Tracking on Analytics .ca domain When Redirect From GoDaddy Control Panel?

[BigBlaze205]

I bought all .ca, .net, .org, .info and http://www.pilatesboisfranc.com at GoDaddy.

I'm using .com and all others are redirect to the .com from the GoDaddy control panel.

Is it easy to track any of thems on Analytics?

I just installed the tracking code and I selected  in the ''What are you tracking'' option from the ''Advance'' tab, ''

Multiple top-level domains
Examples:     www.pilatesboisfranc.uk
www.pilatesboisfranc.cn
www.pilatesboisfranc.fr

If someone enter http://www.pilatesboisfranc.ca

will it be track?

I don't know anything about coding, I hope you can help because I would like to use the .ca doamine to track advertising on my car...

Thank you,

BigBlaze

Hi,

Thank you for your help on this. I just need more informations on how to acheive this.

Can you please provide a step by step guide?

The domain I want to use on my car is pilatesboisfranc.ca. This domain is redirect to our site, pilatesboisfranc.com

How do I do from there?

I redirect pilatesboisfranc.ca in the GoDaddy control panel to the URL generate by the URL builder?

Thank you for your help.

You do not list what Analytics tool you are using, but here is how I would do this in Google Analytics and this is probably similar to what your Analytics tool works.

Google Analytics only tracks a page view when there is a page view and the GA code is executed on that page.

If you are having GoDaddy 301 redirecting all the domains to the .com then there is no page that is shown/viewed and therefore no GA code to execute to record the redirect.

What you need to do is setup the redirect to the .com to include referral data in the URL

So instead of redirecting from the .fr domain to

http://www.pilatesboisfranc.com

You would redirect to from the .fr domain to

http://www.pilatesboisfranc.com/?utm_source=pilatesboisfranc-france&utm_medium=redirect&utm_campaign=godaddy

You will then see where the referrals came from on your .com domain as a function of your GA reporting.

You will need to decide how you need to label your source, medium and campaign appropriately, I just took a quick stab, but it may not be how you want to label things.
