Are you sure your under review status wasn't for something else? Hi Carl,
Nope I really have done it dozens of times with no issue. Are you sure your under review status wasn’t for something else?

Back up. Mike - you've added the GA utm code to urls on GLL "dozens of times" & never had a problem? Or do you mean you've done the extremely-complex-and-no-way-I-am-gonna-spend-the-time-to-get-the-client's-webdev-dude-into-this-anyway method? If the former then that's very interesting! I tried it & got the "under review" for a week, whereupon I killed it. Not to mention it sure looked ugly for that week. Is there anything special you did? And hey, Orlando Logo Dude, howzabout that link? Wait a sec. Back up. Mike – you’ve added the GA utm code to urls on GLL “dozens of times” & never had a problem?

Is there anything special you did?

And hey, Orlando Logo Dude, howzabout that link?

Followed steps 1, 2 & 3, which were pretty straight forward. There is a question though regarding the Traditional vs the Asynchronous codes. We are currently using the Traditional GA tracking code which is similar to your snippet minus the following deprecated line: pageTracker._initData();. I am considering replacing the Traditional with the new Asynchronous code and splitting it between the Head and bottom of the page to help with page rendering. Does the pageTracker._setAllowAnchor(true); line need to be added to the Asynchronous version and if so should it follow the _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXX-X']); line or should it be located elsewhere? Arthur Mike,

Perhaps the data made available in the Google Place Pages Dashboard? That is very good data, but doesn't show you what happened after a visitor comes to your website.
