Google analytics for your mobile sub-domain
-
Hi All, I have just started mobile sub-domain for my desktop site.
But I don't to know how to configure analytics for mobile sub-domain.
I want to track result between desktop and mobile site.
Can any one help me to sort out this problem?
Waiting for reply

- You can have one Google Analytics account that will be home to all of your site's data (this will track both desktop and mobile domains). You can then filter the results to show the differences between the devices.
Or,
- You can have one account for your 'desktop' domain and another for your mobile domain. This will result in two sets of data and is what the first replies instructions will result in.
I use method 1 as I prefer to have all my data in one place. If you want to do this you need to go to:
-
Admin
-
Tracking code
-
Standard
-
Select 'One domain with multiple subdomains'
-
Paste the code into your site
You will then be able to track your visitors on the mobile site as well as other subdomains.
-
I am understand what do you want to explain?
Can you please elaborate it?
Waiting.

The above method will give you one set of data for your mobile subdomain and another for your desktop site. If you wish to have them together then you can set up a tracking code for the whole domain and then separate mobile visits from desktop visits within your analytics account. I personally have all my data in one account and use one tracking code.

Hello Mate,
I have idea about above mentioned process, is it going to help me to track data between desktop site and mobile site.
Please do let me know.
-
In Google Analytics, go to:
-
Admin
-
Tracking code
-
Advanced
-
Click 'A site built for a mobile phone'
-
Select the server side language - PHP, Perl, JSP or ASPX
-
Paste the code into the pages you want to track
-
Put the ga.pl file into the root directory
There are more instructions once you get to those pages which will help you out.
I hope this helps.

Modify Google Analytics Script To Only Cookie U.S. Sessions
I know I can filter sessions from outside the US, but is there a way to modify the GA script so that it doesn't cookie visitors to a site if they are from outside the US? Note, this is separate from having a cookie consent opt-in. Thanks in advance,

Strange landing page in Google Analytics
Hello MOZ Community, The website in question is https://x-y.com/ When i looked at the landing pages report in GA , x-y.com is appended at the end of every URL like this. https://x-y.com/x-y.com When i open the above URL in GA interface, it shows page not found. This is obvious as there is no such URL.

I want to do a custom alerts for when goal completions decrease or increase by a certain % e.g. 20% as shown in the third example from this Moz Article back in 2012 - http://moz.com/blog/7-essential-google-intelligence-custom-alerts-that-keep-me-sane However when i go into my GA account the only options seem to be for when the goal completion conversion rate % drops. I could use this, but i rather do just based on completions rather than %. Any ideas on how i can do this? Thanks.

Google Analytics Content Experiments
Has anyone else found that Google Analytics Content Experiments seems to quite quickly favor the best performing variant in an experiment, and then show that variant many times more often than other/s - not split the traffic evenly? What is Google's thinking behind 'optimizing' during an experiment? It seems odd to me.

Totally Remove "localhost" entries from Google Analytics
Hello All, In Google Analytics I see a bunch of traffic coming from "localhost:4444 / referral". I had tried once before to create a filter to exclude this traffic source, but obviously I did it wrong since it's still showing up. Here is the filter I have currently: Filter Name: Exclude localhost
Reporting & Analytics | | Robert-B
Filter Type: Custom filter > Exclude
Filter Field: Referral
Filter Pattern: .localhost:4444.
Case Sensitive: No Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong and give me a push in the right direction? Thanks in advance!0 -
Can you filter referring keywords in Google Analytics by language?
Hi All! So yes, I know that you can see/filter the language that the computer or browser was set to (en-us, ru, fr, etc.), but if you look at the keywords used by visitors falling under "fr", some are in English. Is there any way to get, say, just the keywords in Russian - regardless of what the visitor's browser language was set to? Thanks! Aviva
