I got the page connected. Problem is it was hard finding the meta tag. Claiming your website and making the insights read on Google Analytics. The ? Do I have to have the Username as the same as the website for it to read?

Hi Neil,

I'm not a Google Analytics expert, but chances are Google would be able to track traffic from Pinterest even without having your website claimed (account>settings>claim>claim website), as long as people are going from Pinterest to your site.

That being said, it may take time for Google Analytics to start attributing the website traffic generated from any social source, specially if everything is new.

Having a different username than your website should not be an issue for Google Analytics.

PS: if anyone has different information than this, please correct me.

I hope this helps.
