How to Measure App Events Sourced by Organic Search and SEO

Posted on September 20, 2022 Written by Bill Hartzer

Branch.io SEO App Attribution

Branch has released an SEO App Attribution measurement that allows you to measure app events that originated from a search engine result. This has long been an issue with the measurement of the ROI of SEO (search engine optimization) campaigns, in that it’s been impossible, traditionally, to measure events in apps that originate from search engine results pages.

Firefox Blocks Google Analytics and Other Trackers in Standard Mode in Private Windows

Posted on April 24, 2019 Written by Bill Hartzer

The latest version of the Firefox web browser blocks Google Analytics, as well as other trackers, such as Google Tag Manager, Google Ads (such as Google AdSense), and email trackers such as MailChimp. This blocking is done when a Firefox user has the Privacy and Content Blocking settings set to Standard–and they use a Private Window to browse. What could this mean? Firefox users who visit a website that uses Google Analytics won’t show up in Google Analytics as having visited the website, depending on their privacy settings. [Read more…]

The Famous Faces of Google Analytics

Posted on September 3, 2015 Written by Bill Hartzer

If you’re in the search marketing industry, or you have anything to do with websites, you’ve probably logged into Google Analytics. Well, that’s probably an understatement: you probably log into Google Analytics several times a day, like I do. And I am sure that you’ve seen these two people over and over and over again. You’ve seen them so often, and so many people have seen them by now, they’re famous.

Have you ever wondered who are the faces of Google Analytics? Who are the two famous people that are shown every time you log into Google Analytics? [Read more…]

How To: Filter Referrer Spam in Google Analytics

Posted on April 21, 2015 Written by Bill Hartzer

Well, apparently there is a new referrer spammer out there, called 4Webmasters.org that has started showing up in Google Analytics as a referral source. If you suddenly see an increase in traffic on your site, check to see which sites are the referral sources. Hopefully the source of new traffic to your site is something positive, like better search engine rankings. But, it might actually be referrer spam. I noticed that 4Webmasters.org just started a lot of referral spam in the past few days, as I’m seeing it in the Google Analytics accounts of several different sites. [Read more…]

Google Analytics: Is Google Plus a Referral or a Social Media Site?

Posted on August 15, 2014 Written by Bill Hartzer

While reviewing Google Analytics for a few websites today, it appears that Google Analytics has a problem with deciding whether or not Google Plus is a website–or if it is a social media website. In Google Analytics, some of the traffic to your site will be reported as a referral, while other traffic, seemingly a random number, will be reported as social traffic.

Let’s take a look at a random site that I have Google Analytics access to, and look at referrals from Google Plus. In this case, I filtered the “All Traffic” down to only plus.google.com: [Read more…]

SEMAlt.com Under DDOS Attack

Posted on August 10, 2014 Written by Bill Hartzer

A while back I wrote about Semalt.com and how it has been showing up in Google Analytics as a referrer for many websites. As far as I can tell, it’s some sort of bot, and not a real visitor. So, when you see something like this as a major referrer in your Google Analytics it’s pretty annoying. I have had numerous clients of mine inquire as to what semalt was, and had to explain to them that it’s not real visitors. Well, now if you go to semalt.com (I’m not going to link to that site), you’ll see a message from them–that the site is under attack (as of the writing of this post).
