Comments on: Strange Problem In Google Analytics http://www.blackbeak.com/2008/01/10/google-analytics-problem/ Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:21:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Mark Brimm http://www.blackbeak.com/2008/01/10/google-analytics-problem/comment-page-1/#comment-6512 Mark Brimm Mon, 21 Jan 2008 20:38:43 +0000 http://blackbeak.conversionchronicles.com/2008/01/10/google-analytics-problem/#comment-6512 Today I noticed that Google's Analytics CODE was WRONG...it's missing a carot at the end of a javascript string used to mark the end of the line (how does a programmer with a sweet job at Google mess up something so simple...). This problem caused me to waste the whole weekend for a client site after installinkg the WRONG code on Thursday and thinking it would be all full of data by Monday. The code they are using (the new version) is : var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www."); document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E")); var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-986914-4"); pageTracker._initData(); pageTracker._trackPageview(); But it SHOULD read: var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www."); document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));> var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-986914-4"); pageTracker._initData(); pageTracker._trackPageview(); Today I noticed that Google’s Analytics CODE was WRONG…it’s missing a carot at the end of a javascript string used to mark the end of the line (how does a programmer with a sweet job at Google mess up something so simple…).
