need a little help.

We have a website where both non-www and domain.com forward to an ongoing Kickstarter campaign. Kickstarter has its own reporting tools, which shows the domains (and subdomains) where the backers are coming from. Unfortunately it's not detailed enough - for example it does not show whether a Facebook visitor is coming from an ad or just clicked on a link someone shared.

We have Google Analytics on domain.com and domain.com so when a visitor comes through that way, we can track them. But then we

What I want to achieve is to connect info I get from Google Analytics to Kickstarter stats and I thought I'd use subdomains for that.

For example, if we are running a Facebook ad campaign, I'd like it to land on fb.domain.com and then redirect to Kickstarter and hope that it will show fb.domain.com as the source, when the visitor pledges.

Thank you for your help

Actually, Kickstarter just introduced today a Google Analytics integration. Accordingly, you don't need to redirect your page (with a delay)...just plug in your Google Analytics ID.

You've asked a question and found a solution M2Z ;)

It is right way to create the subdomain for particular source e.g fb.domain.com for FB incoming traffic. You can add some UTMs for campaign/ad tagging, probably You know that.

Remember to delay a redirection (something like "Please wait..." + 100ms waiting time), to be sure that analytics js was triggered
