Proper setup for Google Analytics within BC?

I've done a good bit of research and searching, and so far I've found:
Kiyuco: http://kiyuco.com/tutorials/tracking-cross-domain-traffic-with-google-analytics-on-busines s-catalyst
Adobe Forums: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4737785#4737785
and: http://www.itbusiness.com.au/_blog/Blog/post/Business_Catalyst_vs_Google_Analytics_Cross_D omain_Tracking/
These resources are fairly dated, so it's difficult to know if you're following along correctly. I've even read a good bit of Google's documentation on how Analytics works, but I'm still unsure as to whether or not my setup is working properly.
Everything seems to be tracking, but under "Real-Time" view in Google Analytics, one user will become two as soon as they click the checkout button... Is that normal? I guess I'm asking for others to share their "base" setup is for Analytics on BC e-commerce sites. Or even just tips and resources... Anything! Thanks.

Hi again Angela
This is RoboHelp HTML, no?
If so, you should be able to do the following:
* Click View > Pods > Project Setup
* Right-click the Templates pseudo-folder and choose "New
Topic Template"
* Name the Template and click OK
* Click View > Footer (Or View > Header - But Footer is
probably more clean for this)
* Click Insert > HTML > Advanced > Script
* Paste your snippet of code and click OK (You should see red
boxes in your footer)
* Click Window > Close all
* Click View > Pods > Topic List
* Press Ctrl+A to select all topics
* Right-click the selection and choose Properties
* Click the General tab
* Click the drop-down and choose your template, then click
OK. It should then apply the footer to all the topics in your
project.
That should get you pretty near to what you are seeking.
Cheers... Rick

How to use Event Tracking Code for Google Analytics in Dreamweaver CS5

I need to track clicks on links that go to an outside website. I've read about "event tracking code". I'm not sure if it's the right tool to use. And if it is, I've spent several hours reading about it and I can't figure out how to use it. It looks like you need to be an expert developer to be able to make sense of all this. I've always been helped when I ask a question here, I'm hoping that someone can help me.
What my client needs is to know what links are being clicked, and how often. Here's the page where I want to do this: Available Homes - Arizona Vacation Home Rentals
I added a code that I created using the tool I found here: General Event Tracking Code for Google Analytics but can't see to be able to make this work. I added this code to the first link called "View it Here" for the top, left house. Here's the code: <a href="http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p3495538" onClick="ga('send', 'event', { eventCategory: 'clicks', eventAction: 'clicks on homes', eventLabel: 'Clicked'});" target="_blank">View it HERE!</a>
Then I set a Goal in Google Analytics like it said in the instructions but it doesn't seem to work... I would APPRECIATE ANY HELP!
Thanks,
Brigitte

I think you misunderstood what Event Tracking is designed for. This is from Google Help
Tracking Code: Event Tracking - Google Analytics — Google Developers
"Use this to track visitor behavior on your website that is NOT related to a web page visit, such as interaction with a Flash video movie control or any user event that does not trigger a page request."
Clicks on links are page requests. I think for your purposes, you may want the Cross Domain Link Tracking plugin.

What is the proper setup for Gmail on iOS

I have been struggling with this since I made the switch to iPhone in November. I use gmail and would like my emails to be sent from my own domain. Exchange no longer works. Any help is appreciated

Google stopped supporting their version of Exchange (ActiveSync) unless you have a premium GMail account.
The "proper" setup depends on your preferences and needs.
You can use the standard iOS profile to set up your GMail account using the standard iOS Mail app, or use the GMail app. The GMail app supports Push, the standard iOS GMail does not.
If you want your Google contacts to be available on your iPhone, the GMail app will pull a contact into a new message without the contacts actually being installed in your iOS Contacts app, but of course they won't be available for any other purpose. The standard iOS profile for GMail does not let you sync your Google contacts, so the best route is to set up your Google contacts as a CardDAV account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4872?viewlocale=en_US
This is done as an additional account to your iOS GMail account (or just set up contacts only and use the GMail app).
The GMail app does not provide Calendar or Notes support, only the iOS GMail profile does.
Personally I use the standard iOS GMail account for Mail, Calendar, and Notes, and set up a separate CardDAV account to sync my Google contacts. I'm OK with not having Push support for mail, there are more important things to fret over.

Show search term in URL (for google analytics)

Hi there,
I was hoping someone might have advice for a newbie question.
When someone searches on our website we'd love to know WHAT they are searching on
(this would allow us to create more products based on searches - e.g if lots of people are searching for Red then we'll create more Red products..)
Our website is: http://www.angelaromatics.com.au
The search url is currently coming up as: http://www.angelaromatics.com.au/Default.aspx?A=ProductSearch&ID=/search-results&SE=True
Our search section is set up as:
[code]
<form name="catsearchform5878" action="/Default.aspx?A=ProductSearch&ID=/search-results&SE=True" method="post" class="search">
<input type="text" name="CAT_ProductSearch" class="entry_form" placeholder="Search our products here..." />
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
[/code]
Is there anyway to get into the URL the query / search term (so google analytics will list it in results)?
I'd love any advice

consider the query result (short description) as a string (say String S1). Use string tokenizer and get each word as a token. consider your search query(eg: cold) as another string (say string S2). check for each token if it is equal to your string S2, show it as bold(using <b>) else print it as it is.
I hope this helps.

OK, I just got my site integrated for Google analytics......

What I did was copied the "NEW" legacy code, I believe it was called, then I opened the index file for the site in text edit and copied the code from google just before the <body> tag then saved the file and republished. It worked!! Keep in mind that this is just the google analytics part and not the verification but I am hopeful that this same type of action will work for verification. I'll post up what I find.
Thanks to all especially cyclosaurus for tickling the ole grey matter

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.

Proper setup for using two computers and backup drives?

I've just purchased Aperture 3 and want to fix a longstanding problem I've had with my workflow and setup in Lightroom. I've got an iMac and a MBP and what I'd like to do is use the iMac as my main computer for Aperture. My plan is to import my existing files into Aperture and copy them to an external (non-portable) hard drive for back-up purposes. Based on this, I'd have two copies of each file, one each on the iMac and the back-up drive, right?
I also use my MBP for a lot of photo editing work while on the road, but don't have a lot of drive space on it. I've bought a 750GB hard drive and I'd like to have the Library on this drive as well for use on the MBP. I know this would give me three copies of each file, but it would also give me some peace of mind in the event I somehow lost the info on the 750GB drive. I don't want copies of the images on the MBP directly as I don't have enough space.
Can this setup be "easily" done and if I make a change in an image on one computer will it be synchronized between the two computers and the two external hard drives? I guess in plain English, what I'd like to achieve is the ability to work on either computer and have the most recent versions synchronize when I attach the 750GB drive to the iMac, with the non-portable external drive as the back-up for the synchronized Library.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Kevin

No, vaults only look after a managed library. A referenced library has to be backed up manually.
There are a few reasons i prefer to use a referenced set up. I use a MBPro on the road for long periods and sometimes high volumes of large image files, so the limited capacity HD is no longer a problem.
Aperture does not slow down with a referenced library as the HD fills.
The Vaults cannot be accessed like manual back ups can, there is no way of knowing what is in there, you hope it is your entire Aperture library.
With manual project backup you have a more manageable size that is much more versatile, and is viewable because of its smaller size. You can delete stuff and then restore it from the backup.
It is safer in my opinion to not have all the library in a single library folder. Much safer split up by project.
When i did use a managed library and Vaults there were times when i wanted stuff off the Aperture library but still kept in the vault, which was not possible.

Proper setup for home office

I have a domain (mydomain.com) and static IP's from our provider with RDNS setup properly. AEBS is providing DHCP & DNS and I have a few questions. Config is this (net)--(modem)--(aebs)--(macmini)
1. What should the settings in the AEBS be? Should it be providing DNS servers of our ISP to clients or should it be handing out the IP of the MacMini.
2. We have a domain with RDNS but when setting up the macmini what should I put in the hostname field so that all external services work well. In 10.5 this was very very key you did it right. So would I put apple.mydomain.com?
Thanks,
DM

Kia ora DD,
What services is SLServer running, it will be your OD master I assume, and DNS, and I assume DHCP is handled by your AEBS?
I think the dns references should point to the ip address of your server, so that the clients are 'sent' to it first, then if the resource they are looking for is not there then the server will send that request on elsewhere, usually to the router, which is looking 'outside', and sends the request out into the 'net'.
As far as the DNS entry of the server is concerned the relationship between the FQDN (the base domain name for example 'sausage.com') and the hostname (computer name for example 'beef') still exists, but it is not as tricky. The computer name is used in some services locally, on the internal network and may be found for some services at beef.local, some services need the FQDN, but most need the hostname; beef.sausages.com.
As far as the setup is concerned I put my FQDN in the first box and the computer name in the second, and if you look at the DNS services in Server Admin or info pane in serverpreferences, they should show the consequences of how you named you box etc at the initial setup.
As far as your ISP is concerned they should be sending any external request to your static ip, and that will be handled by your server as long as the mail exchanger records at you ISP are the same as the mail exchange record in the DNS services pane of Server admin.
I would recommend reinstalling multiple times until you have it is as you want it,
I think!

Proper setup for a network with Public Static IPs and Private IPs

hello all-
i am trying to setup a network with public static IP addresses and local (internal) IP addresses with 192.168.xxx.xxx format. i will try to explain as best i can how i have it set up and what my issues are.
i have COX business services in my home and 8 static public IPs assigned to me. i have tried setting this up and everything internally (192.168.xxx.xxx) works fine and all the devices can get to the outside world fine but when i try to access ANY of the devices on the public IPs from outside the network i get absolutely nothing. the browser just times out and i cannot ping the devices even though COX can see and says the devices are bridging over. COX is unable to get a response when they ping the devices either.
one of the devices is a Synology NAS with one Ethernet port that is using a public IP and the other using a 192.168.xxx.xxx address. when the Ethernet port is setup using a static public IP COX can see it but they get no response from a ping and when they go to the address to get the login page the browser times out. when i reconfigure the port for DHCP it grabs a public DHCP address and when COX pings that they get a response AND they are able to type the DHCP adress in their browser and get to the login page no problem. when i switch back to the static IP they can see it but again are unable to get a response from a ping and are unable to go to the login page.
my setup is:
COX Modem (only has 1 Ethernet port) ====>> 8 port NETGEAR Gigabit switch (all devices with Public IPs are plugged into the NETGEAR switch)
NETGEAR switch ====>> WAN Port on Airport Extreme (latest version w/all software updates)
LAN Port Airport Extreme ====>> CISCO 2960 48 port Gigabit Switch (all internal devices are plugged into the CISCO switch)
like i said everything with the 192.168.xxx.xxx connects and i can connect to just fine but none of the devices with public static IPs can be pinged even though COX can see them bridging over. i have tried all new cables on the devices and that didn't work so it has to be something with my setup.
do i need to add another router to this configuration because i have extra airport extremes lying around i can use if someone could just tell me how the setup should be. i also have a few ports open on the CISCO switch; is there a way i can use it for the 4-5 devices that have public IPs? or will that cause a problem with all the other devices plugged into it with the 192.168.xxx.xxx IP addresses?
i'm not a networking guru (obviously) so if you are able to help me get this setup properly can you try not to use Doctoral Level syntax in your response? i would greatly appreciate it!
i appreciate any and all help... thx in advance!

Google Analytics breaks iWeb blog comments

Does anybody know a workaround for Google Analytics' breaking of iWeb blog comments? Apparently, from some posts I've read, StatCounter and other traffic stat services break iWeb blog comments, too... so it's apparently an iWeb issue rather than a Google Analytics issue. FWIW, I'm publishing to my MobileMe personal domain. Thanks in advance!

I found a decent way of adding Google Analytics to all pages, without using HTML Snippits (which cause analytics to track those odd page names like widget2_markup.html), that doesn't break MobileMe comments, and doesn't require any post-processing of your iWeb site. Just Publish and go! Open up your iWeb app bundle, and drill down to Contents/Resources/Scripts/Site. Open up the file iWebSite.js in TextEdit (or your favorite text editor), and paste the following at the bottom of the file:
// Begin Google Analytics
gaTrackerId = 'ss-ddddddd-d'; // insert your tracker id here
document.observe('dom:loaded', function() {
var gaJsHost = ( ('https:' == document.location.protocol) ? 'https://ssl.' : 'http://www.') + 'google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var script = new Element('script', { 'src': gaJsHost});
var gaTrack = function() {
if (
!script.readyState
|| /loaded|complete/.test(script.readyState)
var pageTracker = gat.getTracker(gaTrackerId);
pageTracker._trackPageview();
script.observe('load', gaTrack);
script.observe('readystatechange', gaTrack);
document.body.appendChild(script);
// End Google Analytics
Credit to this solution goes to this blog post. I got the idea to find a way of using Google Analytics in Prototype (since iWeb sites use the Prototype JavaScript framework) and found that blog snippit.
And yes, since this is editing the iWeb application bundle, you may need to reapply this hack if/when iWeb is updated. Hopefully though, some enterprising iWeb engineer is reading this and will add proper Google Analytics support to iWeb for us.

Latest version of Firefox is having problems loading sites, it tries to load to Google Analytics. No error messages, just a page that won't load. How do I stop this?

Latest version of Firefox is having problems loading some sites, it tries to load and then gets taken over trying to load Google Analytics. No error messages, just a page that won't load. How do I get rid of this, it is a "pain in the neck"
== URL of affected sites ==

I just spent 3 days with this issue as well. I finally fixed it by reluctantly adding yet another add-on called ADBLOCK
I was able to selectively block google-analytics. Now pages that weren't loading before are now loading.
eg vimeo.com starbucks.com & other random sites.
This was a tough one to fix because there is NO ERROR MESSAGE..page just shows it's loading...forever..& the bottom of my browser says 'waiting for google analytics'. I finally figured out google analytics is the culprit. Ironically, some help pages in trying to find a fix wouldn't load for me due to google analytics arghhh!
Im on a macbookpro & Safari worked fine for these same sites. It was just Firefox. I nearly switched back to Safari because of this stupid issue.
I'm wondering if this was caused by recent firefox 'updates'...

What is google analytica and why does Firefox put it on my computer?

Firefox has put google analytica on my browser. Why did you do that and how do I get it off?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

There are pages that I try to log onto, such as when I go to gjsentinel.com and then click on any of their stories. It will blink the story briefly and then then the screen goes black and at the bottom of my window (Firefox) it continually says "Waiting for google-analytics.com" and just stays there. However, the address line at the top continues to say http://www.gjsentinel.com/ This does not happen when I use Safari.

WTF Is Google Analytics and why is it hangin up Firefox?

On almost every site i visit recently the page will load for a second and then get redirected to a page that never loads. At the bottom of the browser is a message "waiting for google analytics. Has google gone mad? Had firefox gone off the deep end. This is the most annoying thing I have every encountered with firefox AND THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY of things in the past to annoy me. Ive adjusted cookies I have done private browsing im at my wits end. WHY IS IT DOING THIS?
== URL of affected sites ==
http://

See this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Analytics
I just block that domain using NoScript. I don't care one way or another if websites collect statistics about my visits, but when that service noticeably slows web page loading for me it gets blocked. If they don't have enough servers or can't load balance their servers better to not cause slow downs, eff um - I will block that domain.
As far as being re-directed, I have no ideas about that issue.

Hello Karen.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
As for your issue, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there.
