Troubleshooting – Google Analytics Tracking Code

Every time the google analytics tracking code executes at the page, it request a single pixel GIF image to the Google Analytics Collection Server called _utm.gif which contains the whole information about the user who is visting the page like

• Visitor Type
• Cookies Info
• E commerce Data
• Browser Properties
• Visitor’s ID
• Session etc.

The data contains in the GIF file is the exact data sent to the Google Analytics Collection Sever

Here is the example of GIF image containing the data collected and sent to the google server

http://www.google-analytics.com/__utm.gif?utmwv=4&utmn=769876874&utmhn=example.com&utmcs=ISO-8859-1&utmsr=1280x1024&utmsc=32-bit&utmul=en-us&utmje=1&utmfl=9.0%20%20r115&utmcn=1&utmdt=GATC012%20setting%20variables&utmhid=2059107202&utmr=0&utmp=/auto/GATC012.html?utm_source=www.gatc012.org&utm_campaign=campaign+gatc012&utm_term=keywords+gatc012&utm_content=content+gatc012&utm_medium=medium+gatc012&utmac=UA-30138-1&utmcc=__utma%3D97315849.1774621898.1207701397.1207701397.1207701397.1%3B...

Troubleshooting Your modification includes the following basic steps :

1. Use Third Party Debugging Tools
2. utmp parameter must be present in GIF Image Parameters.
3. utmcc parameter must be present and non-empty, in case if utmcc is empty that means no cookies data is sent and request is ignored.
4. Repeat the test serveral times to ensure the GIF request is sent every time.

utmp — Page request of the current page. ex:utmp=/testDirectory/myPage.html

utmcc — Cookie values. This request parameter sends all the cookies requested from the page. ex:utmcc=__utma%3D117243.1695285.22%3B%2B __utmz%3D117945243.1202416366.21.10. utmcsr%3Db%7C utmccn%3D(referral)%7C utmcmd%3Dreferral%7C utmcct%3D%252Fissue%3B%2B

Debugging Tools for Firefox:

Using Live HTTP Headers

1. Download and Install LiveHTTPHeaders for Firefox; Restart your browser.
2. Open Live HTTP Headers (Tools > LiveHTTPHeaders).
3. Click on the Generator tab.
4. Navigate to your site (or any page that has Google Analytics Tracking code installed).
5. Verify that a request is made for either urchin.js or ga.js
6. Check that a request is made for __utm.gif.

Using Firebug

The Firebug extension presents a more structured view of both the tracking code request (urchin.js or ga.js) as well as the GIF request (__utm.gif). These steps show how to use Firebug to view the details of the GIF request.

1. Download and Install Firebug for Firefox; Restart your browser.
2. Navigate to your site.
3. In Firefox, select Tools> Firebug > Open Firebug > “Enable Firebug for this web site”.
4. Click Net then Images.
5. Reload the page and check that a new request for __utm.gif appears in the list.
6. Verify the components of the request in the Params tab.

One nanometer is a millionth of a millimeter or about one eighty thousandth the width of a human hair. Nanomaterials can be stronger or lighter, or conduct heat or electricity in a different way. They can even change color; particles of gold can appear red, blue or gold, depending on their size. The Main Use of this technology is molecular electronics, data storage, catalysis and biotechnology. The main Sectors where these technologies were used are medical and fabricating.

Because of the opportunities nanotechnology offers in creating new features and functions, it is already providing the solutions to many long-standing medical, social and environmental problems. The word “nanotechnology” has become very popular and is used to describe many types of research where the characteristic dimensions are less than about 1,000 nanometers. In its original sense, ‘nanotechnology’ refers to the projected ability to construct items from the bottom up, using techniques and tools being developed today to make complete, high performance products.

If we go through in details there were main Four generation of Nano Technologies ,The First one is Passive Nanostructure(In the year 2000).Second One is Active nanostructure (In the year 2005).Third one is System Of nanostructure(In the year 2010) and last Fourth one is Molecular Nano system(In the year 2015).
