Google Analytics made some updates to how it handles campaign data quality and attribution reporting including the new "Data not available" label https://www.seroundtable.com/google-analytics-updates-39281.html

Auf meiner Website läuft ohne meine Wissen Google Analytics.

Eigentlich muss ich es doch aktiviert haben, aber ich kann mich daran nicht erinnern und wüsste nicht warum. Einen Google Account habe ich nicht. Da ich die Seite über 10 Jahre habe, kann ich aber auch nicht ausschließen, dass ich mal was probiert habe, warum auch immer.

Kann es am Seitenbetreiber liegen?

Wie kriege ich es entfernt?

Ich habe dazu bereits gesucht und Tips gefunden. Aber den HTML Code entfernen lässt mein Account wohl nicht zu.

Notice of Data Breach from Blue Shield:

"On February 11, 2025, Blue Shield discovered that, between April 2021 and January 2024, Google Analytics was configured in a way that allowed certain member data to be shared with Google’s advertising product, Google Ads, that likely included protected health information. Google may have used this data to conduct focused ad campaigns targeted back to you.”

What are people using for web analytics nowadays, when you entirely own your tech stack?

@MetGitarenEnZo Ja, heel goed. Sowieso.

Ik schreef daar twee jaar geleden dit blog over, misschien helpt het:

Do I have any peeps in my network who handle Google Tag Manager / GA Events / ad performance setup and maintenance for small biz / solopreneur clients?

(I don’t mind most parts of managing my own tech — but this shit is soul-crushingly frustrating. I am tired of this being my weekend side job.)

Are we past the peak of the pandemic of #GoogleAnalytics and #Facebook pixel? I hope so!

Or is this a detection artefact? Did the adtech #MassSurveillance simply shift elsewhere on the same websites? Any other credible data points?

Snow on the Way

It’s going to snow tonight. Crap. I was going to see if Jen and Harry wanted to go for a drive to look at xmas lights, but now I just want to pull a blanket over my head and hide until the weather clears. I mean, winter officially starts at like 4:00am tomorrow morning. It’s bound to snow eventually. That doesn’t mean I have to like it.

I did a couple of goofy things with this little bloggie today. This post will serve as a bit of a test for one of them. I added a couple of new share buttons. Bluesky and Threads (and Mastodon? Did I add that one too?) are new, and Tumblr was re-added after being removed at least once. I removed twitter/x as well because fuck that musk prick. Fuck him right in his fucking eye. I tested the Bluesky and Threads buttons and they work. I also set new posts to automatically post to Bluesky. When I publish this literary tome I will see if it worked.

Another change, which is internal and should only be viewable by me, is that I think I hooked up to Google Analytics. I’ve had that option for ages now but I never did it. I am at heart a stats geek, so why didn’t I? It seems like I am too late as my engagement stats (the ones built into wordpress.com) are down something like 70% since they peaked back in February. Allow me to make the same caveat I make every time I mention this page’s stats… I really don’t care about the stats, I am just a numbers nerd and like to mess around with them. Also, and definitely most importantly, being down 70% from a very small, some might say microscopic, number is just another small, microscopic, number, dig it? This is not one of those blogs that sees a gajillion hits an hour. I consider myself lucky when I average one hit an hour and in my experience that would be a lot. In other words, I am in no way interested in drumming up business with insipid brain droppings, dig? Like I said twice before in this post, I just like playing with numbers. I have a Computer Science degree for cripes sake. Numbers are fun. Whatever, I am curious if linking up to Google Analytics a) worked, and b) will show me anything fun. I’ll probably write 100000 posts about it over the next few days (assuming it worked, of course).

All of these changes are internal but they might be a hint that a bloggie shake up is coming, and you know what that means… that means I am probably going to start messing with the theme and the layout. Sometimes Robert just cannot stop himself, you know?

What the hell was I talking about? I can’t remember. Oh yeah, it’s going to snow tonight. Doesn’t that suck? I think that sucks.

Oh well. I am going to click Publish now. Here’s hoping we cross post over to the ol’ Bluesky Social. Wish the bloggie luck……….
