I have a google adwords campaign (search) that is targeting my Facebook iframe tab application.
Unfortunately, I cannot find a way to see clicks from campaign in Google analytics that I have set up for tab. It shows pageview and visitor, but I cannot separate if it comes from campaign or direct traffic....
I have found some workaround for setting up analytics so it can track traffic sources correctly since facebook (for its privacy) adds the s-static.ak.facebook etc.. link so it doesnt show correct traffic source.
Did anyone of you had this issue and fixed it ? It would mean a world to me.
Thanks in advance
There is a way to separate organic traffic (clicks on tab happening on fanpage) and paid traffic (facebook ads or adwords campaign leading directly to the custom tab). I just finished a blog post about how to do it.

Recently Apple introduced a custom product page feature where multiple different App landing pages can be made.
While running Facebook ads, there is no option to link an ad set to a particular landing page’s Url. It only detects the app and sends to main listing.
Any experience with this?
Can any 3rd party service like Appsflyer help in this case?
Seems there is no chance to do it because Facebook didn't give such an opportunity even with deep links. Only web2app solutions.
Good day,
Background: We have a single web application that multiple external websites link to; users visit www.aaa.com or www.bbb.com and can then click through to our web site at www.example.com.
When we send email comms, the users are directed to their respective client URL.
We require a method of tracking these users from email comms using Google Analytics so that we can see their activity in the Campaigns section.
Issue: The problem is that whilst we have Google Analytics enabled on www.example.com, we are not able to install analytics on client URLs. This means that if we affix the Google tags after the URL in emails, these are stripped out when a user then navigates around a client URL before visiting ours. This then means they do not appear in the 'Campaigns' tab of GA. That is:
trackable --> www.example.com?utm_source=offeremail&utm_campaign=testcampaign&utm_medium=email
not trackable -- > www.aaa.com?utm_source=offeremail&utm_campaign=testcampaign&utm_medium=email
Question: Are we able to start the tracking once a user clicks a link in an email but then accesses our site from another site and then show the results in the campaign tab?
Thank you!
Short answer: No. You need to pass the UTM-parameters in the URL for Google Analytics to understand it is campaign traffic. This is usually the issue with redirects between websites, that this UTM-tagging is lost, thus losing the campaign information.
What I would suggest is that you look at referrals or have your clients add tracking to the links back to your website. Then correlate that to the dates of your send-outs. It is a bit of a middleground, but it should do the trick to atleast see trending success.
We publish advertisement on facebook and we have a new domain. The problem is that advertisement click rate on facebook panel is 6193 but only 1682 person enter website accordşng to google analytic.
There are about 4500 hit which is lost. AS you know, users are redirected to our website after click on facebook advertisement but they cannot access to our website. we are waiting your kindly response.

Try using Google's URL builder to properly code the landing page URL in such a way that GA will recognize the traffic as having come from your FB advertising campaign. Here's a blog describing how it is done.
For reasons that I do not yet completely understand - but apparently have to do with the internal FB redirect process for ads, much of my traffic from Facebook shows up in Google Analytics as (direct)/(none). I've found that setting the GA UTM codes on the landing page URL will help by using Google's URL builder helps with this issue.
More generally, in my experience, advertiser reported clicks are often different from what you see in GA. In fact, I'm working on trying to resolve this issue now with another advertising platform (not FB) who is billing us for 2.5x the number of clicks we are seeing in Google Analytics.
There are many possible causes for this, and you can find relevant discussions on
webmasters, moz.
One thing you should try is segmenting the referrals by device (mobile, tablet, desktop) or operating system, etc. See if the percentage of traffic is much lower from your ad on one particular device or operating system. This may indicate that the GA tracking is not working correctly on that device or OS.
I'm trying to add my Facebook app (iframe integration) to a Facebook business page. But can't figure out the rifht way to do it, because Business accounts can use apps. Looked through all Facebook Docs&Help and found nothing. (
Will be grateful for any clue.
Thanks
You just need to configure the Pages Tab options (last one on the Apps Basic Settings page). Check out https://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs/ for instructions. Let me know if that was what you're looking for :)
I'd like to have my Google+ feed show up on one of my FB pages. So I logged into FB, and located the app: Google Plus Tab for Pages.
I installed the app (and the tab) and get the message Your tab is not configured correctly yet.
Underneath, there's a button, Configure.
I click configure and put in the appropriate details, my Google+ numbers, which of my FB pages I'd like to add it to, etc. .... Then select Change.
Then I get the following error, no matter what computer I use, what browser I use, etc.:
Google+ to Pages
Add Google+ to your page
Don't forget to configure your settings after adding the tab.
Please help us keep the tab ad free. $5 $10 $20 $50 Any amount

The key here is Don't forget to configure your settings after adding the tab -- which I've already done. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
