I mentioned in my last reply, setAllowHash(false) is not needed if you use setDomainName('none'). OK, I have verified that the codesite needs updating.

The difference is odd and new from G. Essentially _setDomainName('none'); turns off the hashing (set it equal to 1), so I am not sure why this is now showing in the G documentation. Let me take a look and some back to you. Alex: Thanks for the feedback. The difference is odd and new from G.

It is both an excellent textbook and a great desktop reference for students in their jobs. Regarding Multiple Domain Tracking (Pp. 200-205), an apparent discrepancy appears between the book and the examples Google provides at http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingSite.html. Specifically, Google includes _setAllowHash(false); in some instances where the book omits it: * Tracking Across a Domain and a Sub-directory of Another Domain (Primary and Secondary) * Tracking Across Multiple Domains and Sub-domains (Secondary) Are these differences significant or matters of style? Thank you and I look forward to the next edition. Take care, Alex Re: Multiple Domain Tracking

Hi Brian,

On Wednesday, we begin our second class using Advanced Web Metrics with Google Analytics, 2nd Ed at Bellevue College Continuing Education: http://www.campusce.net/BC/Course/Course.aspx?c=11490. It is both an excellent textbook and a great desktop reference for students in their jobs.

Regarding Multiple Domain Tracking (Pp. 200-205), an apparent discrepancy appears between the book and the examples Google provides at http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingSite.html. Specifically, Google includes _setAllowHash(false); in some instances where the book omits it:
* Tracking Across a Domain and a Sub-directory of Another Domain (Primary and Secondary)
* Tracking Across Multiple Domains and Sub-domains (Secondary)

Are these differences significant or matters of style?

Thank you and I look forward to the next edition.

Take care,

Alex

Yes you are correct as the e-commerce calls are nested quotes, so should be single quotes. Thanks for the heads up. I will add this to the erata page (yours is the first entry!) Andy: Well spotted.

Your book is a competitive advantage. Thank you, Andy Hi Brian,

On pages 409 (bottom) – 410 (top), under “Special Case: Pseudo…”, should the e-commerce field values be in single (‘) quotes?

Your book is a competitive advantage.

Thank you,
Andy
