brochure.html --> what is it?

[remmo]

I've been checking my site stats with Analytics and see a large number of clicks to and from a page called brochure.html

However I don't have a page called brochure.html

Putting this into a browser gives me a page not found error. What can this be?

[gabrielcrowe]

you're right, it does not.

but this could also be caused by a page linking to a page that does not exist.

right click on your 'previewhtml' folder inside your site folder. and select search

in the first box, the files to search type *.*

(thats star dot star)

in the next one type brochure.html

this will let you know if that string of text appears in your website and where

[Bodykits]

Thats to do with the settings in your outer layout using PageType variable. If you previe a brochure page and view source you will see the "brochure.html" in the Google analytics script. I have replaced mine with BruchurePageURL variable:

Copy and paste just after this bit:
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-XXXXXX-X";


<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e" >
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Brochure%22" >
urchinTracker(<actinic:variable name="BrochurePageURL" />);
</actinic:block>
<actinic:block if="%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Section%22%29" >
urchinTracker();
</actinic:block>
</actinic:block>
</script>


That seems to work, only uploaded mine today but works ok when viewing the page source
Hope that helps

brochure.html is the root index file according to GA

[robmob]

Is #3 the only solution. I have just got Eileens GA coding working (after having deleted it all once and re-pasted as first time I couldn't get it to work).

However I now have the same issue of having GA report majority of page views as Brochure.html.

Having not been too successful at first in getting GA to work I am a little afraid of messing around with the code kindly laid out by Eileen.

Has anyone else come up against this and found a solution?

Thanks

Hi

I am looking to get the most of our our analytics and note I am still suffering with this Brochure.html as showing as the most visted page - with the highest bounce rate - even though the page does not exist. I have tried the search suggested in the thread but that did not turn anything up.

I am now on v9.05 and had to have the help of tech support to get the GA code working so I don't really want to mess around with that if it can be helped.

Is there another possible explaination and solution? I would hate to think that all the people landing on the page are actually seeing the 404 message we have set up - but that may equally explain why the bounce rate is 10x that of the next most popular landing page.

Many thanks

Looking at your source code it's your Google Analytics code calling the page in question.

</script><script type="text/javascript">
<!--
_uacct = "UA-169573-1";
urchinTracker('Brochure.html');
// -->
</script>

remove what i have highlighted (or what ever is in-between it) and it will solve the problem. But i would suggest re-visiting your GA code as it could do with tidying up to remove the redundant coding. It maybe giving out false info

Many thanks for quick repsonse on this one. If I have this right if I remove just the words "Brochure.html" from this section of code then it should fix?

Is this section of code part of the Actinic GA code or could this be left over from previous versions when we had to set it all up manually?

Regards

[Chunkford]

Yes it will be fine. If not you can always put it back

You basically have 2 sets of GA code on the page. The new GA code and the old urchin code.
Also in the GA code you are not calling the google javascript properly.

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">

</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
_uacct = "UA-XXXXXX-X";
urchinTracker('Brochure.html');
// -->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://analytics.aweber.com/js/awt_analytics.js?id=9EXz"></script><script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "acatalog/google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXX-X");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>

Purple is old which needs to be moved, and green is new. In red is the wrong call to the GA javascript, which needs to lose the acatalog/ part

Without seeing how the layouts are in your site, it's hard to direct you too where to remove and change the call to the GA javascript file.

Do you use aweber? is that code being used properly? [EDIT: Ignore me, need glasses]

[robmob]

Just had a look at the actula Actinic coding in design view and this is what is showing:



Is is safe to remove that whole section or do I have to just remove PageType.html?

Thanks

Many thanks. You may have guessed I was busy trying to capture an image of my code as you posted you last repsonse. I will have to learn how to capture and display code as you have.

The Aweber code (as shown in my posted image) is the code as supplied by Aweber which in the flow of the code sits just above the Actinic GA code - I hope it is not messing it up.

I will however remove the old urchin code as suggested.

Looking at the picture, remove the top 14 lines.
Then double click on Google Analytics Tracking Code and post another screen shot of the code

[robmob]

Paul

Done that and here is code from the double click on Google Analytics Tracking Code:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsGoogleAnalyticsEnabled%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20true" >
<script type="text/javascript">
	var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
	document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("<actinic:variable name="GoogleAnalyticsNumber" />");
	pageTracker._initData();
	pageTracker._trackPageview(<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Receipt%22">"/receipt.html"</actinic:block>);
</script>
</actinic:block>

Not sure why all those %20 etc have appeared so here is the image also:

[Chunkford]

ummm, it should be fine.
Upload it and see if the acatalog/ part is still showing

[Chunkford]

Just realised that the acatalog/ part is on the front page only. Still upload tho and let me know when it is uploaded.
