I tried using the generator as well as creating the link manually. But no matter what, it doesn't appear in Google Analytics. Would you have an idea what I'm doing wrong? WEBSITE? WEBSITE?utm WEBSITE? These are the ones I tried. Waited for about 15-20 minutes and tried different browsers and send some to friends to test other router IPs. Nothing works :D
@clicksdontlie14 күн бұрын
Hi Andreas, two things 1. it takes 24h for GA4 to process data properly (the real-time reports are not good with UTMs, I just tested them) 2. Use a source GA4 will recognize (otherwise, it will place them in an unassigned channel group; you can see the campaign as a "test." So something like website.com? I hope this helps!

I think the test from Barefoot is not the best test to use as an example. The version on the right has just one radio button, so at first glance there seems to be no 'way out', which can scare some users away. The version on the left has multiple radio buttons, so the user will feel more in control and will probably be more likely to stay long enough to read the "(Optional)" text. The test is not only about the Hobson's +1 effect because of users' expectations about radio buttons.
@clicksdontlie2 ай бұрын
Thanks for taking the time to write Sjoerd. I actually ran exactly the same test as on barefoot (btw it's not what they do, I added it) on another website and it worked better when there were 2 options. And there was no difference in conversions, but huge increase in signups. The big difference is that the checkbox was not selected by default in my test. In this my example was a bit misleading. That said your hypothesis could be true. But It's worth running a test for your case and making sure it's a checkbox instead of radio button.

Why Advertising/All channels performance report has a discrepancy in comparison to Traffic/Acquisition reports? It would be great if you could create a video on Advertising and the new Google Ads reports.
@clicksdontlie5 ай бұрын
Hi Johnny, good idea! There are a few different reasons for it, here are the biggest (I think). Mostly it is that Google Ads have higher numbers than GA4. Here are top reasons for this: 1. People use ad blockers or browsers that block scripts, so they block your GA4 from firing. From my experience, this can be anywhere from 10%-25% of all your visitors. 2. Google Ads are clicked by bots (Google has protections, but they are not always perfect) 3. People click on ads, but don't accept your cookie policy (and GA4 script is not fired) 4. People click on ads, but never make it to your site (slow loading or they just closed the browser quickly.) 5. Your attribution model is set to first click attribution in GA4, more about this here: support.google.com/analytics/answer/10596866?hl=en I hope this helps!
@clicksdontlie5 ай бұрын
Oh yeah, what can you do about these? 1. You can use server side tracking - this will reduce ad blocker influence 2. Use software services that help you avoid bots 3. Not much you can do about this 4. Also this is hard to address, one thing to do is to make sure your ads are relevant 5. Look at the first click acquisition reports
@johnnyway86675 ай бұрын
@@clicksdontlie Thanks! I'm aware that Google Ads and GA4 will always show different numbers as they are working in a different way. I was talking about the difference between Standard session report and Advertising report. In GA4, the revenue data is different for each report. For example, in Traffic Acquisition>Session report the revenue is 100k, but if I go to Advertising report and filter for the same Default channel grouping, the revenue is 90k. It seems like those Advertising reports are using different attribution models. Our default attribution is Data driven.
