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.

Uptick in not tracked conversions / anyone have a list of things that google analytics will not track
There seems to have been an uptick in users on our site not being tracked in Google Analytics cause I see a lot more un-tracked revenue in the last 6 months then I used to. I know analytics is still working as it has been tracking a normal amount of visits but I assumed there might be a reason less would be actually showing up in analytics (mabye a change is what is being reported as organic). I know a lot of stuff goes into "not provided" such as logged in search and stuff like that but is there a list of all of the ones that go into not provided and all that just do not get tracked (javascript not enabled, iOS?). If it could be something else as well let me know. Thanks for the help!

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!

AW Stats vs Google Analytics
Hey Moz Community, I am looking to get opinions on the best practice for analytics/traffic analysis. From experience I know that AW Stats reads high and Google Analytics reads low for traffic for reason in this article http://www.smartz.com/blog/2009/01/23/analytic-confusion-%E2%80%93-awstats-vs-google-analytics/ It drives me a little nuts how far off both are for some pages. I have one article that shows 100 views (GA) and AW stats shows 5 times that number of views. Any suggestions or systems you recommend? Thanks

Track Individual Organic Orders In Google Analytics
I was wondering if there is a way to track information about the individual order in google analytics. Currently I can see all of the organic traffic, rev, transactions, etc, but I would like to be able to know what those individual order numbers are, as well as be able to place test orders to see if organic tracking is correctly working. Does anyone know of a good blog walkthrough for this, or have any suggestions? Thanks (again individual organic order data not all data from a specific search engine or keyword).
