Hi,

I have been attempting to setup Google Analytics for our site following the steps outlined. For some reason, I can't get the analytics page to recognize the code that has been inserted. Keep getting the message "Tracking Not Installed"

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

We have a custom URL: www.waterdowntoastmasters.com that I have setup properly in FTH.

(1) I am using this in all the required fields.
(2) I have pasted the code that was given in the proper place on the FTH admin panel. It appears to be correct.

Is there something special I need to do for a custom URL?

Any help would be appreciated...

-Mike

When you requested the verification code and the anallyrics code did you use your custom domain name?

Thank you,

Once you add the verification code there is a button to click so google does the verification immediately.
Did you do that?

You might want to rewatch this video to make sure you did all the steps.

Yes, I followed the steps on the video. Seemed pretty straightforward... The only difference that I did was, in the video the user used his club url xxxx.toastmastersclubs.org rather than a custom url. Does that make a difference?

The google code that was provided seems to match the code imbedded in the the javascript that is pasted to the FTH site. This code does appear on our site when looking at the source www.waterdowntoastmasters.com

I have attached two screen shots of the google code and what is pasted on the FTH site.

I suppose I should be happy that at least there is some data being reported... I will try my luck with Google. I just want to know if it is setup correctly...

If google verified the site then it is setup correctly.

Yes, there was a verifcation when I did that step. I just can't seem to find out where that is - to check that is still the case. I will poke around to see if there a way to verify this. Under my Google Webmaster Tools, it shows that our URL www.waterdowntoastmasters.com is linked to a Google Analytics Property which I assume is the verification part.

Thanks.. All appears to be good now. Message has changed to "Recieving Data" perhaps I was not patient enough.. I wasn't sure if the change from "Tracking Not Installed" to receiving data was a quick process or not...

Brian / Brad... Thanks for the support!

I suggest setting up reporting filters to primarily show new (not returning) visitor info. Probably want to know stats on visitors vs existing members.

Attached is our PDF report from last month for your viewing pleasure.

Sometimes I print these geeky reports and highlight the 'meet our members' stats to encourage our members to fill out their profile and make it public. Seems to help make a real-world connection as to why they should bother completing that step.

This message has an attachment file.

Thanks! This is helpful. I have heard from a number of different clubs that the "Meet Our Members" page is quite often one of the most visited pages.

It's definately going to be a push at our club...

Thanks for sharing!
