Analytics - Video Tracking
-
Hello,
As i've ended up confusing myself, I thought I would ask the moz community whether i'm on the correct track!
I'm wanting full GA tracking on individual videos from our destination URL.
In short I need the name of each video to have specific tracking.
Example;
Video 1 (Apples)
Video 2 (Oranges)
Video 3 (Pears)We need to be able to see the amount of plays per session, per video. As well as any extras if possible, such as;
Watched 25%, watched 50%, watched 75%, video complete, video paused.If the following script is used; https://github.com/sanderheilbron/vimeo.ga.js
As well as using the Google URL builder (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033867?hl=en-GB) , what would be the best way to set each video to see the statistics within Google Analytics, so I can see how many plays the 'Apples' video has had. I think it is the ordering of the 'event, campaign, label etc' which has confused me.
Many Thanks for any replies in advance, I appreciate it.

Hi Whittle,
So to be honest, I"m not quite sure what the issue is for you here. It should be working correctly - I assume you're using GTM to fire the universal analytics tags - are you just not happy with the way things are being displayed in GA? If so, I think the question you're asking needs me to have eyes on your site and analytics to be able to answer.
If that's something you can do, let me know.
Thanks,
Phil.

Any help on this would be fantastic. "Google Analytics on Steroids" doesn't work unfortunately, nor does the Sander Heilbron script.

Didn't work, unsure why I tried as surely it needs a script for it to run?
Thanks for replying though.

Here's what I would do. Go to GA and go to Behavior>Events>Top Events (Your videos should be placed here for tracking). You should see "customize" in the top left of the report. Go to Dimension Drilldown and remove the Event Category dimension and switch Event Action with Label. It should then read Event Label>Event Action. You can modify the filter so event category equals video.

Track buttons in Google Tag Manager
Hi! First question: I am wondering if it's possible to track two buttons with the same code in Google Tag Manager without changing the code? There are different page URL's.. Second one: My tags are displayed in Google Analytics as 'events'. When I put the events in 'goals', the number of times it fired differs from my events. Someone who can help me with this issue?

Referral issue in Google analytics
We have an eCommerce website that counts paypal as a referral source in Analytics. The site takes people to Paypal to make a payment and then back to the website to a Thank You page once that payment has been made. Due to this, Analytics sees this as a conversion that has come from Paypal, and also records it as a referral source, when we know this is not really the case. This also distorts the data in analytics and prohibits us from clearly seeing which channels sales have come from. Is there anyway in Analytics to include Paypal as a part of the website so that it does not record Paypal as a separate referral website?

A couple of [daft] analytics questions
Hello Mozzers, I have a couple of anaytics questions I wanted to ask. What does 'Not Set' refer to? I assume it is when the user has switched off cookies, but was wondering if this is correct or if there were other circumstances that would trigger this? When I look at my reverse goal paths, the same page is in path 1, 2 and 3... Are the pages refreshing? Thanks! Amelia

Goals in analytics
How do you establish which keywords generated traffic that resulted in goal completions (in GA) ? I thought this would be Reverse Goal Paths but this only goes back as far as the original page. Goal Flow shows the traffic source which is better but not the kw used ? Cheers Dan

Looking for a Drupal module to track conversions...
I don't use drupal very often, so I'm looking for some help. We manage two sites in drupal, and the way they are set up, it creates a new thank you page every time someone fills out a contact form. The thank you page displays the information that was entered, so I assume it is necessary to create a page to do this (this was set up before I came on board). What I'm trying to do is track conversions in analytics by thank you page, but because a different node is created for every page, it makes things really difficult. My guess is that there's some kind of module or shortcut that could make this easier. Do any of you know of something, or preferably, is there something you're using that you'd endorse? Thanks for your help. -Adam
