GA tracking code not detected on my Amazon s3 hosted site

  • I have a working static site hosted Amazon s3.

  • I've called the primary bucket "www.mysite.com" and have a secondary bucket called "mysite.com" which is being redirected to my primary.

  • My "naked" domain is currently being forwarded to: www.mysite.com with a 301 redirect (forward only) via Godaddy (I've tried fwding to s3 endpoint and it doesn't work)

  • I've also set up a CName (alias). Host name: "www" pointing to my amazon endpoint "mysite.com.s3-website-is-east-1.amazonaws.com"

  • I've added the GA Tag Manager code just after the <body> tag in all of the pages I want to track and have properly configured a tag in Google Tag Manager.

  • I've also waited 24 hours and GA still says my GA code in not installed.

I've searched the web and haven't not come across anything helpful other than this post on stackoverflow http://bit.ly/1nXpRT1.

I have a feeling the issue is with the godaddy and the redirect (the middleman) but I've tried every scenario I can think of and nothing seems to work.

Can it be done?

I'm not quite sure if you can track pages with GA on pages that are forwarded. Is it possible to provide a link? Also, I would go with an A name record over CNAME.

The only thing I can suggest is to maybe compare your setup to this tutorial.
