Hi Emmanuel,

The “template” could affect the data collection process if by implementing the GA tracking code on a template not all pages are covered. But usually your template should cover all your pages. I recommend running a scan to see whether the GA tracking code is on every page of your site.

Best,
Paul

Nice piece. I have been wondering if template of a blog has an effect on Google Analytics reporting.

I am a blogger and recently implemented GA tracking code on my blog; but the data I am getting is far away below what it should be.

So, does template affect data reports by GA?

Hi Danielle, I am glad you like the post.

Weird stuff, never seen before. My suggestion is to add your comment to this post:

Annie is very knowledgable on campaign tracking and maybe knows where this issue is coming from. She promptly responds to comments.

I am happy to hear when it is solved!

Thanks for your comment and a great point you make there Rick!

Nice post,

However, on point #4, the problem with Events and Site Search is you can’t include them in your attribution model. So if you/your client wants to know the effectiveness of internal campaigns compared to external campaigns and judge it appropriately you’ll probably have to UTM tag them…

(I Wish I could create my own UTM code and ‘add that’ into the attribution model, that would be the perfect solution so it won’t disturb general UTM tracking).
