a fix? A related question is how can I find the URL that triggers the Goal Conversion. I tried editing the goal but it doesn't show the URL anywhere. And the Goal Completion Location is sort of a misnomer because it lists the URL prior to the completion. Thanks!

Weird Math in GA Ecommerce Tracking
Hi everybody. I've recently discovered that I have a problem with the ecommerce tracking on a client's website. The client sells concert tickets at an average price of $10 per ticket. The custom ecommerce platform they use is kind of unusual; the same product often has different SKUs, but not always. This isn't associated with different seats, etc. In fact, I don't yet know why they've set it up that way. The problem that I'm facing is this: the data in Analytics is calculating the "average price" of a SKU item as the total price. If, for example, the actual average price for a SKU item is $10 and four of those SKU items were sold, Analytics will tell me the average price is $40. This means that the total revenue for that SKU shows up as $40 x 4 = $160. Needless to say, this is enormously skewing the data. Here's a screenshot. Note, it's the same product: http://screencast.com/t/JyLQkb3jzz6s The total revenue for ticket sales is way off because of this, and I'm not sure if it's a problem with the ecommerce tracking code in Analytics, or something that the ecomm platform is doing. Have any of you experienced anything like this, and if so is it a fix in Analytics? Thank you!

URL Structure Q - /UniqueURL/ProductA or /SubcategoryURL/ProductA?
Hi Mozers, I have a niche ecommerce site http://www.ecustomfinishes.com that sells custom barn wood furniture. I have about 600 products online. 2 weeks ago I started rewriting my urls from /subcategoryurl/ProductA to /UNIQUEURL/productA for my individual products, For example for my subcategory farm tables (150 products) I had /rustic-farm-tables/productA, /rustic-farm-tables/ProductB ...."rustic-farm-table" about 150 times. 2 weeks ago I started changing the 150x "/rustic-farm-table/" to a more descriptive URL such as /white-farm-table/producA /rustic-square-dining-table/ProductB /Black-harvest-table/ProductC Here is why I am need advice: I have 1181 pages, the page with the most entrances with "rustic-farm-tables" is #31/1181 based on entrances. the 2nd most is #71/1181 Alternatively, I have 13 table product pages such a as /12ft-Rustic-Farm-Dining-Table-p/12-foot-table-with-inlay.htm" that get more entrances than any product that includes "rustic-farm-tables" Since changing the urls to be product specific, my overall traffic has dropped 20%!!! So here is my question: do i continue to have the /UNIQUEURL/product be unique to the product, which is consistant amongst my best preforming pages, yet has dropped my traffic 20% in the last 2 weeks, OR do i keep /SAME-URL/product which written as a best practice, and be happy with the traffic I had? Could the 20% drop just be a temporary shock? Why would this happen? This would be a good long tail/head term experiment. Try to get more head terms, or do what you can do focus on long tail. I hope i was able to explain this well, I say follow the best practices of my best preforming pages, however the 20% drop has me worried. Thank you in advance for your help
