Multipul Analytics codes usage
-
I need to launch 13 local websites and need to have two analytics codes on each site, one is unique for each site and the other is the same across all sites. any advice on how this is best done?
-
For one of the sites I work on, I successfully track across multiple subdomains, and the site as a whole using one tracking code. You can create multiple profiles, and then create a filter on each profile to include only URLs of a certain pattern.

Hi Stephen, it depends on how you need to use it.
With my situation you can have two sets and its ok as long as you have them in the correct positions as described above
-
Not sure if I understand - is the recommendation to have two sets of GA code on the same page? If so, that is expressly discouraged by Google

Thomas has answered this question. Create one account in Google Analytics for local.imsm.com. Copy and paste that code right before the tag so that it appears on every page.
Then create a profile for each subdirectory (/denver, /bristol, etc.) Copy and paste that code right before the tag in the header of that particular site. Then you should collect both sets of data just fine.

Hi Daniel
Yes we are using Google Analytics, the 13 sites are all on the same domain using wordpress mu. i.e local.imsm.com/london/ local.imsm.com/denver/ local.imsm.com/bristol/
the sites are supported by google adwords and we need to be able to report on each site and as a whole hence the two tracking codes
-
You can add as many analytic codes as you like. Google allows you to add unique codes for sets as well. So you could tell google they are all the same site and then add unique codes for each site under the same account.
Side note, if the page does not fully load you may have varying numbers based on where you place the analytic code. So potentially, the top code will show more results then the bottom code. Not likely, but just a FYI.
-
Are you using Google Analytics? Are these 13 sites all sub domains of the same domain or 13 unique domains?

Does referral exclusions remove the ecommerce value from Google Analytics?
Quick question on Referral exclusions. We have a client that just rebuilt their Magento website, referral data from Paypal was never an issue, the site properly attributed to source. New web devs finished the site and all purchases through Google Analytics from PayPal Is now showing as referral traffic. Doing research on the issue the suggestion was to create a referral exclusion in GA from PayPal. My question on that, will the ecommerce value default to the previous referral or will it delete the e-commerce value completely from what is gathered?

Whats 'Other' in Google Analytics (in Acquisition)
When i look in GA under Channels (under Acquisition) 'other' is listed What is 'other' ? I have been told its other unidentified channels as they did not allow 3rd party cookies or surfers were in anonymous/private mode. Other is usually organic traffic that couldn't be identified for the aformentioned reasons. This data is encrypted and available but it violates Google guidelines as they are not allowed to pass personal info//data to third parties so it is automatically filtered. But they are not 'Not Provided' (since that still shows under organic) but is usually/mainly some form of organic visits. Hence Seo can take credit for much of that traffic, is this correct ? Many Thanks

Intranet analytics
Anyone got any suggestions for good intranet analytics? We can't use Google Analytics because the ga.js JavaScript will only work if the intranet can be accessed using a domain name that is fully qualified, but ours is http://intranet. Also, we don't want user data sent to a remote server via the ga.js script. Our intranet is built on SharePoint if that helps. Thanks
