That (not set) variable is a beast...I always assumed it was probably the Content network or somebody that doesn't allow cookies or a click bot. You should be able to cross segment that traffic to a source in Analytics though...Thoughts? Hi Aaron, Sorry for the delayed response!

How can i get on that and find out what those people are coming in on? Thanks for everything and the method in particular. Aaron Hey James/everyone,

I’ve used the script to some effectiveness, yet the number 1 traffic source in the “user defined variable” shows up as (not set)….and it’s across every site. How can i get on that and find out what those people are coming in on?

Thanks for everything and the method in particular.

Aaron

Just want to make sure that folks know that they can get the most up-to-date version of the script at our blog (<a href="http://www.roirevolution.com/blog" rel="nofollow">http://www.roirevolution.com/blog</a>). We're hoping to release a new version by the end of the week, so definitely keep an eye out. Also, to clarify, the reason I developed the script last April was because Jim and Brian's method had some issues with return visit conversions. I honestly do not believe that the recent problems with their filters has anything at all to do with tracking exact search queries, because we've been using both methods successfully for nearly a year now with no interference from Google. Let's call a timeout and let Google clear the fog before we start with the conspiracies, ok? (For full disclosure, we here at ROI Revolution are Authorized Google Analytics Consultants. So... we know a thing or two about GA. :) ) Thanks, James, for updating the article.

It seems like you're trying to take credit for Michael Harrison's awesome work, and you are making assumptions that he did this in response to another method that you were somehow responsible for. I'd like to make three points: First, Michael Harrison of ROI Revolution deserves 100% of the credit for this method, not anyone else. Second, this method was not developed as a direct response to your 'fix' (which by the way has been around for over over a year and is the product of Jim Newsome of Omega Digital Media and Brian Clifton of Google). It was developed independently at ROI Revolution. Finally, I'd like to point out that this method that you've copied here is actually close to being out-of-date. As the original authors of this method, interested users should visit www.roirevolution.com/blog, where they'll find not only this great tool, but many other innovative ideas just like it. We here at ROI appreciate your enthusiasm for the tool and your attempt to get the word out, but it seems that you gave a very poor attempt to give credit where credit is due for both this tool and the original filter method.
