Google Analytics - Cross Domain Tracking Goals

[IsHot]

Hi guys, looking at the best way to organize this -

Site 1 - Shoe Store - (Old site with analytic history - UA-12345-1)

Site 2 -  Clothing Store - (Brand New UA-54321-1)

Right now i have 2 separate GA Accounts for the sites. But i would like to track goals from Site 2 to Site 1.  For that i need to set up cross domain tracking.

So i take it i would need to create another account under Site 1 - (UA-12345-2) and put that new code on Site 2?

Or do the UA numbers have to be exact? example both 12345-1? In which case, i would need to set up 2 different profiles with filtering?

Main concern is i want to keep separate data for both sites, espically if UA's will be the same.

Trying to visualize -

UA-12345-1

Profile 1Shoes/Master

Profile 2 Shoes

Profile 3 Clothes

Or

UA-12345-1

Shoes

UA-12345-2

Clothes

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks Mike.

Giving it a whirl.

Hopefully adding a filter on a profile wont mess too much with the historical data if its the same site anyways.

Yes, the UA #'s will have to be the same if you're going to be doing cross domain. The option you listed first should get it done. You'll just want to create filters within the segmented profiles to keep data from leaking into the others.

So:

Original UA:

Profile 1: Historical and future Shoe ONLY data

Profile 2: Clothes moving forward (not historical)

Profile 3: Unfiltered (not historical)
