Google Analytics Tracking Code is Not Working

Question

I setup a Google Analytics account and I setup the website and got the Analytics code which is:

 <script>
      (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
      (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
      m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
      })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

      ga('create', 'UA-4XXXXXXX-1', 'mydomain.com');
      ga('send', 'pageview');
 </script>

I pasted into the Header of all my pages but Analytics keeps saying "Tracking Not Installed".

I viewed and verified the source code is within the header of the home page and the code is there. The site is built on Classic ASP (default.asp) and I have several other sites setup in GA and they worked fine. So I don't know why this isn't working. The code above was provided by GA.

Can someone please tell me why this isn't working?

Answer 1

Give this a try.

<script>
    var _gaq = _gaq || [];  
    _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-4XXXXXXX-1']);  
    _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

    (function() {
      var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
      ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
      var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
    })();
</script>

If you just set this up, you should be able to see analytics in the "Realtime" panel. Many of the other panels can take over a day before analytics are visible.

If you're using Google Chrome, you might also try the tag debugger plugin by ObservePoint or the Official Tag assistant plugin by Google

Answer 2

Have you tried using a tool like HTTPFox (firefox) Google's Google Analytics Debugger (chrome) to monitor http requests? This will tell you if it's firing or not. If it is, check the real-time reports as mentioned in the comments. If it's not, then it's an issue with the code or your page.

Answer 3

I figured out what the problem was. I setup an Account with GA using there new Beta Feature and I guess the account wouldn't work with the code they gave me. So I deleted that account and recreated a Classic Account and took the code I posted above and it worked fine. Thank you all for your help!!
