Multi account tracking Client have an account and we also have one! Pros: We can also track the site and analyze it along side with our client. Cons: The two accounts will not have consistent reported numbers.

Multi account tracking  The syntax old version _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-Y']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-Y']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); Or _gaq.push( ['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-1'], ['_trackPageview'], ['b._setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-2'], ['b._trackPageview'] );  The syntax newest version ga('create', 'UA-XXXX-Y', 'auto'); ga('create', 'UA ', 'auto', {'name': 'newTracker'}); // New tracker. ga('send', 'pageview'); ga('newTracker.send', 'pageview'); // Send page view for new tracker. Each call will post a request to google service and the account will track that info separately.

Campaign Tracking We don’t know where they came from. They came from the same place? They are from as “organic”, “referral” or “direct”

Campaign Tracking The place the customer know about us$$$

Campaign Tracking How does Campaign tracking work?

Campaign Tracking Campaign measurement is performed by adding TAGS to your destination URL tm_campaign=smarttv_p2 ?utm_source=vne &utm_medium=banner &utm_campaign=smarttv_p2

Campaign Tracking Don’t use punctuation like commas, question marks, periods, colons, semicolons, etc in campaign tags.

Campaign Tracking Visiting count is measured in 30 mins session. Each user activity that has a submission to GA the session will be restarted. FACEBOOK or something like that makes Campaign manager frustrated

Campaign Tracking TOOLS

Facebook GA Campaign tracking  FACEBOOK or something like that makes Campaign manager frustrated  Facebook App will run under IFRAME  All GA TAGs for the campaign will not be passed to the IFRAME by default  The GA service won’t see those campaign TAGs so it don’t know which campaign too.

Facebook GA Campaign tracking GATC manually: ga(‘set', 'campaignName', ‘Attack-Dance-Ad'); ga(‘set', 'campaignSource', ‘Facebook-Ad'); ga(‘set', 'campaignMedium', ‘CPC'); ga(‘send', 'pageview'); Manual campaign tracking for Facebook App URL built for Facbook App: Ex: kvideocontest/fb/index/index/utm_source/Facebook- Ad/utm_medium/CPC/utm_campaign/Attack-Dance-Ad

Goal Tracking  What is Goal tracking? Goals are a versatile way to measure how well your site or app fulfills your target objectives Goals let you measure how often users take or complete specific actions. Goals often meet standard business objectives For example: How many users go through all steps of the contest procedure? How many users drop at 3rd step over 5 steps of the game? How many users come from a source campaign and pay for a product?

Goal Tracking – Goal Type There are four types of Goals. Each type is used to measure different kinds of content and actions

Goal vs User flow  Usually, the site or especially the campaign or game has some user flows.  That the cases client often ask to know if their business objectives are met. What should we do make sure all Goal possibly be tracked? - Ask them all the objectives they want to report - Construct the flow the user would take to get the desire objective - Play with GATC to track all possible steps - Set up Goal and test it.

Tips & Tricks  Pageview or User/Visitor is lower than we expected As Google will track when page load and measure the information it got likes pageviews, user. Sometime the target objective pageviews or visting users are low The SOLUTION is: Good: - Increase the promotion on the site - Invest in ads and social engagement Bad: - Create a light empty page with GATC contained - Create an iframe code and add it to as many websites as we can :v

Tips & Tricks  Bounce rate is to high than it should be. The more interesting the website is the more user come and interact with or explore. Bounce Rate is the percentage of single-page visits (i.e. visits in which the person left your site from the entrance page without interacting with the page). The SOLUTION is: Good: - Add good “Call to action” (CTA) on entrance page - Engage user with rich content or promotion Bad: - As event tracking we talked above, “Tracking that automatically executes on page load will result in a zero bounce rate for the page” - Place a event tracking call in the page for example: setTimeout(function() {_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'view', 'view']);}, 20000); - Keep in mind that don’t let the bounce rate too low

Tips & Tricks  Enable Age, Gender and Interest data  Enable under Property Settings  Change in the GATC ga('require', 'displayfeatures');  View report under Audience > Demographics

Tips & Tricks  Intelligence Events with Custom Alert  The Alert will notify you when it meet the condition set via or sms.

Tips & Tricks  Custom Reports Sometime the default reports won’t meet our needs. Then we should do a custom report. Custom report provide us lots of pieces of information that we can gather them to generate a desire reports.
