: How to track iframe and parent window as one pageview in Google Analytics I have a site that contains the following characteristics: Header is defined by code my team controls on subdomain

@Radia820

I'd honestly have to question the complexity of the setup you're proposing, it won't help the usability of the site overall and you'd be downloading the script three times for no good reason. Include files were developed for precisely this reason and would strongly advise you to reconsider your plan.

Secondly you're bumping into the dividing line between GA and paid for solutions like webtrends or omniture which offer more scriptable tags. For a site of this size you really need to move into the paid for analytics field to help you make sense of this complexity. However this answer over at SO 'IFrame Subdomain tracking with Google Analytics' may offer a solution.

Otherwise I think you might be able to push some custom events for each tag which would allow you to manually add up the numbers and get a result, but GA simply wasn't built to cope with scenarios like this.

I'm not sure this is possible with the current version of Google Analytics and is perhaps a suggestion you need to make to them.

However, if you're happy for only the main page (that includes the iFrame code) to be tracked, you could put the Google Analytics code on that page and not on your subdomain pages. This would mean any clicks inside the iframes would not be tracked which is probably not what you want. This would probably be better than your current situation though.
