Google analytics for your mobile sub-domain
-
Hi All, I have just started mobile sub-domain for my desktop site.
But I don't to know how to configure analytics for mobile sub-domain.
I want to track result between desktop and mobile site.
Can any one help me to sort out this problem?
Waiting for reply

- You can have one Google Analytics account that will be home to all of your site's data (this will track both desktop and mobile domains). You can then filter the results to show the differences between the devices.
Or,
- You can have one account for your 'desktop' domain and another for your mobile domain. This will result in two sets of data and is what the first replies instructions will result in.
I use method 1 as I prefer to have all my data in one place. If you want to do this you need to go to:
-
Admin
-
Tracking code
-
Standard
-
Select 'One domain with multiple subdomains'
-
Paste the code into your site
You will then be able to track your visitors on the mobile site as well as other subdomains.
-
I am understand what do you want to explain?
Can you please elaborate it?
Waiting.

The above method will give you one set of data for your mobile subdomain and another for your desktop site. If you wish to have them together then you can set up a tracking code for the whole domain and then separate mobile visits from desktop visits within your analytics account. I personally have all my data in one account and use one tracking code.

Hello Mate,
I have idea about above mentioned process, is it going to help me to track data between desktop site and mobile site.
Please do let me know.

In Google Analytics, go to:
-
Admin
-
Tracking code
-
Advanced
-
Click 'A site built for a mobile phone'
-
Select the server side language - PHP, Perl, JSP or ASPX
-
Paste the code into the pages you want to track
-
Put the ga.pl file into the root directory
There are more instructions once you get to those pages which will help you out.
I hope this helps.

Google Analytics Question - Impressions & Queries Up, Sessions Down
I'm working with a client who, according to the Google Query report, impressions and sessions are up since we've started work with them about 6 months ago, but Google sessions are down. In moz, we're seeing a gradual, but steady increase in search visibility specifically with Google. Note: this is all organic. From when we started tracking queries, the first month we were tracking there were 43,581 impressions and 690 click throughs for the month. This past month there were 98,293 queries and 1015 clicks throughs for the month (granted not year over year data) - of these 1,015 clicks, 995 of them were from web. However, for those same time periods, sessions from Google are down over 30% - 1,750 vs. 1,189. I'm not sure how to interpret this. I realize that clicks and sessions are not a straightforward comparison, but I would think that if clicks were up according to the query report that sessions would also be up. Is it that some of these clicks are bouncing and therefore not being tracked as a session? Is there a potential issue with how data is being tracked?

Hi mozzers We are setting up an a linkedin ad campaign for our agency and want to track its traffic and conversions. The linkedin ad will carry UTMs for each link.

So my question is about the filtering, should i use the INCLUDE, REFERRAL with pattern LINKEDIN.COM (see image)? if not what would be the best way to track this campaign? My other concern is that we are also running other a job ad on linkedin and I feel these hits will be tracked as well. Is there a way to separate those 2 campaigns? Thanks guys! MzE5hqE.png

Google Analytics for example.com and www.example.com
Hello. I have had a Google Analytics account set up to track the property www.example.com for several years. In Google Webmaster Tools, I recently set the preferred domain to example.com (without the www), and we put in a rewrite from www to no-www in the .htaccess file. Should I now change the url of the property in Google Analytics to example.com (without the www), or does Google Analytics see the two urls as the same? Thank you!

Tracking PDF Downloads in Google Analytics
Hi, I work on a site that allows users to download whitepapers after filling out a form. Once they do this they are redirected to a URL which is the PDF. We use Wordpress and these documents were uploaded to the media center. I've tried researching how to track these downloads in GA, since the code is not present on these pages, but have read a few different answers. Anyone have firsthand experience? Thanks!
