What's the best way to track moble traffic / sales from a subdomain in Google Analytics?
-
Hello,
I've been trying to figure out the best way to track traffic and sales for a subdomain mobile site and would appreciate any feedback or guidance.
I've set up an advanced segment but have found that I'm not able to source traffic since the segments get disabled when trying to view top content pages.
I've also setup an additional sub-profile under the main domain profile in google analytics and have set up an advanced filter using the following guildelines
http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingSite.html
- In the Profile Settings page, click the Add Filter link.
- Choose Add New Filter and provide the filter a name.
- Choose Custom Filter and select Advanced on the Filter type settings.
- Under Advanced settings:
- FieldA should be set to Hostname
- FieldB should be set to Request URI
- Set the values for both Field A and Field B to
(.*)
, which is an expression that captures all characters. - Set the Output To --> Constructor option to Request URI and provide
$A1$B1
as the value for that choice.
I'm unsure if I've set up the profile / filter correctly, the traffic stats are different than the segment. The mobile profile is also tracking all ecommerce transactions instead of just mobile.
Here's the code I have in place. we're using the Traditional code
Thanks,
Jamie

Have you tried the GA URL builder?

Also, I would highly recommend moving to asynchronous GA

Google Analytics & Google Sheets
Hi guys, I'm looking to use google analytics google sheets extension to pull data into a google sheet with metrics from other tools e.g. semrush, moz, etc. From my understanding with google analytics google sheet extension its designed to run reports and doesn't really allow you to add other metrics. Basically what i'm trying to do is this: https://www.useloom.com/share/c1e42bfa60bd46fca2b1120018969ce8 Any suggestions/advice on how to do this would be great. Cheers.

Has Google Analytics Funnel Visualisation changed / stopped working?
Yesterday my funnel visualisation tab in the updated GA interface was showing data flow. However today there is nothing showing in the graphical element despite showing some goal completion figures as a headline. Have they stopped doing up to the minute visualisation in favour of delayed results? Anyone else experiencing similar? Thanks in advance Tim
