How to create an advanced segmentation for Google+?
-
Hey Mozzers,
I have a question regarding Google Analytics.
The problem: I have created advanced segments for Social Media: Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc. They all work fine... Now I am trying to create something similar for Google+ (since soon we are launching a campaign for it and I want to be able to check the evolution fast and effective).
My advanced segments look like:
Include -> Source -> Matching RegExp -> (Facebook|Youtube|Twitter)
How should the Google+ be inserted into the group?
I know this question might be easy for some advanced Analytics users but I am stuck at this point. Any help appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Hey Martijn,
Thank you for the help.
Since I am not an "expert in the field" I wanted to have my back from you guys.
Thanks again.

Hi Istvan,
It's indeed quite easy ;-), if you change your current matching RegExp to: "(Facebook|Youtube|Twitter|plus.google)" you're also able to track Google+ traffic as part of your social media traffic.
Happy analyzing!

Do I need a separate Google Analytics ID for a subdomain on my website?
Hello Everyone, I would like to know if I need a separate Google Analytics ID for a subdomain on my website? I have a sub-domain within my website, and the software for the site on the subdomain is asking for a Google Analytics ID. Should I be using the same Google Analytics ID as the main domain or should I be creating a new Google Analytics profile or ID? Thanks. Ryan

Google Analytics, Wordpress, Sumo - who to trust
Something is wrong. I have a website that according to Google Analytics gets zero relevant clicks, with most of the clicks it does get coming from Russia. Wordpress says it gets a hundred or so visitors a month, with most traffic going to the pages that I know rank. Sumo says the heat map got 76 clicks. How would you figure out what's really going on?

Understanding Average Position in Google Anaylitics
Hello here, I have a question about the Queries report under "Search Engine Optimization" in Google Analytics: is the "Average Position" information a reliable one? I have a lot of queries that appear, from that report, to average first position, but when I verify that on Google by connecting anonymously, I can't even find my result on the first page! To me, that information is worthless and makes me think all the rest of that report is unreliable. If anyone can help me to understand it, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you in advance for any thoughts.

Google Analytics traffic hijacking?
Ran into something interesting a week ago - the same Google Analytics code was installed on two different sites by accident. The account was reporting traffic from both domains. Haven't found a definitive answer on how to stop this yet if it were to be used maliciously?
