Hey man, thanks a lot for the content. I decided to finally learn GA4 instead of trying to avoid it at all costs. For the first time in life I feel like it might not be that difficult after all :)

[@furkansimsek33]

Great work, thank you for sharing :)

[@freeaudioblogs]

Thanks for keeping your content updated!

[@saurabhsen5271]

Thanks for your effort. Though it was for beginners but still there were few new things to learn

[@joshuarodriguez2219]

Thank you, great work

[@krystalleong8763]

This really helped me get a good grasp on GA4, I feel so much more confident now!

[@arhamthahir230]

Thanks man. It was very useful :)

[@user-jd3pf6yl6k]

Great videos!!!!

[@Murinio_86]

@Analytics Mania Great work very useful tutorial. I have a question? How to properly configure the data stream if an online store sells on several foreign markets in different languages? Create a separate stream for each language or can I analyze data at the report or exploration level according to language/country? What is the best practice in this case?

[@AnalyticsMania]

If you want to see data of all markets in the same reports, use one stream. Then work with segments and comparisons

[@Murinio_86]

@@AnalyticsMania from what you write, I conclude that if I want data from selected markets, it is better to add new data streams?

[@akankshachaurasia6152]

I have an important thing to ask - I have created four GA4 properties under one single account but somehow my one of the property is showing all 4 properties data into one single property, I got confused now, please help & How do I resolve this issue?

[@PATRICK71356]

Com essa ativação de Coleta de Dados, após isso, no relatório irá aparecer as Aquisições de Tráfego Pago? ou seja, pessoas que visitaram o site através do tráfego pago?

[@user-wf5nr9to8f]

dear sir very informative Lecture but I have a Question how to integrate GA4 Google Play Store, Google AdSense & Google Ad mob?

[@sakthisk4015]

Actually I have one doubt about google Analytics, This related feature only applicable. For like KZbin channel and other normal application related projects or if it able to use the other web ot MNC project related application also?? ... In this features. Kindy clarify

[@crimsonorc]

Hi Julius, great video. Quick question, I have had a new website with GA4 running for about two months now but only now decided to change the domain. I want to keep the data gathered so far but would I need to just change my data stream detail to the new URL while keeping everything else the same (same tracking snippet, ids etc)? Thank you for any help.

[@AnalyticsMania]

yes, you can change the URL in the data stream settings, also check the cross-domain settings if that is relevant. And then make sure to keep using the same tracking code

[@zoeto2844]

Thanks a lot for the content. Why i can't find GA4 Config on container loaded, but only in initialization, what is the problem

[@AnalyticsMania]

That's how it works. All good

[@user-if5rd2yt5v]

Great video. How can I add transactions to the Item Brand Report in GA4? Currently showing that dimensions and metrics are not compatible. Please help!

[@AnalyticsMania]

They are incompatible

[@devacollins4637]

I have accidently created 2 accounts and I have 3 properties/apps. I have one website, so I believe I only need 1 account. Which account should I delete and when I delete one of the accounts will it delete the 2 properties/apps (one is UA) that are connected to it?

[@stahaz1]

I was following very well until you shifted to GTM. Then my brain collapsed! LOL. Love your videos!

[@SundbybergTrafikskola]

Haha same here!

[@RastaFishBallistics]

How do I set up GA4 for my KZbin Channnel?

[@MAGIKVAN]

I have a question. If GA4 is installed via Google Tag Manager, is it possible to send custom events through code? I know it is possible to send events through the window.gtag api, but i don't know if that api is available when installing through Google Tag Manager. Thank you very much in advance!

[@AnalyticsMania]

Since you have opted in to use GTM, why not continue sending events through it? You could push the data to the data layer (through code) and then use GTM to send that event to GA4 (but also you could send it to other analytics/marketing tools you're using)

[@MAGIKVAN]

@@AnalyticsMania In this case I am interested in having this gtag api accessible so that other third party scripts have the possibility to send custom events programmatically. Using the method you mention, I understand that it would require an extra step on the part of the owner of the Google Tag Manager account to be obliged to observe those events that have been set using dataLayer and then send them to GA4. I guess it's the only way so I'll look into it. Thanks so much for the quick response and for all the content you post!

[@andersrommelchristiansen9898]

So which container should be used for e-commerce tracking? The main domain or the subdomain?

[@AnalyticsMania]

What? I don't see how this is related. Depends on a website

[@SofieWelle]

Great video! However, I can't get my Google tag to fire when using the "Initialization - All Pages" trigger - only with the "All Pages" trigger. Do you have any idea why this is?

[@dtps_champion6016]

did you import the code from both ga4 and gtm and then connect them via the measurement id?

[@SofieWelle]

probably not @@dtps_champion6016 :) Can you please explain that in a few more words?

[@user-go5mi1zn6z]

Безмерно благодарен за рабочий инструмент в виде новой связки.продолжайте нужную нам всем работу!💯👍

[@abidkhanr]

Can we have a talk?

[@NinshuJain]

I do not see "Conversions" under engagement

[@AnalyticsMania]

Google changed that recently. Not sure if they will bring that report back

[@user-vl7od2nq3o]

How can I get data in GA4 on the number of clicks on individual ads (not Google ads) on our site? Is this not automatically tracked now our developer has put necessary code on our site?

[@AnalyticsMania]

Yes

[@user-vl7od2nq3o]

Thanks. Does that mean I have to use Tag Manager to get data put through to GA4 @@AnalyticsMania?

[@patrick_performanceone]

Do you see LinkedIn Ads traffic in GA4? In the right channel? I have problems with that^^

[@AnalyticsMania]

It's been a while since I last worked with Linkedin ads

[@patrick_performanceone]

@@AnalyticsMania you can be glad 😀Its a mess

[@andronova_videos]

Thank you, this is really helpful

[@NormanJayCabrera]

Is it possible to track Google Analytics on Ads using Facebook as landing page. No website

[@AnalyticsMania]

No

[@jackjr.sparrow3668]

No one does how to manually install a tag to Google site. It’s very confusing…everything was looking fine but later data is not received. I’m lost.

[@Maksitto]

Still have a message "Data collection isn't active for your website If you installed tags more than 48 hours ago..." I did all things from video 4 month ago. What does that mean and how to fix it? Thank you

[@AnalyticsMania]

It means that something is configured incorrectly. But it's difficult to say what without seeing the setup and auditing it.

[@Maksitto]

@@AnalyticsMania I did all things step by step how it's in the video.

[@JoMama_61]

not only is it great to teach others on the updates, it is a great way to make ad revenue money. power of youtube

[@jpg_6]

An easy to understand tutorial all the way until you started talking about GTM. After that I was completely lost.

[@birchcooper5776]

Are you available?

[@rejointrident]

totally lost me with the google tag manager thing

[@jimmyqjones7122]

the new Google A 4 SUCKS !! the old analytics way way BETTER
