Question

good afternoon

I am currently using google analytics to track the newsletters. For this I use campaigns.
The problem is that when you have finished visiting the linked page, the following pages continues indicating that this correspond to the same campaign.
How I can tell Google Analytics that the campaign tracking is finished?

I tried with the following code, but I ignored.

_gaq.push(
   ['_setCampaignTrack', false]
   ,['_setCampaignCookieTimeout', 0]
);

_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

Answer 1

This is intended behaviour for Google Analytics

Source precedence—A direct traffic visit that follows a paid referred visit will never override an existing paid campaign. Whatever
is the latest paid campaign visit is listed as the referral for the
visit.

direct traffic has a vey low precedence. Google Analytics assumes that if the visitor is coming back by a direct source it’s probably because of the last visit that you actually paid for, so it keeps the last useful traffic source.
