Tracking on Analytics .ca domain When Redirect From GoDaddy Control Panel?
-
I bought all .ca, .net, .org, .info and http://www.pilatesboisfranc.com at GoDaddy.
I'm using .com and all others are redirect to the .com from the GoDaddy control panel.
Is it easy to track any of thems on Analytics?
I just installed the tracking code and I selected in the ''What are you tracking'' option from the ''Advance'' tab, ''
Multiple top-level domains
Examples: www.pilatesboisfranc.uk
www.pilatesboisfranc.cn
www.pilatesboisfranc.frIf someone enter http://www.pilatesboisfranc.ca
will it be track?
I don't know anything about coding, I hope you can help because I would like to use the .ca doamine to track advertising on my car...
Thank you,

You do not list what Analytics tool you are using, but here is how I would do this in Google Analytics and this is probably similar to what your Analytics tool works.
Google Analytics only tracks a page view when there is a page view and the GA code is executed on that page.
If you are having GoDaddy 301 redirecting all the domains to the .com then there is no page that is shown/viewed and therefore no GA code to execute to record the redirect.
What you need to do is setup the redirect to the .com to include referral data in the URL
http://support.google.com/googleanalytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55578
So instead of redirecting from the .fr domain to
http://www.pilatesboisfranc.com
You would redirect to from the .fr domain to
You will then see where the referrals came from on your .com domain as a function of your GA reporting.
You will need to decide how you need to label your source, medium and campaign appropriately, I just took a quick stab, but it may not be how you want to label things.

Vanity URL vs domain URL
Hi guys, Our CEO is having an interview with a known broadcaster on radio. During the interview he will mention a specific URL www.example.com/marketingcampaign that we want track on Google Analytics, therefore behaving like a vanity URL redirecting to the actual URL www.example.com/resources/primary-keyword-2018. Would this work the same way a vanity URL in terms of tracking or not such as following guideline here ? I am asking because vanity URLs are supposed to be completely different domain name that gets purchased and in our case it is the same domain name just with a different URI. thanks guys!

Tracking time spent on a section of a website in Google Analytics
Hi, I've been asked by a client to track time spent or number of pages visited on a specific section of their website using Google Analytics but can't see how to do this. For example, they have a "golf" section within their site and want to measure how many people either visit 5 page or more within the golf section or spend at least 6 minutes browsing the various golf section pages. Can anyone advise how if this can be done, and if so, how I go about it. Thanks

Google analytics : exclude traffic to a subdomain
Hi, I have a website with a client access on a subdomain. I want to exclude the traffic to that subdomain because it messes up my conversion goal for the main site. Per example, 2 out of 10 visitors are existing clients that want to access to my SaaS product. The 8 other are potential clients. I want to exclude the 2 clients from my stats so I could have the good conversion percentage for my free trial for the other 8 potential clients. Thanks in advance for your help!

Google Analytics - Adding a sub-domain
Hi I have a google analytics query.
Reporting & Analytics | | Niki_1
I have a main site with a google analytics tag and I have 2 forms that sit on a subdomain with a different GA code. As I would like to measure end to end tracking, I would like the same GA code on the subdomain. What is the best way for me to implement this? Would I need to make some changes to the GA code that sits on the main site or can I add the the GA code from the main site onto the subdomain? Thanks0 -
Using Filters On Google Analytics
Hi Guys, I am In need of some technical help with regards to Google analytics. One of my clients has a site providing HR Software on SaaS basis. The users login via the site for the various HR Tools. Obviously this is skewing the analytics data and showing 10,000+ extra visitors that actually don't exist. Now I understand i can add filters and exclude certain pages for instance the login page, however, some users will visit the home page then click login. How can I exclude them just to show new visitors to the site rather than users that are just trying to login. Hope this makes sense Neil

Seeing / and no / in Google Analytics
When I look at my Google Analytics code, I see that the same content will show up twice, once with a / at the end of the URL, and once without. My site is at http://www.skypeenglishclasses.com. Does anyone know why this would happen? Is it duplicate content?
