I don't understand what is longUrlClicks parameter in google analytics url-shortener's shortURL history: https://developers.google.com/url-shortener/v1/getting_started#url_analytics
If it represents the number of clicks on this url then how does google know it? I can assume that google counts only clicks that were made from one of google subdomains... am I right?
analytics.allTime.shortUrlClicks = Number of clicks on this short URL.
analytics.allTime.longUrlClicks = Number of clicks on all goo.gl short URLs pointing to this long URL.

I have an issue in Facebook URL builder.
The issue is I have set in the parameter into URL builder that doesn't shown in Google analytic.
Set Campaign name : facebook

Anyone knows what the problems???

Surely it is not a problem of the values of the UTM parameters, I just tried with my Property follow a link from Facebook with your UTM:
It is likely that a redirect will make you lose them (try to check the url in address bar when you open the site page by clicking on that Facebook link, probably you can't see the parameters).
If instead the parameters are present, try to wait for the data to be acquired in Analytics report and check in the report of source / medium.
Real-time reporting is not very reliable, especially for campaign values.
I'm analysing the Internal Referral Sources table for my app in the Facebook insights and I don't know what the following items are:
reminders
other_multiline
appcenter_request
reminders = At the top of the right hand column on the News Feed, we will surface reminders for commonly used applications. These appear near birthday reminders, pokes, and other notifications. Clicks from here will have the reminders fb_source parameter appended.
other_multiline =
Found when a user is brought to your app through an open graph multi-line story. Currently this fb_source param can be found in stories on timeline, ticker and newsfeed.
appcenter_request = When a user clicks on a request from within App Center, we set the fb_source value to appcenter_request.

I want to create one feature for my website page. that is when I am logged into my gmail account at that time I want to notify or blinking on my web page.

If I get you right, you need to add your google or facebood account status in your page.
Google: Add this line to your page

Facebook: Answer from here
Facebook has a Twitter-like feature in which you can update your "status" -- a one-liner formatted as [whatever you type].
It's now possible to export your Facebook status as an RSS feed, which means you can add it to your own choice site.
The hard part is finding your personal status "feed." Go to your Facebook Profile page and look for the "Mini-Feed" box. Click on the "See all" link. On the right rail of the resulting page is a list of links; one of them is "Status stories." That's the one you want. Click it.
Now you have a page labeled "My Mini-Feed" that is limited to your own status updates. Look in the right rail for an RSS icon and a label, "Subscribe to these stories." There's your RSS link.
Grab the URL and add it to the Aggregator on your website. Set the refresh time to the lowest possible value (15 minutes) and make sure cron runs at least that frequently.
Currently, the Aggregator module produces a block for each feed. You can place that block in any region. Voila: Your Facebook status is now reflected on your website.
I have implemented the like button on a website. People have liked the website, and I have the option to administer that open graph object. However, on the administration page I see the following notice:
Administer Your Page
This is the administration interface for your
webpage at [...]. You can see Insights and
publish to the users that have liked your webpage. Only the
administrators of the webpage can view this interface, other users are
sent to the webpage.
This is a ghost page, because, as the notice says, only the administrator(s) can see it. I don't want the behavior of users being sent to my website. I want them to be able to stay on Facebook and see this page, just like they would see and interact with another business page.
Is there a tool or a request form to do this kind of migration (i.e. from an open graph page to a normal business page)?
I have researched for about two days for this issue, but I have not found any leads.
According to this help article, you can merge two facebook pages into one. But the constraint is that you can merge to a page with higher likes only, and the page with fewer likes will be removed. I am not sure if it works for ghost pages or not.
Shef, let me try to answer:
if you have an app myapp, that is canvas url https://apps.facebook.com/myapp
then you will have an application profile page: http://www.facebook.com/myapp [*]
So if a search your app from google or facebook, then they come to first this page,
and if they click go to app, they reach to your app.
However if you have just implemented like url: myapp.com/myitem=1
then you will have this "ghost" page. You need this ghost page, because you need somewhere
to administrate your likes
So you are asking a real page instead ghost, well this is hard to implement this request by facebook guys. Because there is like link to refer some url. So there must be some pop up asking user: 'Do you want to follow link or go to business page instead'
[*] username is not available anymore for facebook apps. see How to get name of facebook application page?
You can use the ref parameter while specifying your like button. This ref parameter will be set by Facebook, for all url's/links that appear on Facebook, i.e wherever this like action is displayed with the link to the url liked by the user. So you know when a user visits your page through Facebook. Check the following from this link:
ref - a label for tracking referrals; must be less than 50 characters and can contain alphanumeric characters and some punctuation (currently +/=-.:_). The ref attribute causes two parameters to be added to the referrer URL when a user clicks a link from a stream story about a Like action:
fb_ref - the ref parameter
fb_source - the stream type ('home', 'profile', 'search', 'other') in which the click occurred and the story type ('oneline' or 'multiline'), concatenated with an underscore.
Upon calling your url you can redirect the user to the page on Facebook that you want. Business pages on Facebook have a particular url, of course, and you can easily do the redirect.
I don't think that you have an option to migrate an open graph page to a normal business page. You can however create your page, and give it the same name as your website. The draw back here would be when users like your page on Facebook, you won't be able to accumulate the likes already garnered by your website.
EDIT
Take a look at the like box plugin (Facebook doc here ). It can be used to like pages that are on Facebook itself, from external websites. This way you will be able to accumulate your likes. You can also modify the plugin to look like a like button, not fully but almost. But you still end up creating a new page. And the old likes will not be available.
there is a huge discrepancy between the number of likes our page has received and the number of likes displayed when using the like button, and giving it the facebook page's URL (like button is much higher). Does anyone know why this happens?
As described in the doc :
What makes up the number shown on my Like button?
The number shown is the sum of:
The number of likes of this URL
The number of shares of this URL (this includes copy/pasting a link back to Facebook)
The number of likes and comments on stories on Facebook about this URL
The number of inbox messages containing this URL as an attachment.
I am a Facebook Partner Engineer working on platform. To bring your Facebook page Likes to your web page you should use the Like Box rather than the like button. This will allow you to gain Facebook page likes from your website while also giving you the option to show your page's stream stories right in your web site.
You can find out more about the like box here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
I hope this helps!

My understanding is the like button aggregates likes, comments and other interactions.
Basically the counter next to the button isn't the like count but an activity or interaction count.
You can get the actual like count through the graph api if you need it.
