Want better Google Analytics data? Learn to tag your campaigns
October 24, 2011 | Online Marketing
One of the most important hurdles to tackle before analyzing data is collecting clean and correct data. There are many ways to make your data more accurate; tagging is one of them.
Although the correct tagging of your campaigns seems something basic, there are still a lot of companies and websites that aren’t tagging at all or do it in a wrong way. This article explains the major tagging issues and how to tag correctly.
The most important issue with tagging your campaigns is the involvement of many different colleagues and partners. More people involved means a bigger chance on errors. Even if all of your colleagues are tagging, it is unlikely that they all use the same notation.
