Subdomains and SEO - Analytics & Webmaster Tools Setup Help
-
Any advice on the following greatly appreciated:
-
How to get multiple subdomain data into 1 Google Analytics profile?
-
Can we get multiple subdomain data into Google Webmaster Tools (and if so how?) or do we need to set GWT up per subdomain?
-

Thanks.

Hi,
I think that you want to track subdomains of the same domain, is'n it? Then you have to put:
_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', '.example.com']);
into the analytics code (http://code.google.com/intl/en-EN/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingSite.html)
GWT: Yes, you only have to validate the property of the diferent subdomains, but you'll have the data for each one.
By, I hope it works for you!

Is there a tool to check the SEO performance of articles from different websites?
Is there a tool to check the SEO performance of articles(like 100+ articles) from different websites in one place? I am looking for a tool where I can put several URLs of the articles we have published in bulk for many of our clients, and it can show me how those articles are performing. This way, we can check the performance of these articles at any time; there is no need to add URLs every time.

E-commerce with domain and subdomain for products
Hi, I have two pages: (main) page with a lot of traffic e.g. www.bags.com/yellow-bag-hp, and I have second subdomain e.g. www.shop.bags.com/yellow-bag-hp . This two domain has different CMS systems. Sites from main page have higher DA and PA and I can’t delete it, and I also can’t delete sites from a subdomain (shop) because this other CMS for eCommerce. What do you recommend for resolve this situation. Maybe create new URL: www.bags.com/shop and put on it all products, e.g.: www.bags.com/shop/yellow-bag-hp, and redirect all old pages to this one, or something else?

How do you setup a test analytics account?
I have created a test view but that is not helping with skewed data. Do you all just create a total separate profile with a different GA account for a non-indexed domain? How can I test tag manager and other things without messing with our data? I have our IP filtered out so it doesn't show up in reports but other event tags from outsiders will.

If you pair webmaster tools with an analytics account does this auto allow access for any of the authorised analytics users or do they have to be granted access individually from within GWT ? cheers dan

Client has two default analytics accounts
A client has provided me with their analytics access but i notice that there are two default accounts on their account. They have two UA numbers. The first UA number is in their company name and the other UA number is in another company name with my clients website underneath. Their UA number in their company name is not showing any results however the other company UA number is showing results. Does anyone know why they will have two accounts and if this will cause a problem when trying to link their seo moz campaign to their analytics to track their keywords?

Why Webmasters Tools verification meta tags change??
Why do these keep changing for sites that I have verfied over and over and over and over? About a month goes by and the meta code has changed and the site is unverified again. Seems like a trick to force you into logging into Webmaster Tools all the time. What gives???

Localhost:4444 Showing Up in Google Analytics
Hello All, Lately in my Google Analytics account I have noticed a referral source labelled: localhost:4444 The number of visits is really high from this source, but I have no idea (no clue!) what it actually means. Can anyone shed some light on what this is about? Should I be creating some sort of filter to screen out this as a referral source (assuming it is not legitimate)? Many thanks in advance. Cheers!

Help with Analytics
Afternoon all - I hope someome might be able to help me getting some data out of Google Analytics. I want to try pull a report which will show me both what the last page before a goal completion was and the country that generated the click. Is that possible at all? When I go to look at goals, I can only pull data for the last page before the goal click ... and when I look at my goals in the Pages>Content menu, I can only view country. So is there any way of pulling the two set of data together at all? Any thoughts would be really appreciated. Thanks very much, Simon
