Google Analytics Asleep at the Wheel?

Posted on Feb 11, 2008 in Marketing | 3 comments

Or, am I?

I installed the code for Google Analytics on the 14th and the tracking data has been rockin’ since I’ve been watching it. It’s SO much better than the former interface I was using. But I admit that I wasn’t very blog active last week and I looked at the analytics dashboard to find this today:


Visitor Flatline since the 2nd. Which I know isn’t right… so what gives? What did I change? I changed the blog over to my own DNS late on the 30th and those few days tracked just fine. The high mark there is Feb 1… so what gives? I did change the template somewhere in there but I’m not sure what day that was…I tried reinstalling the code and I’m not seeing a difference yet, but it’s entirely possible that it’s taking more time than I have patience right now.

Does anyone have any ideas? I know that I’m getting visitors (well I’m pretty sure…), I just don’t know why they’re not tracking at all. I obviously have a lot to learn…

    I didn’t see this yesterday. I had the same thing happen when I upgraded my blog to the new blogger template.

    Can’t remember what I did to fix it–but I see you’ve got it working now…

    I ended up adding the code to a new page element at the bottom and it seems to be working fine. PHEW!

    Hey Trishalyn,

    I can understand much of mine, I noticed however, that one of my blogs is not tracking, or either all of the traffic is being tracked by one. I’ve got to go over it some more.
