Our website is set up to direct all traffic for example.com to example.com with a line in the htaccess file. With Google analytics new in page analytics feature we are thinking of removing the line and allowing people to visit example.com as well to play with the new features. My question is this. How will this change affect our analytics data.


Will nothing change and we can start using the new feature with our existing data
Are the two domains tracked separately and we will have to start over with example.com

Any help would be great, as I can find nothing on Google help sites covering this. Let me know if you need further explanation.

You need note worry about this. In Google Analytics, simply go to the Tracking settings in the Admin section, and enable the multiple subdomain tracking. That way GA will track visits coming to example.com and example.com separately and report them to you in the same property.

What you can also do, is use the canonical tag to define which version to use.
