Analytics conversions, please explain what’s wrong

Wild guess: maybe a visitor visited the site at 23:58 and filled in the form on 0:02. Is that conversion counted for the 29th, the 30th or both?

First date and second date are used to compare results between selected time periods. In your case you are comparing conversions on Jan-29 (8) with conversions on Jan-30 (1), and you are seeing a 700% increase.

If you want to select a range of two days, you need to click on the first date on the tiny calendar symbol (next to the "view by" drop box) and then you can set a start and end date.

Hope this helps.

hi. Thanks for plugin

perfect.

Version 2.6

Since I have upgraded the Google Analytics plugin to 2.6 and since to 2.6.3, no data is showing up for my blog in Google analytics (hasn't for days during the recent bunch of upgrades). I have my Google analytics code correctly entered into configuration and I still get nothing.

I'm using the latest version of WP.

Any idea?

I can also confirm that latest version of plugin is not working with WP 2.6. After initial problems with upgrading and loosing all settings, now I don't even see tracking code embeded in the pages. GA site reports that everything is ok, but no data is shown.

You can see it my footer, too. That is because the plug in is not working and I inserted the code into the footer. However, I do not get /outbound/ reports this way.

I ran tests yesterday. No data was collected via the plug in but shortly after I inserted ga code into my footer, I started to see hits.

Let me know if you would like me to reactivate the plug so you can look.

Thanks.

The ga code from the footer has been removed and the plugin is active.

Thanks for quick reply.

I used plugin until few dyas ago, but as I said, latest update of WP 2.6 and plugin, and it stoped working. Nothing is sent to GA website with your plugin right now. I am not sure why, but it simple isn't working for me.

I have tested everything I have thinked of. Code, other settings, everything is set as it should be. But no tracking code in the pages. This is only second plugin I have problems with since WP 2.6 update. The other one is WP-DownloadManger. But I can't disable this one, and fortunatly only admin part of this plugin is not working. Public download is handled ok. But with your GA plugin, I just can't see what's problem. One of my 3 blogs is still on WP 2.5 with GA working fine. The other two on WP 2.6 is not.

@Joost: I added to my footer.php and that fixed the problem.

Thanks!

Adding

(note: delete the ")
at the end of my footer.php file worked for me too.

Ok, I am weighing in a little late on this, but I am running WP 2.5 and my tracking also stopped on the 21st.

I was checking plug-in settings today and when I tried to load page for the GA plug-in it froze. I refreshed and the data fields all had "a" in them (?). So I logged out and back in just to be sure there wasn't something out of whack and the page still had "a" in every field. I clicked "reset all settings" and everthing looked normal again, then I re-entered my GA code and saved.

Then I went to the google to check my stats and found they had stopped logging on the 21st. I hope its working now, but I thought since others had problems starting on the 21st I should post what I had experienced.

confirmed, the string is in my footer

And "viewing page source" the GA code appears to be in place. So, since I updated the settings, this may be working now. Any idea what the settings would have all become "a"s?

@Joost de Valk

That would be fair enough but I filter google analytics on unique views and the numbers still do not match up or come even close. On average, the 'asclicks' in google analytics are 70%-99% greater than what my adsense account shows. For example today the asclick count is upto 8 but my adsense account shows 0 clicks. On an average day the blog I use it on gets 20 asclicks but adsense only shows at best 30% of those clicks - at best.

Today, checking the source of the 8 asclicks in google analytics, I can see that 6 come from search engines and at least two land on product specific pages. I can see no reason why google would discount those clicks. If this was a one-off I would not worry about it but it's a consistent difference in figures and it is a big difference

Out of interest, is anybody else who uses this plugin able to match the reporting in analytics (asclicks) to adsense's own click reporting?

It's quite depressing. I would rather disable the plugin than see false reporting and then wondering how come google are discounting nearly 100% of my clicks

Here is the string I found in the instructions, but nothing was bolded. Can someone tell me what I need to enter into WordPress and is this plugin working for you all?

var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www."); document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));

var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();

I found the UA code and still nothing. WordPress has me feeling like I am in Kindergarten! I just put in teh UA code like this: UA-xxxxxxx-x without quotes, back or forward slashes. Anything else I should be looking at?

Thanks!

Now I feel like I'm in preschool.

Within Google I tried both http://www.mydomain.com and http://www.mydomain.com/wordpress/

Still nada, zip, nothing.

I am thinking WordPress is not for me, although I was pretty impressed with myself for getting it installed in the first place!

Success!

I'd tell you what I did wrong, but I am too embarrassed!

Do you know anything about Word Press Direct? I set
up WordPress in hopes of avoiding the $37 monthly
fee of WPD, but as time goes by I am wondering if it
might not be worth it!

I have installed the plugin, added my UA and reset settings, but i am not recording any stats. I cannot see the code on any of my pages, using WP 2.5. Any help would be appreciated.

OK, when I logout of my blog and look at the source view of my web page, I do see the tracking code down at the bottom just behind /body. So how come GA still says Tracking Not Installed?

I notice the following code between End of Google Analytics code and :

st_go({blog:'1071837',v:'ext',post:'0'});
var load_cmc = function(){linktracker_init(1071837,0,2);};
if ( typeof addLoadEvent != 'undefined' ) addLoadEvent(load_cmc);
else load_cmc();

This must be from some other plugin. Would this confuse GA?

Newbie here, trying to install GA plug-in and but running into wp_footer() complications. I am not familiar with the proper placement of the coding. Any help is much appreciated!!!
