This video is raking on google first page for the keyword "google analytics 4.0" in less than 15 mins? Cool!
Is it critical that you specify https (instead of just http) when setting up the stream? I messed this up and there's no way to go back! You can't delete it and it cautions you about just making a new one. It's reporting, but the data doesn't jive with my UA report.
I'm not sure about the just "rip the bandaid" off advice here. The safest thing would be to just add the GA4 and keep the UA in place doing its thing. This way depending on you're personality and preferences you'll have the UA still. Cause who knows you might just like it better. Just my 2 cents.
Do you know if MonsterInsights has made it so their plugin is compatible with GA4?
Can I keep both the codes for old and new property in old and new analytics ?
I wonder when they will be able to tell us when a visitor scratches their nose
Just ordered my VAs to make sure this is done for all of my websites.
I am stuck! Can someone tell me how to do this part? I want it to track every page of my website. Where do I put it so it will track everything?
"Copy and paste this code as the first item into the <head> of every webpage you want to measure."
Oh dear. I am not receiving any data to Google Analytics anymore. WordPress.com stats shows me daily visitors.
Hey What about the Stream ID or the Measurement ID that goes on the Acabado theme, What should I do there, I still have the UA XXXX or whatever code is… you didn´t mention that, because Acabado is still asking for them UA code? I'm confused
Thanks
So, don't just click on "Upgrade to GA4" that I see at top of the Property list? Or do that also?
Hey, where have you been guys? Did you abort the channels? Margin has not got a new article for more than 1 month and this channel has 1 article before 6 days…What is happening?

Property setup is my first step?
Do we also need monsterinsight plugin for this?
How to hide “tags” on WordPress. Currently using newspaper theme. A newbie.
Anyone can help me !
Thanks 😊
Hi guys! Thanks you so much for the amazing videos. Planning in the near future to join your program. I've got a suggestion for a video in your channel that I can't seem to find. How do you avoid losing affiliate traffic? For example, ensuring that the traffic you get actually clicks your links and doesn't ends up just visiting and leaving, where do you suggest to place links? I've got a completely custom coded site I built called TheTradingBible.com that is on the trading subject, extremely competitive yet with the very little time investment I could do at this current point I managed to get it running slowly and rank N1 on one of our articles (barely 10+ articles). Would really love to see a video on this subject! Cheers!
Right now conversion tracking doesn’t work. Can’t believe Google rolled this out without it
THANK YOU!!! Just made the switch. So glad you told us about this. Seems like it'll be so beneficial!
Still trying to figure out how to adjust the Google Tag Manager as well, I moved to google analytics 4 but now I can't track my outbound affiliate clicks… anyone else struggling with this ?
SO I need to DELETE the old code now and startfresh EVERYTHING??
😊 Played a clip of this video and gave you a shout out in today's episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zij6SRu2zD8&list=PLDw-cAxU1NrDqklPCkRPrNzC7e6_nNe5k&index=16 👌
A new Site with that much traffic? Should be one of their new sites from the past video – concretequestions.com 🙂 Looking forward for the study.
I use exacta metrics which doesn't work with the GA4 stuff. Is anyone using a different plug in or just not using a plugin?
I added a new site now my tracking code is no longer showing in property settings 🙁
Does anyone know how to set a "thank you" page visite as a conversion in GA4? I can set the name of the conversion but am unable to define what should be considered a conversion. This was easy to do in the old GA..
Nah, I don't really like the new one. It can only be integrated via the tag manager. (At least for me) Connecting via the old GA simply does not work. Otherwise, everything seems chaotic.
I don't want to waste any more time to create a new dashboard in the app. I use the TG and have everything I need (outgoing links, scroll depth, YT, search console, etc.)
In short: Sorry, but I see no improvement. What benefit is great data if it is not presented quick and easy?
Hey Guys, upgraded to the new analytics 4…App for iphone not showing any data though, been about 3 days, im definitely getting traffic but no data in the app…
any suggestions?
Anybody else use the method of forwarding the information from GA3 to GA4, but not have the results get pushed? I created a new GA4 account yesterday and choose "use existing on-page tag," but now it's 24 hours later and no info shows up with GA4. GA3 does show the data.
Is there a way to transfer my 'view' to a GA4 property?
Thank you very much for keeping us informed 😇
Anybody know how to add Google Adsense to GA4?
I almost bought that same spotlight for my filming studio.
Thanks, Jim & Ricky. I really enjoy your channel. Every video has 100% retention from me. I just installed GA4 on both of my sites. So thanks for the heads up. I would like to join project 24 but I'm waiting for a sale.
The new course sounds really good. A lot of other courses neglect YouTube.
Just clicked for once on the bell just to be notified when you release a video on that one week site getting 1600 pageviews! Like what??? 😳
Apparently you can continue collecting data with the old Google Analytics property (The old interface) by moving the old tracking code into the <body> section of your web pages, and adding the new GA4 code into the <head> section 🙂
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4/basic-tag?technology=analyticsjs#if_you_use_analyticsjs
When creating a new property in the "admin" section, my analytics don't have apps and web(Beta). Instead, I have three options: IOS, Android, WEB. 🙁
EDITED: Ah, in my analytics, you need to go to your old existing property settings, and there is a new BUTTON "Upgrade to GA4" (google analytics 4)
so for acabado, do you put the G code into the analytics code in the settings or do we have to go into the code area to put that in?
I don't know if I'm missing something, but I can't add the new code to my Youtube channel; it only seems to want to accept the old tracking ID. Is anyone else finding this? Is it a case of waiting for YT to update their end, or am I missing something?
There is an option to upgrade to GA4 under the "Property" admin section, but although it seems they are planning on allowing the "old data" to copy over some time by asking you to link the GA3 to the new GA4 property, so far it indeed is "ripping the bandaid".
To be able to link them, both "properties" must be in the same "account".
We found 2 issues:
1) It seems the new GA4 once linked hits page speed insights by 8-10 points (both on mobile and desktop) if you have both properties linked or 2-4 points if you only replace the tag for the new one, and
2) You can't exclude IPs via filters, so for us as a marketing/web development firm, "polluting" data with our internal sessions on pages we're working on is a drawback.
