Using Google Analytics for tracking statistics of the HOMEpage

[guitarslinger]

Hello,

Lets say I have a website with the HOMEpage being http://www.page.com. There are various subpages e.g. http://www.page.com/page1, http://www.page.com/page2, http://www.page.com/page3 .

Now when I use Google Analytics it gives me all kind of statistics for the subpages shown as /page1 /page2 /page3 ... (relative path). According to this pattern the HOMEpage should be just "/". Unfortunately I can't find "/" in any statistics.

Is this normal?

Thanks in advance

Thank you for your answer. Just wanted to make sure, that this is not a Analytics "feature" and the homepage is normally shown in GA

There is definitely traffic on the homepage and there is no problem with the GA code. I do however get a few weird URLs with lot's of traffic (the website is very complex). Will try to check where they come from.

You're right, the home page would be / in that case. See that a lot on WordPress-based sites and such.

I can't diagnose absolutely without direct access, but I'd say check for URL malformation based on entry. / may not really exist for functional purposes. Or, you just aren't getting any home-page traffic.

Also, make sure your GA code is actually on your home page and properly firing.
