One thing you might not be accounting for is whether or not bit.ly is tracking Facebook's crawlers as clicks, since Facebook will follow the bit.ly link, and while bit.ly tries to exclude bots, who knows how successful it is. You could test

Where in there does it say that personal traffic information is linked to Google+ information?

by yahelc 13y ago
Sorry, but that's not what that means. There are settings that allow people to opt to link their Google Analytics accounts to, say, AdWords or Webmaster Tools, but that's at the website owner level, not at the individual-navigating-the-web

The Google Analytics JavaScript is hosted on google-analytics.com, as is the Google Analytics pixel. Google Analytics cookies are first-party cookies, so are tied to the domain of the website you're on, not Google. Google Analytics data, un

This is bizarre. This piece insinuates, with not a shred of evidence, that Google+ identity data is linked to Google Analytics data, and there is zero evidence that this is the case, or that it even makes any sense. (For starters, Google An

You'll be interested to hear that the digital analytics team at the Obama campaign sometimes made use of your tool for sharable A/B calculations. I even built a bookmarklet for quickly grabbing numbers off off of a page (usually for Google

This is very misleading. The law still applies to the President, Vice-President, members of Congress, and executives requiring Senate confirmation. The law was passed so quickly in a populist fit around the 60 Minutes piece that they didn't

Google Analytics uses first party cookies, not third-party cookies, so it is unaffected by Firefox's changes.

My solution here is usually to just send myself a text message from Google Voice. For me, it's faster to open a new tab and paste my text than to find my QR reader and scan.

Can you provide live examples? `_gaq.push([]);` shouldn't result in any errors with Ghostery. I'm curious as to what's happening.

by yahelc 14y ago
No, it's not particular new or regularly misimplemented. It's usually implementing cross-domain tracking that breaks things, not regular use of GA, because it does `return false` in an onclick handler. I have some fixes for that here: http

Not the same thing. jQuery is worth it if you're doing lots of DOM element selection. If the entirety of your usage of jQuery is a single $("#foo").bind(...) call, then it's probably not worth loading the entire library for that. URL parsin
