Setting up Google Analytics
-
Hello, I will try to explain what I want and I am not sure if that is possible.
Firstly I want to set up my Google Analytics that I would know where people come from and how many of them click on Google Ads.
For example:
Facebook > 2% of them click on ads.
Google > 3% of them click on ads.
Direct > 6% of them click on ads.Or whatever the results are.Secondly I would like to take people coming from facebook and divide them into age groups.
For example: 100 ad clicks from facebook.
25-34: 9 clicks (9% of total facebook clicks, 2% of total ad clicks)
18-24: 7 clicks (.....
35-44: ... and so onThirdly I would like to know which group use the adblocker the most.
Any other stuff that would be interesting if working with adsense?I believe that this would help me working with my target audience the best on facebook.
Should this be set as goals? Sorry I am not an expert of Google Analytics Thanks for the help.

I already enabled Demographics data some time ago

Next to the recommendation that you would need to set up the event tracking you would also need to enable the Audience Demographics data: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2819948?hl=en you can find more at this link on how to enable this.
You'll also need to implement a custom way to track if a user is using an adblocker. You could do this for example by creating a file advertising.js which usually gets blocked by an adblocker and adding a writable variable in there. If you would later check if that variable has changed you might be able to see the result.

Ah OK.
You will then need to lookup "even tracking". Basically ad an event on each one of the ads links you have on your website. (Surely you use templates and you can do this automatically)
What this does is create an event record (under Behavior tab on Analytics) every time someone clicked on that link. If you label that even correctly, you can then click on that even, and add a secondary dimension to see where did i t come from.
OR
If you're looking at the source (Facebook for example) you can select a goal on the same report that is setup with the event information. This will give you the number of visits from that source, and the number of events (clicks on the ad)
I hope this helps

Sorry for my bad English.
This should be the second one - "clicks on ads within your website"
-
A bit confused here, Do you mean ad to your website or clicks on ads within your website?
If its the first (example: you want to know the ratio of people who clicked on Facebook ads to your website TO people who clicked to your website from Facebook organically) then this is pretty easy:
- Add UTM tags to all your ads destination URLs (search UTM builder or URL builder on Google)
- Make sure the source (in the UTMs) is the same as the organic/normal traffic.
- Give the medium a unique name (for example, "advertising")
This way you can go to your Analytics, and click on (for example) facebook source. It will then list for you all the mediums of facebook, in this case: facebook / referral & facebook / advertising.
I hope this helps

When Googling site:mydomain.com what does listing order tell us?
To find all the pages on my site that are indexed by Google I can search using site:mydomain.com and it gives pages of results. But what does the order of results relate to? Is it page rank or strength? My list of pages doesn't appear to be in order of strength. And it's definitely not by age or alphabetical...

Industry Benchmarks for Google Analytics
Hey Mozites! I was wondering if anyone has come across any good resources for industry benchmarks relating to google analytics? (Social stats would be great as well, but Google Analytics is my main concern) Specifically, I have a client that is a bank and I would love to be able to compare their stats (traffic, unique visitors, bounce rate, time on site, conversion rates...) to other regional banks. Any ideas? Thanks for reading and for your help!

Google reconsideration nightmare
Hello and thanks in advance The website has had a penalty on it for a while now, around 10 months, it was worked on by an agency who bought bad links to it but before then it was worked on by other agencies that may have done the same. I cleaned up as many bad link (according to many posts read) and filled for reconsideration and was told to get rid of a whole bunch of links which i did not know existed. Downloaded WMT links as instructed by Google admin person and contacted a heap of people which took a lot of man hours and cost us a fortune. Resubmitted and again was shown a handful of links by the Google admin person and told to contact and remove. The funny thing is that a few of them I disavowed in my list so they should not have pointed these out. I emailed back and showed that everything I could do was done and am happy to disavow any other link which they though violated their terms. This was not enough and I was told to show more efforts in removing links and then resubmit for reconsideration. I have done as much as I can on the website, I cannot see any more links which show violation, if there are some I am happy to remove but am now at a stage where i need direction from others to tackle this matter. Any advice would be helpful; I cannot start over from scratch as it's a brand and not a small website.

Recovering from a Hack: How long until Google reindexes changes?
In a previous post I made, I was able to determine that one of my sites; http://pokeronamac.com/ was hacked and was feeding spam perscription drug content to search engines, then redirecting to another site when clicked on Google. I then contacted my web host, and, after they did a scan of our files, they determined that something within the wp-includes directory was compromised and malicious. They removed the file, though they weren't able to determine the source of the attack, or how they god in (should we be scared?). Anyway, its been several days now ~5 and if I do a site search the spam pages still show up, but the redirect is no longer working. At this point, I am at a standstill, because i'm loosing traffic on my site by about 90%, and google hasn't sent us any warnings of malaware or the like. I know I was recommended against this before, but should I attempt to submit a reconsideration request, or should I just wait it out? Thanks for your help, Zach
