: Analytics, multiple domains, one site What would be the best way to set up Google Analytics to track multiple domains which actually are all one site? Example: mysite.com mysite.es gets routed

@Gail5422790

It seems as though with the redirects in place you're not actually needing to track multiple domains, rather you're looking for a way to segment your single domain based on the sections that the additional domains are redirecting to (IE you want to segment your domain based on example.com vs example.com/es) assuming I am understanding properly it seems filters would be the easiest way. Simply create an additional profile for the site and filter out traffic to suit your needs.

I activated that one, and when I did the traffic seemed to be dropping... the current code I have (was not set up by me) and is:

<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
<% if Rails.env == "production" -%>
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxx26-1']);
_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', '.sitename.it']);
_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);
})();
<% end -%>
</script>


and what i don't get is the .sitename.it

anybody knows?

When you create your analytics profile for your site you can choose to track:-


A single domain
One domain with multiple subdomains
Multiple top level domains


Choose the most appropriate option for your URI structure and you're done.
