Hey Ryan! 
Thanks for the reply, really appreciate the input.

It's not exactly the ideal win of having the 301s and tracking but if that's how we're rocking around today that's how it's going on. I'll relay the findings to the appropriate parties and hey I've learned this for the future now too.

Thanks again!

I've been implementing some awesomely search engine friendly 301'd domains for clients and they work great but I seem to have missed the point where I track said domains in some fashion and come here to ask the question --> how are you all tracking refers from 301'd domains that are pointed to your main hubs?

Currently our practice in-house is to alias them in our servers then use .htaccess rules to 301 them to the 1 domain to-rule-them-all but Google Analytics doesn't recognize them as different domains with that plan of action and there goes my refer tracking.

Is there a super-star way to use the Google URL Builder and combine that with the above plan of action or a better plan? Has anyone else implemented something else more awesome-er that could help a girl out?

Much thanks and Happy Thursday!
