: Differentiating home root paths for domain and subdomain I have a web structure with a domain and a subdomain, let's call it example.com and blog.example.com. I want to be able to track both

I have a web structure with a domain and a subdomain, let's call it example.com and blog.example.com.
I want to be able to track both the main domain and it's subdirectory within the same Analytics profile so I've entered the same tracking code across example.com and blog.example.com

Tracking Codes:

This is the tracking code for the domain:

<script type="text/javascript">

var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxxx-1']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

</script>


And here is the code for the subdomain:


var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxxx-1']);
_gaq.push(['_setDomainName','example.com'],['_trackPageview']);

(function () {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();




Issue

Notice I've used _gaq.push(['_setDomainName','example.com'],['_trackPageview']); for subdomain tracking.
I see the post pages from the blog in the Analytics reports, but I can't distinguish between the homepage of the site and the homepage of the blog, they both appear in the reports in the same way (a slash /)

Question

Can anyone give me some insight on how to differentiate the homepage of the domain from the homepage of the subdirectory in GA reports?
