: Google Analytics - How can I track pageviews of only the pages which have a specific in them? I have a website that's a collection of articles. The longer articles have a 'middle' < div

@Karen161

A custom dimension is the right answer here. You can create the custom dimension and scope it to hit. Then, before the pageview send in Google Analytics, you'll want to detect if that <div> is present (either by the template or specifically with a JS selector to check its .length) to set the value of the custom dimension (which can either be a specific string for every one, or a dynamic string based on the div content/attributes).

Then in Google Analytics, you can create a segment based on traffic to pages with that particular div. Or just use secondary dimensions in existing reports to access the data.

Now (and I know you didn't ask for this), if you did want to get additional information I'd recommend checking out the impressionTracker in Autotrack.js where you would send events (and custom metrics) to determine how often that particular <div> was actually seen by users. I just wanted to include that info for future consideration (and for anyone else that finds this question and is curious).
