Tracking on Analytics .ca domain When Redirect From GoDaddy Control Panel?
-
I bought all .ca, .net, .org, .info and http://www.pilatesboisfranc.com at GoDaddy.
I'm using .com and all others are redirect to the .com from the GoDaddy control panel.
Is it easy to track any of thems on Analytics?
I just installed the tracking code and I selected in the ''What are you tracking'' option from the ''Advance'' tab, ''
Multiple top-level domains
Examples: www.pilatesboisfranc.uk
www.pilatesboisfranc.cn
www.pilatesboisfranc.frIf someone enter http://www.pilatesboisfranc.ca
will it be track?
I don't know anything about coding, I hope you can help because I would like to use the .ca doamine to track advertising on my car...
Thank you,

You do not list what Analytics tool you are using, but here is how I would do this in Google Analytics and this is probably similar to what your Analytics tool works.
Google Analytics only tracks a page view when there is a page view and the GA code is executed on that page.
If you are having GoDaddy 301 redirecting all the domains to the .com then there is no page that is shown/viewed and therefore no GA code to execute to record the redirect.
What you need to do is setup the redirect to the .com to include referral data in the URL
http://support.google.com/googleanalytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55578
So instead of redirecting from the .fr domain to
http://www.pilatesboisfranc.com
You would redirect to from the .fr domain to
You will then see where the referrals came from on your .com domain as a function of your GA reporting.
You will need to decide how you need to label your source, medium and campaign appropriately, I just took a quick stab, but it may not be how you want to label things.

Domain redirect for direct mail (source) tracking in Analytics?
We have a client that would like to do some direct mail marketing and the plan is to use a short/simple domain in the marketing materials, which redirects to the main site domain. By default this would show as a referral traffic source in Analytics, right? So any traffic that came through that redirect would be attributed to "shortdomain.com / referral"? Meaning I wouldn't need to do any sort of customized, advanced tracking set up to track conversions that I've already set up (ecomm and goals) and attribute them to this new source? Just double checking that I'm not overlooking something. Thanks!

Uptick in not tracked conversions / anyone have a list of things that google analytics will not track
There seems to have been an uptick in users on our site not being tracked in Google Analytics cause I see a lot more un-tracked revenue in the last 6 months then I used to. I know analytics is still working as it has been tracking a normal amount of visits but I assumed there might be a reason less would be actually showing up in analytics (mabye a change is what is being reported as organic). I know a lot of stuff goes into "not provided" such as logged in search and stuff like that but is there a list of all of the ones that go into not provided and all that just do not get tracked (javascript not enabled, iOS?). If it could be something else as well let me know. Thanks for the help!

(Not provided) organic search results in Analytics
Hi, So from what I've read, (not provided) organic search results in Analytics is a result of the user being logged into Google. The problem I have is about 20% of the organic search results are (Not provided), so what is mainly left are branded search terms. I think I'm clutching at straws, but is there anything I can do to see these organic traffic sources?

301 redirects reduce traffic considerably
I recently identified an issue with our site whereby we had three different URL types for each article. As an example, we might have something like: /articles/my-article-name /articles/my-article-name.aspx /articles/My-Article-Name We've since taken action to address this by implement 301 redirects from the second and third formats to the first (so everything is without the .aspx extension and is in lower case). But the results have been disconcerting. Before the change, one of our articles receives 150 or so hits per day via the .aspx version. The other two existed but had very low traffic (1-3 per day). We decided the non .aspx and lowercase version was the version we wanted. Sure enough, when we introduced the 301 redirects on September 25th the traffic for the .aspx version just stopped (after a day) and the traffic for the non-.aspx version climbed. But not enough. After the change, the non-.aspx version is receiving about 60-70% of the traffic that we used to have on the .aspx version. So, instead of receiving 150 per day (to the .aspx version) we are receiving around 100 or so to the non-.aspx version. This pattern has occured across all our articles and, as a result, our site-wide traffic has dropped by about 40% or so. Since we are using 301 redirects I had assumed that the search engines would just update to reflect the non-.aspx version. I am sure I am missing something here. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks. Mark
