Google + Etsy Update

Google Analytics + Etsy Update

From Etsy Admin:
Sellers have pointed out that links within the Google Analytics Content reports redirect to their shop homepage instead of the proper listing page. This is a function of Google Analytics internal logic.

We have determined that there is a setting you can change on your Google Analytics profile that will fix this, without impacting data collection. If you already have your Analytics set up, here is how to fix this:

1.Sign in to your Google Analytics account.
2. In the upper right is a menu for “My Analytics Accounts” Select your Etsy shop account. This will take you to the Overview page for that profile.
3. Find the ‘edit’ button for your Etsy shop profile and click it. (click screen shot below for a closer view)

4. In the screen shot below, you will see the website url and the time zone. The time zone was set when you first set up the account. Click the edit button. (click screen shot below for a closer view)

5. Here is where you change your website url…Change this to http://etsy.com

    How do you know all this ? I am eternally grateful for your tips, advice and how to, without it i would still be blindly clicking all the tabs in Analytical and well be none the wiser.
    Thank you.
