Tracking Organic Traffic and Conversions from multiple TLDs with Google Tag Manager
-
Hello Guys,
I want to track traffic / conversions from different domains (basically same brand - but a lot of different TLD's). The "problem" is that the main conversion which I want to track always happens on the .com TLD and all other TLD's link to there. The problem is, that now the traffic always counts as Referral Traffic, even after setting up cross domain tracking over the google tag manager...
So example:
Sessions begins on example.co.uk/landing-page11 after User searched on it on google. He decides to buy the product and therefore moves to example.com for the checkout process. No I will have the conversion in my google analytics under referral with example.co.uk. --> but I want to have it under organic, and not under referral.
How I can manage this?
Thanks for you Help!

thanks guys, I don't know why, but now it is working. it seems, that it just took of about 24 hours until it started working, but now everything is fine

Hello!
From what I can tell the solution for this can be done via GA. Assuming the cross domain tracking was implemented correctly you should be able to simply add the .co.uk domain to your exclusion list as Anita sugested. Let us know if that is not an acceptable solution due to other areas where you have conversions happening on the .co.uk domain and do not want them to be mixed with the .com!
Also, just to clarify, you want to know the initial source of the converting traffic, not just have it labeled as organic. Correct?

Hey there, just to make sure - have you added your TLD domains to the referral exclusion list?

More Traffic From Lower Rankings?
I have access to analytics for two different sites that rank for the same keyword. Strangely, the site that ranks on page 3 gets three times as much traffic as the site that ranks on page 1 (rankings according to multiple SEO tools as well as my own browser). How is this possible?

How do you track badges?
I have had some success these days with a couple of badges I have created. It wasn't too difficult for the efforts to result in a bunch of links as they where on topics people are very passionate about. My question is how do people usually keep track of what websites their badges end up on besides watching for analytics visits? There has to be an easier way to know who has used your badge on their website?
