All of these basic events (“page_view”, “event”, “timing”, and “exception”) are thoroughly detailed on the Google Developers site, particularly in the Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager sections. A ‘page_view’ is sent whenever a person views a page on your website. ‘Event’ is a general category that encompasses user interactions with content… Read more

You’re trying to integrate Google Analytics 4 with a .pug template file and despite following the instructions, you’re receiving a notice that Google Analytics isn’t collecting any data. In essence, it sounds like the code you’ve implemented has not activated Google Analytics on your website. This could be due to a variety of reasons. It could b… Read more

Sure, I can surely point you in the right direction. For your first problem, the code is actually capable of tracking more than one image at a time. The ‘selector’ parameter in the function can accept multiple selectors separated by commas. So, instead of just one class, you could send in multiple like ‘img.afg-celebrate, img.anotherClass,… Read more

Sure, here’s a more casual walkthrough of your questions:

Scripts on the Site

You can choose either the first script OR the second and third ones. I tend to not use the third one anymore, because it’s more of a backup for users who don’t have JavaScript enabled.

Is it typical for the ecommerce purchase data in GA4 to be less accurate (by like 20 to 30%) than the database record? What’s the norm here? Also, can you explain why there’s a difference between the record and tracking data? I’d like to understand this better.

Hey, is there an official SDK for integrating Google Analytics into a WPF app? I’ve read a lot but can’t figure out how to use it. And can Google Analytics 4 be incorporated into a WPF app? Is there an SDK for that? Can you guys help me out with this?

Hey there, I hope this message finds you well. I’m trying to monitor outbound links using GA4 and I’m curious to see how many folks are clicking on ‘/cgi-bin/abdl.cgi?abc.com’. Also, I’d love to know which day they’re doing this. Could you lend a hand?

Sounds like you’re moving from Universal Analytics to GA4. It’s kinda tricky because GA4 uses a whole new system based on events, instead of sessions or pageviews. Libraries that worked with UA may not be compatible with GA4 yet. Without seeing the code I can’t really help with specifics, but in general, you’ll need to switch to a library or… Read more

The PermissionDenied: 403 The caller does not have permission error occurs because the service account you’re using doesn’t have the necessary permissions. This error can occur even if you’ve assigned full owner permissions to the service account. The Google Analytics API relies on a different set of permissions which need to be assigned within… Read more

Your interpretation of the GA4 metrics seems mostly correct, although it is always important to consider their context in actual usage. The metrics you found later (campaignName, source, medium, manualAdContent, manualTerm) are dimension items usually associated with a specific event (like page_view or ad_click), whereas session prefixed… Read more
