Just trying to understand why they didn't use a REST API. doug In REST, clients initiate requests to servers for resources; servers process those requests and return appropriate responses. The utm.gif is not involved in server-to-client data transfer, but instead it's involved in moving data in the other direction. Of course REST has HTTP methods for the client to communicate with servers (GET and POST) and indeed, Google Analytics directs the client's browser to send all analytics data to the GA servers via a GET Request. More precisely, a GET Request is comprised of a Request URL and Request

I've been working on a support center for my company and we need to track individual users when they login. If possible we would like to track details as well such as pages visited and time spent on the site as well. I'm able to track how many people login to the site using a custom variable, but I am unable to track individual users. Here is the code I've been using to try to grab the individual user id: $(document).ready( function() { var welcomeEmail = document.getElementById('welcome_email').innerHTML; var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-30086012-1']); var welcomeEmail; if

Google Analytics embeds a one pixel GIF with a URL like this: http://www.google-analytics.com/__utm.gif?utmwv=5.1.5&utms=5&utmn=1532897343&utmhn=www.douban.com&utmcs=UTF-8&utmsr=1440x900&utmsc=24-bit&utmul=en-us&utmje=1&utmfl=10.3%20r181&utmdt=%E8%B1%86%E7%93%A3&utmhid=571356425&utmr=-&utmp=%2F&utmac=UA-7019765-1&utmcc=__utma%3D30149280.1785629903.1314674330.1315290610.1315452707.10%3B%2B__utmz%3D30149280.1315452707.10.7.utmcsr%3Dbiaodianfu.com%7Cutmccn%3D(referral)%7Cutmcmd%3Dreferral%7Cutmcct%3D%2Fgoogle-analytics-architecture.html%3B%2B__utmv%3D30149280.162%3B&utmu=qBM~ Why not use an AJAX

I've been using a script to track outbound links for a couple of months now. The script WORKS , but in the report generated by Google Analytics many URLs are having a trailing ":80" (default port number) at their end. Read on for more details. It's maybe important to mention that the website tracking these outbound links has a tremendous amount of outbound traffic (multiply your fantasy by ∞). The script's purpose It tracks ALL outbound links and tag them as "Outbound Links" in Google Analytics. The script is heavily commented and has a few instances of console.log() to help debugging (these

How do I use GTM with Angular? I'm trying to fire a (virtual) pageview event when I load a new partial using this code: dataLayer.push({ 'event' : 'pageview', 'pageview' : $location.path(), 'virtualUrl' : $location.path() }); But I don't see the event firing (I'm using the Google Analytics Chrome debug extension to view fired events). Mike Causer I find the Chrome extension unreliable. Simply run the global variable dataLayer in the console to print the array of events. One of the objects should be your pageview event. Here is an example of how we are using it: Note: we're not simply using
