Google analytics question??

Hi

I've got an google analytics account (which is tracking data) and I have created a tracking link (using URL builder) for a couple of my facebook ads which i started running last Saturday (3 days ago)

When i go to 'Traffic Sources' there is no data i.e. nothing in 'Campaigns', 'Keywords', 'Sources' etc.

I've created the url as i was supposed to in url builder i.e. fill in the fields and clicked 'generate url'

Why would this not be creating any data do you think??

    Is the url builder a third party program or is that integrated within Google Analytics? I've never heard of it.

      It's Google tool for tracking URL's with parameters.

      Hi Duston

      It's the URL builder that google give you to build a tagged tracking link for campaigns outside of adwords

    Do you think, people click on those generated URL's. You can see them once they've clicked.

    Guys I worked out why this isn't working.

    I forgot to say that the landing page for this is on Facebook in a page iframe tab.

    But you can still make this work. Here's an article with the fix...
