: Create a filter to consider http://example.com/foo/bar as http://example.com/index.php/foo/bar I'm using URL rewriting to make my url http://example.com/foo/bar/ to http://example.com/index.php/foo/bar.

If you have a rewrite rule to rewrite TO the index.php script when "index.php" isn't in the URL, you can have another rewrite rule to redirect away from it when "index.php" is in the URL. I asked on StackOverflow about the mechanics of doing this. You need to use an environment variable with such rewrite rules to prevent infinite loops. Your two rewrite rules would need to look something like this:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php/ [L,E=LOOP:1]

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_LOOP} !1
RewriteRule ^index.php(/.*)$ [R,L]

You've got the right idea using the advanced filter. If you want to remove the index.php from all entries you should use this:

Remove index.php from Analytics URL's

Alternatively, if you want to add the index.php to all entries:

Google Analytics Advanced Filter 2 www.customclicks.co.uk/_images/pages-resource-articles/google-analytics-advanced-filter-2.png

How do you know it's a web visitor (as in a human). You will often find that these results are masked by robots and crawlers! Just because you're linking the page within your site today doesn't mean that you didn't in the past (which could be indexed by a search engine or even on a forum or similar) doesn't mean it can't be found.
