Enable Demographics and Interests reports using analytics.js
-
Hi,
I may be going mad, but i can't find the code to activate demographics and interest reports if you are using the new analytics code. I can only find the code adjust for the old code.
Any one know where to find this?
Thanks
Paul

Hi David
Thanks for your response, much appreciated.
My query was does tag manager replace all other code or does it go in as well?
I'll explain more.
I have this code from analytics put in the site:

Hi Paul,
Okay, maybe we can take this one step at a time. Have you substituted your ga.js code for the new doubleclick.js?
There's one line in the Javascript that looks like this: ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://' : 'http://') + 'stats.g.doubleclick.net/dc.js';
Okay, so if that's all done, head to your GA account.
- Select the profile you wish you enable demographics reports, and click on Admin (top right)
- In the middle column, click profile settings
- Enable demographics reports, and wait a day or two for data to flow in.
I see you might be using Tag manager, if so read this:
"Please note that if you use Google Tag Manager, you should select "Add Display Advertiser Support" in your Google Analytics tag template; and if you are using a 3rd party tag management tool Google Analytics might not be able to validate your code, but you should be able to skip validation and the reports will work." - Source http://online-behavior.com/analytics/demographics

After doing more research, it appears 'Tag Manager' replaces adwords and analytics code old or new.
Can anyone comfirm this is the correct way to go about this, as it doesn't seem obvious from the google documentation.
i.e. why do google promotoe a new analytics code rather than push people towards tag manager is it does everything?

Google analytics : exclude traffic to a subdomain
Hi, I have a website with a client access on a subdomain. I want to exclude the traffic to that subdomain because it messes up my conversion goal for the main site. Per example, 2 out of 10 visitors are existing clients that want to access to my SaaS product. The 8 other are potential clients. I want to exclude the 2 clients from my stats so I could have the good conversion percentage for my free trial for the other 8 potential clients. Thanks in advance for your help!

Discrepancy between FB PPC and Google Analytics
This question was answered in 2011 here: http://moz.com/community/q/facebook-ppc-number-of-clicks-according-to-fb-different-than-visits-in-analytics. Wanted to post it to the community to see if anyone had any new thoughts in the last 3 years. I have been running campaigns on Facebook and seeing dramatic discrepancies between Facebook and GA's numbers. For example, I ran a Facebook ad campaign for a chiropractor where FB shows 35 clicks to the website, but GA only shows 2! An attorney ran a Facbook promotion, got 4 clients who actually filled out a questionnaire online, but GA only showed 2 visitors exiting off the form completion page. Is this because the users did not have JS/cookies enabled? Something else? What is the recommended work around? Tracking URL?

Blog Analytics broke for two weeks. How do I account for these hits in my monthly report?
The Analytics on my blog broke for about two weeks before I realized it. I need to come up with some estimated numbers for total pageviews, referrals, direct hits, etc to add to my monthly SEM report. I took the average of the past four 2 week periods to come up with the number of hits. Should I just add this number to the total hits on my site? Or are these hits being counted twice if they went on to the main site? http://www.howlatthemoon.com
