But what happens when you make changes to your website and start to see browser error messages? Don't panic. Check these issues to avoid common mistakes.<br /> <br /> 1. Check the tracking code<br /> Correctly installed Google Analytics tracking code does not generate browser errors. If you're seeing them, first check that your tracking code is installed exactly as it appears in your Google Analytics profile setting. Learn how to find your tracking code in the help center article <a title="Where Can I Find My Tracking Code?" href="//www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=31845">Where Can I Find My Tracking Code?</a><br /> <br /> 2. Test your page<br /> Google Analytics uses JavaScript code that is designed not to interfere with other JavaScript on your website. That said, when an error occurs, browser error messages often reference the first script executed. On a site using our tracking code, that is usually the first script executed, which makes debugging confusing. When debugging JavaScript on a site tracked by Google Analytics, try commenting out or temporarily removing the tracking code until you can detect and correct the error. Once your code is bug-free, adding the tracking code back in should not cause any browser errors to occur.<br /> <br /> 3. Secure your site<br /> Another feature of many dynamic sites is the use of a secure section for things such as shopping carts or user registration. When tracking these areas, check the secure status of your pages. If you're seeing an error or a notice that some portions of the page are not secure, make sure you are using the secure version of the tracking code. Compare the standard versus the secure version: <div style="margin-left: 40px;"><br />Standard: <<span style="font-family:Courier New, Courier, mono;">script src=</span>"<span style="font-family:Courier New, Courier, mono;">http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js</span>"<span style="font-family:Courier New, Courier, mono;"> type=</span>"<span style="font-family:Courier New, Courier, mono;">text/javascript</span>"><span style="font-family:Courier New, Courier, mono;"> </span><br /><br />Secure: <<span style="font-family:Courier New, Courier, mono;">script src=</span>"<span style="font-family:Courier New, Courier, mono;">https://ssl.google-analytics.com/urchin.js</span>"<span style="font-family:Courier New, Courier, mono;"> type=</span>"<span style="font-family:Courier New, Courier, mono;">text/javascript</span>"><span style="font-family:Courier New, Courier, mono;"><br /></span><br /></div> For more information, take a look at this article in the troubleshooting section of the help center: <a href="//www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/static.py?page=troubleshooter.cs&problem=tracking&selected=tracking_secure&ctx=tracking__">How can I obtain tracking code for secure pages?</a><br /><br />We want you to maximize the power of your site by using Analytics—and that includes successful integration of the tracking code without introducing errors or preventing you from perfecting the other code on your site.

And we want you to avoid the few pitfalls that we have seen around configuration of filters, goals, and e-commerce. For example, when a filter is accidentally implemented incorrectly in a profile, important data can get excluded from that profile's reports. Another example relates to goals: creating a goal in a profile and then changing it is common, but the historical data in that profile will always reflect the first goal, which may not be desirable. For the dates they were implemented, these configurations will unfortunately modify data for that time period permanently.<br /> <br />One simple yet powerful way to avoid incorrect modifications is to use duplicate profiles to test out changes to your account settings. This way, you can ensure that you have implemented the settings correctly without affecting the data in your main profile. <span style="font-weight: bold;">When you duplicate profiles, the new data you collect appears in several profiles at once, letting you manipulate the duplicate data in different ways. </span>You can then keep the original profile unaltered so it can contain every piece of data collected by the tracking code on your site.<br /> <br />Using duplicate profiles is a great way to explore some of the more advanced functionality that Analytics has to offer without the risk of making mistakes. It lets you experiment without losing the data that you are already using for your analysis.<br /> <span class="q"><br /> </span>For example, let's say that you want to implement an Include Filter to include only data from a <a href="//www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=26907">particular subdirectory</a><span style="font-style: italic;"></span>. If you implemented this filter in your main profile, you might make a syntax error and inadvertently include none of your data in your reports. Or several months down the road, you may decide that you are actually interested in the rest of the data from your site, but now have no way of seeing it. A duplicate profile will let you ensure that the filter is implemented correctly, and it leaves the option open to analyze the data from your main profile in the future.<br /> <br /> Click <a href="//www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=43864">here</a> for more information about creating duplicate profiles in your account.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by </span><span class="byline-author">Eliah Gilfenbaum, Google Analytics Team</span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> Google Analytics allows you to easily configure, filter, and focus your site's traffic data in powerful ways.

Or several months down the road, you may decide that you are actually interested in the rest of the data from your site, but now have no way of seeing it. A duplicate profile will let you ensure that the filter is implemented correctly, and it leaves the option open to analyze the data from your main profile in the future.<br /> <br /> Click <a href="//www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=43864">here</a> for more information about creating duplicate profiles in your account.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by </span><span class="byline-author">Eliah Gilfenbaum, Google Analytics Team</span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://analytics.googleblog.com/2006/11/tip-experiment-using-duplicate.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Google Analytics Solutions:Tip: Experiment using duplicate profiles&url=https://analytics.googleblog.com/2006/11/tip-experiment-using-duplicate.html&via=google'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://analytics.googleblog.com/2006/11/tip-experiment-using-duplicate.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='116340393941251499' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://analytics.googleblog.com/2006/11/tip-cross-segment-for-bloggers_12.html' itemprop='url' title='Tip: A cross-segment for bloggers'> Tip: A cross-segment for bloggers </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> November 13, 2006 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> A few people at the Emetrics Summit told us they'd like to learn more tips and tricks for implementing Google Analytics.

But what do those ROI numbers in your reports really mean?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ROI </span>is <span style="font-weight: bold;">(Revenue - Cost)/Cost</span>, expressed as a percentage.<br />-<span style="font-weight: bold;">Revenue </span>is taken from either the value you set as your goal value(s), or from e-commerce revenue values if you have set up e-commerce tracking.<br />-<span style="font-weight: bold;">Cost </span>is currently only derived from your AdWords CPC (cost-per-click) values imported from your AdWords account when you link your Analytics and AdWords accounts with auto-tagging turned on.<br /><br />An ROI of 0% means that you earned in revenue the same amount of money you spent. An ROI of 100% means that you spent, say, $5, and made $10. In other words, you spent X and received 2X in revenue. A minus sign (-100%) indicates that you lost all of the money you spent. (If your numbers are all -100%, it's probably because you haven't <a href="//www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=26926">configured e-commerce<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></a> <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>or <a href="//www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=26910">defined values for your goals</a> and therefore Google Analytics isn't registering any revenue.)<br /><br />It's not uncommon to get an ROI percentage of several hundred or even several thousand. These kinds of ROIs simply indicate that your Revenue is many times greater than your Cost. Depending upon your business, you might need an ROI of 1000% just to break even. Let's say that you sell golf clubs online for $500 per set. You spend $100 on the keyword [beginner golf clubs], which results in 5 sales for a total of $2,500.<br /><br />In this case, the AdWords Analysis Report will show that you've made a 2,400% ROI. But you need to factor in your operating expenses and your production costs to understand how much money you've actually made. For example, if your cost of purchasing or manufacturing the clubs is $350, you've really only made $150 per set x 5 = $750.

But what do those ROI numbers in your reports really mean?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ROI </span>is <span style="font-weight: bold;">(Revenue - Cost)/Cost</span>, expressed as a percentage.<br />-<span style="font-weight: bold;">Revenue </span>is taken from either the value you set as your goal value(s), or from e-commerce revenue values if you have set up e-commerce tracking.<br />-<span style="font-weight: bold;">Cost </span>is currently only derived from your AdWords CPC (cost-per-click) values imported from your AdWords account when you link your Analytics and AdWords accounts with auto-tagging turned on.<br /><br />An ROI of 0% means that you earned in revenue the same amount of money you spent. An ROI of 100% means that you spent, say, $5, and made $10. In other words, you spent X and received 2X in revenue. A minus sign (-100%) indicates that you lost all of the money you spent. (If your numbers are all -100%, it's probably because you haven't <a href="//www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=26926">configured e-commerce<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></a> <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>or <a href="//www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=26910">defined values for your goals</a> and therefore Google Analytics isn't registering any revenue.)<br /><br />It's not uncommon to get an ROI percentage of several hundred or even several thousand. These kinds of ROIs simply indicate that your Revenue is many times greater than your Cost. Depending upon your business, you might need an ROI of 1000% just to break even. Let's say that you sell golf clubs online for $500 per set. You spend $100 on the keyword [beginner golf clubs], which results in 5 sales for a total of $2,500.<br /><br />In this case, the AdWords Analysis Report will show that you've made a 2,400% ROI. But you need to factor in your operating expenses and your production costs to understand how much money you've actually made. For example, if your cost of purchasing or manufacturing the clubs is $350, you've really only made $150 per set x 5 = $750. That gives you an ROI of ($750 - $100)/$100 = 650%.<br /><br />It's best to use ROI as a guide to your keyword spending instead of as the final answer on how much you've made.

In fact, because this metric is found in so many reports, you can compare per-visit values for organic search referrals, paid keywords, CPC campaigns -- and almost anything else you can think of.
