How do you track which keywords generate phone calls? Mongoose Metrics can help and we integrate with GA. Call me at 216-920-6460

Tracking the Untrackable :)

Well, People who have the Opt-Out Plugin installed may not be trackable with Google Analytics, but you can still do Logfile Analysis. Comparing Visitor numbers of both tracking methods can give you a hint how many of your visitors have opted out or have java script deactivated. but of cause every method has its accuracy issues.

This topic leads me to a question for the next episode...

[TheDageroth]

Question for your next episode:

Will Google Instant preview have an effect on Google Analytics? I amnot sure how Google Instant works, that is how often the rendering of a page occurs - each time it is previewed or just once ( or once a day, week, month). And if the former, does not that mean that the analytics number will go significantly upwards?

I've decided not to explain how you can actually track those who might have opted out of tracking, but it might be interesting if Google could provide some figures around the numbers of downloads/installs for its opt-out tool and if the trend is increasing.

[TheDageroth]

Great that you are doing this. I think the question regarding tracking of opt-outs is rather: How many people are actually opting out, that is how often has the plugin been downloaded and installed? Furthermore it would be interesting to find something out about the installations of scriptblockers and adblockers, which also often block google Analytics and other tracking tools.
