Setting up Google Analytics and Tindie

#1

What do I need to do on the Google front to setup analytics for my store on Tindie?

So I’ve created on Google a new site (Nothing changed all default values) which has the url of www.tindie.com and it gave me a long UA-xxxxxx-x code which I then entered on tindies.com Google Analytics text boxt in my store.

Is that all I need to do?

That should be it, yup!

For me, it keeps saying “Status: Tracking Not Installed”. Also, visits don’t show up on the Real-time view… Is there anything else I should do?

I have the same problem:

The Google Analytics tracking code has not been detected on your website’s home page. For Analytics to function, you or your web administrator must add the code to each page of your website.

The source seems to be correct, on https://www.tindie.com/stores/skrodahl, and all the other URLs listed below:

<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-30893124-3', 'auto', {

    });
    ga('send', 'pageview');

            ga('create', 'UA-394223-2', 'auto', {'name': 'tracker1', 'allowLinker': true });
            ga('require', 'linker');
            ga('linker:autoLink', ['tindie.com'] );
            ga('tracker1.send', 'pageview');

</script>

I have tried all sorts of variations of the URL, with and without the trailing forward slash:

All these pages, except for https://www.tindie.com, contain the correct tracking-ID.

Answering my own post,

I set the URL in “Tracking Info” to https://www.tindie.com/, and checked the Real-Time overview. Google Analytics is indeed receiving data.

It still says “Status: Tracking Not Installed” though, but it’s working. Yay!
