Setting up GA to report on sub domains

[theshortstack]

I've just launched a mobile version of my site at m.mydomain.com.

I could do with a bit of help just checking I've inserted my Google Analytics code correctly though.

I've chosen the sub domain option from settings and pasted the code into both the mobile and the non-mobile version of my sites.

However, am I right in thinking that the setDomain attribute should point to two different domains for example:

_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'm.mydomain.com']); (for the mobile site)

and:

_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'mydomain.com']); (for the standard site)

Thanks very much for your help!

Hey there, any update on this?

If not, I'll be resolving this question.

Sorry!

If you're still not seeing any traffic, it's really hard to say without looking at the code. There's likely something wrong in the formatting, perhaps caused by your mobile CMS. In other words, you might have entered the snippet correctly, but when rendered on-page, something goes awry.

Really difficult to say!

Can you access the page in a regular browser? If so, have you tried the Google Chrome Google Analytics debugger? You can see if the _trackPageview is firing, that way. If you'd like, copy the snippet as it appears on-page (via view source) into a reply and I'll take a look (you can remove your domain and UA-XXXX-X account so as not to reveal anything, if you'd like).

Thanks for the reply Mike. Once I've done that, do I need to amend anything else? I'm only asking as I'm not seeing any hits on my mobile site since implementing the new tracking... Cheers,

Nope, the second _setDomainName line should be on both subdomains. That's all that's really required to enable proper subdomain tracking nowadays.

Optionally, you can add the _setIgnoredRef line just before the _trackPageview:

_gaq.push(['_addIgnoredRef', 'mydomain.com']);

Just wanted to give this a quick bump - any ideas?

Thanks,
