Regular Expressions in Google Analytics

[CPLDistribution]

I want to use the Google Analytics landing page reports to look at the bounce rate of top level pages excluding the homepage. So pages with urls:

www.example.com/example

Does anyone know a regular expression that will allow me to do this?

Just to clarify I do not want to look at the bounce rate of the homepage or any pages deeper than www.example.com/example e.g:

• www.example.com/example/example
• www.example.com/example/example/example
• etc

Thanks in advance

This works a treat.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Wow, this was a really hard question. Finding all your top landing pages was the easy part, but excluding the homepage is a bit more difficult because its hard to exclude within Regex. But a I got a "stable" solution which hopefully works for you.

^/([^/])[^/]*$

It looks for urls which start with "/" and are followed by text where not a slash is found in. Because all your deeper pages contain at least one "/" more this is the way to exclude them. Hopefully this is what you ment.

With this solution you have to be sure that the default page in your Google Analytics is empty, like here. This will take care that your homepage is served within content reports as: "/" so it will be excluded with the regular expression seen above.

May be a bit OT, but have you tried playing with something like http://gskinner.com/RegExr/ to try out regex combinations for what you need? Regxr's got a stack of 'template' regular expressions available in the menu on the right.
