Tracking pages in two separate analytics accounts
-
Hi All,
I'm trying to track some pages on one website in two separate Google Analytics accounts.
Has anybody done this before that could help with the tracking code?
Thanks in advance,
Elias

Ok thanks all.
I'm looking at a different solution at the moment.
As I cannot create a new account and the filters won't achieve what I'm trying to achieve.
Thanks for all your help

Elias and Himanshu,
Himanshu's and my response are indeed not the same but similar. Himanshu is suggesting actually creating a second profile in GA that requires a second GAQ call.
The way I suggested using a filter would not require a second GAQ call. Either way, you'll have to set up the filters.
My apologies for the discrepancy.

Himanshu is right. Depending on your use-case, you can create a new profile (we'll call it profile-B") and I don't think it was mentioned, you can create a filter on that profile that will only include analytics for pages that make it through the filter resulting in "Profile-B".
I may be too much stating the obvious here but these are a few examples of filters I use with my clients for the exact purpose you mention:
- filtering to INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE content based on site path
- filtering to INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE content based on country
- filtering to include content based on search engine visits only
- filtering to INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE content based on ecommerce transaction visits
- filtering to INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE content based on goal success visits
- filtering to INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE content based on ad campaigns
Possibilities are endless depending on use case. I'm happy to help with filters given the parameters.

Create a new profile in your account which tracks only those web pages which need to be accessed by another company. Then give the other company access to that profile only (and not to the whole account. A GA account can have multiple profiles, remember!). There is no need to track same web pages through multiple GA accounts.
-
Ha, sorry, not a situation I have come across before, interesting though!
-
Thanks Marcus,
Apologies I don't think I explained the situation very well...
There are two separate companies/websites each with their own GA accounts.
There are some pages on one website that need to be tracked by both accounts. We cannot give both parties access to all data.
Is this more clear?
Usually the code I would use is this:
But I'd like to find the code that would work with the new Asynchronous style tracking

Hey Elias
You just set up your Analytics as usual but grant access to another user to view the reports.
Very simple and then the other person can log in and access the full reports in either read only or full access modes.

Hope it helps!

Two GTM tags
Hi guys, I need some help on the following: My client has different websites worldwide all with country extensions and on overall .com domain. These websites (and GTM accounts) are all managed by local agencies. We would like to implement a cross domain tracking GA account in order to see some overall trends and numbers. We don't want to implement our codes in the existing containers as they are in many cases managed by local agencies. Is it really negative to implement two GTM containers on one website? Any other ideas? Thanks,

How do I set up goals in analytics to track the sales funnel when several pages of the steps required to checkout have the same url?
I have found this in Google Analytic but it makes no sense to me - is there are better resource which explains how you do this step by step ( or a good video perhaps?) Identical URLs Across Multiple Steps In some situations, the URL does not change across a sequence of activity. For example, a sign-up process might have the following URL path: Step 1 (Sign Up): www.example.com/sign_up.cgi Step 2 (Accept Agreement): www.example.com/sign_up.cgi Step 3 (Finish): www.example.com/sign_up.cgi To track visitors' progress through a funnel with the same URL for each step, modify the tracking code to create a virtual URL for each step in the sequence that you want to track. For details on how to use this in your tracking code, see Virtual Pageviews in the _Asynchronous Migration Examples_guide, which shows how to do this in all versions of the tracking code. The following example shows how you might fabricate 3 URLs using the asynchronous tracking code: _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/funnel_G1/step1.html']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/funnel_G1/step2.html']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/funnel_G1/step3.html']); You would then define your funnel and goal URLs using the ones you created in the tracking code modifications.

Google Analytics Title tag vs landing page visitors numbers
Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to why im getting different results in Google analytics. I'm using the Content Efficiency Analysis Report from http://www.kaushik.net which is absolutely awesome. When I search via my title tag I get 920 Unique Visitors over the month but when I search via the landing page URL with the same title tag I get 28. Any ideas to why their should be such a difference. I've also noticed that on that page i'm also getting a Rel Cononical TRUE using a site crawl. Any ideas are much appreciated

How to filter pages in Analytics by multiple criteria
Hello, we have several pages with the same page title. Now out of all those pages I want to pick two. Let's call them "/page1" and "/page2". For those pages I want the following information (combined for both): Avg. time on page, Bounce rate, Navigation Summary Normally I get all the information under "Content" "Pages" and by choosing the "page title" as primary dimension and clicking on the respective page title. Let's call it "page | title". Choosing the filter for 1 page works fine (I just enter "/page1" in simple filter). But how can I filter for two pages ( entering " include page ends with /page1 and include page ends with /page2" in the advance filter will show 0 results). Thanks in advance
