Now the cross-domain tracking is very well explained and it's an useful feature, however is it possible to post instructions for cross-domain tracking when using the asynchronous tracking? Thank you.

Great to hear someone address the Singapore issue in GA. A lot of our campaigns are Singapore-based, so we have encountered this a lot.
As Avinash says, the City view is really useful here - not just because it allows you to finally *see* Singapore on the map. Cities are displayed as a bubble graph instead of a heat map, and this is much easier to scan when you are looking at the Dashboard view.

Thank you for taking my question! I have some success with actually getting transactions tracked. The variables still give me trouble. I will take a look now at what you recommended! Tammy in Oregon

Great show very helpful. I do have a problem that several other GA users seem to have as well (according to the forums). My works spam filter blocks any outside app from sending email using our domain. So I changed the email address. But when I create new emails in GA it still displays my old email address. I've added another user, changed the password, nothing works, i'm at wits end please help.
