: Google Analytics - how to track multiple sections of a site at once? I need to track the pageviews and goal completions for the Blogs section of my website, and I used to do this simply
I need to track the pageviews and goal completions for the Blogs section of my website, and I used to do this simply by searching the word "/blog/" under Content, which would pull all of our Blog pages that had the word "/blog/" in the URL and analyze the pages together in a group. The blog URLs were always something like mysite.com/blog/article1.
However, we recently changed our URL naming scheme and now all blog pages have URLs that look like mysite.com/community/article1. Since there's no word the two formats have in common, I can no longer do a simple search like I used to. How can I run some kind of report or filter that will pull the pageviews for both /blog/ pages and /community/ pages all at once? I tried making an advanced segment but it pulled weird pages that I didn't want at all.
Any help would be MUCHLY appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Oops, after a brief research I've found out that advanced segment is apparently for sessions ( Custom Advanced Segment (based on URL) in Google Analytics not working properly? ). So any page that a person at some point have visited your /blog/ or /community/ section will be counted in, that's why the weird results. To get the result you want, create a "custom report". As you cannot use an OR condition there, you will need to enter a RegEx: ^/(blog|community)/.*$
Good stuff that you have asked your question, today I've learned something new!
