Update Google Analyticator Tracking to Support Display Advertising

    How would I go about implementing the changes on this help doc with Google Analyticator?

    https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2444872?hl=en&utm_id=ad

    It requires a change to the middle of the code, not something additional after the code.

    To implement Remarketing or GDN Impression Reporting, replace the bold text in this example:

    <script type=”text/javascript”>
    var _gaq = _gaq || [];
    _gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-xxxxx-y’]);
    _gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’]);
    (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’; ga.async = true;

    ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl&#8217; : ‘https://www&#8217;) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’;

    var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
    })();
    </script>
    with the bold text in the example below:

    <script type=”text/javascript”>
    var _gaq = _gaq || [];
    _gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-xxxxx-y’]);
    _gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’]);
    (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’; ga.async = true;

    ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://&#8217; : ‘https://&#8217;) + ‘stats.g.doubleclick.net/dc.js’;

    var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
    })();
    </script>

    Thanks!

  • Having the same exact issue. Please advise of resolution. Great plugin!

    Yes, need the answer to this too! I love this plug in and have it installed on all my clients’ sites but need this new functionality.

    Is this a new code change for Google or is this something I’m late in discovering?

    Its required to get demo data in google analytics, thats why I want to implement it.

    So what’s the verdict. What did you guys wind up doing? I’m going to wait through the weekend and then find a new plugin or just implement the code myself.

    Same question here. Has anyone come up with a solution?

    Same issue for me. I found the code in the file google-analyticator.php, but Google Analytics won’t verify it. Anyone else figure it out?

    I changed the setting for “Enable remarketing” to Yes and it works.

    See line 1035 of google-analyticator.php for the code that makes the switch.

    Where is that setting? I cant find it in the plugin settings…

    It’s in “Tracking Settings”, two settings above “Link Tracking Settings”.

    Make sure you have the latest version too.

    I’m having trouble getting the validation to work from the Google side. I’ve got the ‘Enable Remarketing’ setting set to “Yes” in the plugin settings. And have verified the if-enabled code update is there in the google-analyticator.php file. But when I click the Validate Tracking Code button in my Analytics account I’m still getting this message:

    “Tracking code changes needed (as of Nov 21, 2013, 11:05:45 AM).

    Your Analytics tracking code does not include the necessary support for the Demographics and Interest reports. Learn more about the simple, one-line, one-time change to your tracking code to add this support.”

    Can anyone shed any light on what I might be missing?

    Do you have any caching on (like w3 total cache or wp super cache)? That could cause your page not to change since the caching plugin wouldn’t recognize that any changes had been made.

    If you do, clear your cache and then check via google analytics again.

    Thanks, sarasaratricecom. Just had a look through the plugin list and don’t have any caching plugins currently installed so still a little unsure what the issue is.

    That’s all I have from here. Do you have a link that you can share for people to look at?
