Tracking pages in two separate analytics accounts

[A_Q]

Hi All,

I'm trying to track some pages on one website in two separate Google Analytics accounts.

Has anybody done this before that could help with the tracking code?

Thanks in advance,

Elias

Ok thanks all.

I'm looking at a different solution at the moment.

As I cannot create a new account and the filters won't achieve what I'm trying to achieve.

Thanks for all your help

Elias and Himanshu,

Himanshu's and my response are indeed not the same but similar. Himanshu is suggesting actually creating a second profile in GA that requires a second GAQ call.

The way I suggested using a filter would not require a second GAQ call. Either way, you'll have to set up the filters.

My apologies for the discrepancy.

Himanshu is right. Depending on your use-case, you can create a new profile (we'll call it profile-B") and I don't think it was mentioned, you can create a filter on that profile that will only include analytics for pages that make it through the filter resulting in "Profile-B".

I may be too much stating the obvious here but these are a few examples of filters I use with my clients for the exact purpose you mention:

• filtering to INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE content based on site path
• filtering to INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE content based on country
• filtering to include content based on search engine visits only
• filtering to INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE content based on ecommerce transaction visits
• filtering to INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE content based on goal success visits
• filtering to INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE content based on ad campaigns

Possibilities are endless depending on use case. I'm happy to help with filters given the parameters.

Create a new profile in your account which tracks only those web pages which need to be accessed by another company. Then give the other company access to that profile only (and not to the whole account. A GA account can have multiple profiles, remember!). There is no need to track same web pages through multiple GA accounts.

Ha, sorry, not a situation I have come across before, interesting though!

[A_Q]

Thanks Marcus,

Apologies I don't think I explained the situation very well...

There are two separate companies/websites each with their own GA accounts.

There are some pages on one website that need to be tracked by both accounts. We cannot give both parties access to all data.

Is this more clear?

Usually the code I would use is this:

But I'd like to find the code that would work with the new Asynchronous style tracking

Hey Elias

You just set up your Analytics as usual but grant access to another user to view the reports.

Very simple and then the other person can log in and access the full reports in either read only or full access modes.

Hope it helps!
