Just getting off my JavaScript training wheels. Why does Google choose to unescape the document.write line in Part 1 below? Why don't they just write it like this? Maybe unescape is required for some older browser compatibility? document.write('<script src="' + gaJsHost + 'google-analytics.com/ga.js" type="text/javascript"></s...
I'm developing a Firefox extension and would like to track its use with google analytics, but I can't get it working. I've tried manually calling a funstion from ga.js, but that didn't work for some reason. No error was produced, but neither was any data collected. My last attempt was to have a website that just holds the tracking java...
I'd like to know the best way to deep dive into the flow of my users. For example, I have 4 pages in my flow, how can I analyze which users abandon on which step? I can definitely do it by hand with logging, etc, but I'd rather use an off the shelf solution. I have apache request logs, as well as google analytics. Can these analyze user...

40k of compiled code seems like a lot to me to be making some straightforward flash-javascript calls and makes GA unsuitable for banner ad work as well. Does anyone know if there is a 'lite' version of Google Analytics for Flash? ...
My records show a particular page of my web site was visited 609 times between July 2 and November 15. Google Analytics reports only 238 page views during that time. I can't explain this discrepancy. For Google Analytics to track a page view event, the client browser must have JavaScript enabled and be able to access Google's servers....
I'm trying to use Google Analytics to track any Ajax request made by my web application (in my case built on ExtJS, but it doesn't matter right now). I wrote few lines of code to track all Ajax requests: Ext.Ajax.on('requestcomplete', function(connection, options) { pageTracker._trackPageview('/'+options.url); }); but it doesn't ...
I am just wondering if there is an algorithm that can divide a user input query for a search engine into a set of sub queries. for example if the entered query is "plcae to stay and eat" the sub queries would be "place to stay" and "place to eat". Thanks!! ...

Today Google announced the support for asynchronous Google Analytics tracking. The asynchronous tracking is achieved using the async directive for the <script> tag. Which browsers support the async directive (<script async="true" />) and since which version? ...
I'd like to gather some stats about the usage of my application, and since I already have web stats in Google Analytics, I thought it'd be cool if I could send a request from the app that causes a hit in Analytics, eg. /app/v1.0/debug This would allow me to see how often my app is starting up (or whatever). I had a look online and fou...
Can you recommend any programmable tools/extensions that can be used to generate reports out of google analytics feed on th fly? Essentially some kind of pdf generator from feed, not sure though. Or does the Google analytics itself gives reports output as feed etc., ...
I have been requested to get involved with a family member's site. To date, they have been paying an SEO outfit, which I believe has been feeding them lies and milking them for money. I can see that all pages in the site have Google Analytics. However, the SEO outfit refuses to let us see the Analytics page, and has always just forwar...
Hello, I am looking into using http://www.asual.com/jquery/address/ , but I am wondering how it effects google analytics. Google analytics is a snippet of code at the bottom of pages. I would imagine deep linking would still look like activity on the initial page, not new pages. ...
Hi, If you search for any site on compete.com you can get Google Analytics data about that site. I am wondering how they get that information.. Second point is if that data is out in the open, why google makes us insert ga.js files on every page ? ...
I want to use Google Analytics on my Vkontakte application (written with Flex). Vkontakte does not support naturally in Google Analytics (not as Facebook) which means I can't even put the Google Analytics JS at the bottom of the page (or even use JS for that matter). What I can use is the AS3 library of Google Analytics, but for some rea...
I've created a simple Google analytics test site that has events (on the buttons) and log visits upon entering the page. The status in the Google analytics report site is set to "Receiving Data". Why is the visits counter on the Google analytics report site stays on 0? Here is the site's source code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD...
