****Update**** See how to add Google Analytics 4 to a website + a workaround: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ySxA5iqRBNE.html. A new version of Google Analytics was released called GA4. This is why step 2 in this video (adding the tracking code) appears different for some people.
@@lyricspencerbooks8467 In Google Analytics, a property is a website, mobile application, or blog, etc., that is associated with a unique tracking ID. So just put in name of your website or blog.
Also a recommendation, you should make another video in case Monster Insights has an issue with connecting with the Google insight account. I had the issue and was able to resolve it by changing my coverage to global instead of GA4 or something. Might help people in the future.
Thank you Daragh. Just launched my first blog website. Totally new to this. I found your video straightforward and easy to follow, especially for someone like me who is not computer/tech savvy and am learning as I go along from RU-vid videos. Cheers Buddy.
Hi everything worked for me up until the point I opened an incognito page and refreshed the analytics page and it still says no data received in the last 48hours. Do you know what I did wrong because on the monster insights account it shows my tracking id
Be sure to check Google Analytics reports again in 24 hours. See a few more ways to check it's working here: www.monsterinsights.com/how-to-check-if-google-analytics-is-working/
If I remove monsterinsights plugin from WordPress after setup is completed and running, will it affect analytics data? As I don't want to use this plugin anymore
Great video. Thank u. I have a question though. Is there a filtering solution to sorting landing pages in GA? Currently when I get the stats for top landing pages it brings up all pages in order of most hits. I need to filter so that it brings up only the pages in the menu options. Would be great to resolve this. Is there any filtering method u know of?
If you're using word press premium plan you wont have access to plugins so you cant use the monster tool. This is a great video and showed me how to make a google analytics quick and simple. If you're using Word Press Premium plan go ahead and set up google analytics. To add to your word press website to Tools>Marketing>Traffic and then scroll down to google analytics. Copy Google Analytics Tracking ID and save changes. Done
Update! I deleted wordpress premium and got a full refund (minus the domain) because I was very limited in what I could do and didn’t like them for the hosting website. I deleted my site, registered to host gater so word press is free that way! I’m doing this as a hobby to start a blog and have no background in web building Incase anyone is judging 😂
Thank you Daragh! I've just used this to set up Analytics for a work website and the explanation was perfect. It helped me to trouble-shoot too. Excellent, concise explanation.
I guess you are using Google analytics 4 property and in this version you will have measurement id instead of tracking code. Please check this video to know more - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ySxA5iqRBNE.html
I did every step in this video and it works. i like the way you explain the tutorial. nice and clear. perhaps you can share the simple way how to install facebook pixel for the next video. thanks anyway, Daragh
Hi Amy, A new version of Google Analytics was released in October 2020 (GA4). This is why step 2 in this video (adding the tracking code) appears different for some people. Click below to see how to add Google Analytics 4 to a website + a workaround: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ySxA5iqRBNE.html
All new google analytics accounts created after October 2020 by default use new version of analytics called google analytics 4 and that's why the steps are different. In property settings click on advanced and select setup universal analytics property and you will find same options as shown in the video.
I followed a different tutorial 6 months ago, and it left out the script code for the head, and it wasn't until now that I added it! Thanks so much! I was wondering why the tracking wasn't working.
Very helpful information. But the test seems not to reflect the view... Could it be because I signed in Chrome with the same Google Account? Appreciate if you could advise.
hey Daragh, I'm a fellow countryman lol I started a new property site but after i hit admin it doesn't give me a 'tracking info' option. when i hit the home page i get- 'No data received from your website or app yet. To start collecting data make sure your website is tagged or the Google Firebase SDK is installed into your app.' I then click 'Data Streams' and 'Caution Data collection isn’t active for your website. If you installed tags more than 48 hours ago, make sure that they are set up correctly.' what am i doing wrang?
You are using new version of analytics called google analytics 4. I suggest you to create a new property and click on show advanced option and choose universal property then you will see same options as shown in the video.

good morning, tried to create a google analytics account but Cameroon (my country) is not listed where you need to tick to agree to the terms and conditions please I need your help on what to do
Hi there. I absolutely don't understand what I'm doing wrong, but I don't get pass Sign Up option. It takes me to a google sign in page, then I'm taken to an empty page with Google Analytics logo on a top left (when I click on it nothing happens) and my empty avatar icon on a top right with a drop down menu (opens to Platform Home and Data Studio). No matter what I do, I am always taken to this empty screen, in every browser. I just don't know how to sign up. Normally I'm not very daft
Hi Daragh, great video! I've liked and subscribed to you channel! I am wondering if there is a way to use google analytics to see if someone has opened up your emails you have sent? Thanks!
not clear at all. there is no such thing as "right after head tag" and you showed what does that even mean? right after " " means INSIDE the head tag ! after the head tag it means after also if you are so afraid of showing the id tracker on youtube how are you willing to copy it in frontend of your website? and you dont even bother to copy paste it to show what "right after head ta" means or to explain how thats ok to just show it to public. gtfoh
At 00:49 you refer to two options within Google analytics 'Sign into Analytics' and 'start for free'. I am not presented with either option. All there is is 'Move property' and 'move to trash can'?????
Everything was fine until we got to this page 1:23 then it was different and didn't ask me to choose the website.. it just has "Create a Google Analytics 4 property to measure your web and/or app data." which I have no idea what to put in there? I worked it out... just had a few different options but sorted it now.
So you see at 1.22 where it says “next” above that it says “you have access to 100 accounts. The max is 100” for me and this is my first time using it other than signing in to get my certificate so what could this mean? Is someone else using my account?
I can't get to the "What do you want to measure" section for some reason, it takes me directly to "Property setup" after Account Setup. Did I do something wrong?
why if I enter the web menu after continuing then we will fill in the website name and website url. Conversely, if the option is NOT WEB then the website URL is not there? thanks
