Is the new Google Analytics code buggy?

Not sure if you heard that Google has released a new code to insert in your website so you can benefit from the new metrics Google has stated that Analyitics will provide. Well, it would seem that some users, myself included, have experienced major issues with the new code.

For me it started when the code causes a major glitch if you run it on an ASP page running through IIS (page will crash). Ok, this was pretty easy to fix but the next issue was not possible. The new code would not register any stats. That means for the 4 days I had the new code installed I registered 0 for everything. I fixed that problem by going back to the old code.

So be warned as the new code may not be ready for primetime yet.

  • Yep...I have the new code on two sites, one it claims it is receiving data—but the page views aren't accurate. The other has had the code installed for nearly 48 hours and Analytics "sees" it but is still waiting for data...

  • Same is with me. New ga.js must be having problems tracking the data from certain sources.. Since we installed it shows the traffic dropped by 100%! I will go back to their legacy code until it's out from beta.
