I've noticed that since Thursday I dropped from 20-60 visits per day to 1 on Thursday to 0 every day since. My sales seem unaffected though.

I haven't touched my shop's design during that time. Anyone else have trouble with theirs?

I think it is a CP bug. You might want to file a report.

Same here. When I checked on Saturday my hits went down drastically since the 4th. THE 4th! The same day as the System Maintenance. Hmmmmm! Great another bug, maybe. I guess I'll file a bug report now.

A fix has been posted in the General Help section here

In my capacity as a member of the general web public, I can tell you that google analytics is the one thing lagging enough page loads for me these days that I'm considering blocking it just to speed things up.

I have filed a bug report. Tried CaliCam's tip.
Get the canned report they are working on it. But I am still flat-lined on GA. Frustrating, but not the end of the world! It was a tool I enjoyed using, but not crucial to my shop's existence.

Yay! Google Analytics seems to be working again! ^__^

Yes, I'm glad it's working too, I'd just signed up for it, and couldn't get it to work!
Can you tell me PixelGarden...if you visit your own shop, does it count your visits in with others?
Thanks...just wondering,

It does count your own visits, but you can go into your Google Account and set a filter to ignore your IP address or your browser.

Just curious, what does "working" mean? Because it doesn't seem to be working for me.

I signed up for Google Analytics (I have used it many times for other site, and I am very familiar with it). I added the tracking ID to the appropriate place in my CP account settings. Saved it.

When I refresh my store, I see an area where it added the appropriate script, with my tracking ID (UA-4856xxx-x). However, if you scroll to the bottom of the page, it also has another script for GA using the tracking ID UA-3370374-1. The code is a little different, and sets the DomainName to "cafepress.com".

Does this confuse GA? Will it use both scripts to track the page (one for my site, one for cafepress.com in general)? If so, why does the Google Analytics tracking checker tell me that my code is still not installed?

Of course, I can wait a day to see if I get reports, but I would think the checker would find the code immediately and let me know my site is ready to track. Just like it does for any other site I have use GA on.

I do not want to use the legacy code -- GA recommends against using it, especially in conjunction with the new code on the same page (which it appears CP adds automatically). Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Michael, I noticed this on mine recently... you may want to check if the status on google analytics shows "tracker not installed" but it is actually collecting data...weird. I'm using the premium shop option for inserting the tracking code. Perhaps because the javascript is nested in a table google isn't picking it up? Which is also strange, because the third party tool google points to for verification picks it up fine (along with cafepress's duplicate tracker.)

Kenjiro, thanks for mentioning that it might be working. Mine says the code is not installed, but it seems to be tracking in spite of that.
