Multipul Analytics codes usage
-
I need to launch 13 local websites and need to have two analytics codes on each site, one is unique for each site and the other is the same across all sites. any advice on how this is best done?
-
For one of the sites I work on, I successfully track across multiple subdomains, and the site as a whole using one tracking code. You can create multiple profiles, and then create a filter on each profile to include only URLs of a certain pattern.

Hi Stephen, it depends on how you need to use it.
With my situation you can have two sets and its ok as long as you have them in the correct positions as described above
-
Not sure if I understand - is the recommendation to have two sets of GA code on the same page? If so, that is expressly discouraged by Google

Thomas has answered this question. Create one account in Google Analytics for local.imsm.com. Copy and paste that code right before the tag so that it appears on every page.
Then create a profile for each subdirectory (/denver, /bristol, etc.) Copy and paste that code right before the tag in the header of that particular site. Then you should collect both sets of data just fine.

Hi Daniel
Yes we are using Google Analytics, the 13 sites are all on the same domain using wordpress mu. i.e local.imsm.com/london/ local.imsm.com/denver/ local.imsm.com/bristol/
the sites are supported by google adwords and we need to be able to report on each site and as a whole hence the two tracking codes
-
You can add as many analytic codes as you like. Google allows you to add unique codes for sets as well. So you could tell google they are all the same site and then add unique codes for each site under the same account.
Side note, if the page does not fully load you may have varying numbers based on where you place the analytic code. So potentially, the top code will show more results then the bottom code. Not likely, but just a FYI.
-
Are you using Google Analytics? Are these 13 sites all sub domains of the same domain or 13 unique domains?

Google Analytics not Working on all pages despite many attempts
Hey gang, So this problem has been going on for months. None of our landing pages track, but all of our blog pages do. I've tried GA plugins, (we are on wordpress) and just now even put the code in the theme header script. Still to no avail. I just checked right now, and the blog pages have the global GA code, but now I noticed not even the home page has the code! Could it be something to do with my theme? I tried to pay a guy on upwork to fix but he couldn't fix it either. Thank you for you help!

Collecting post codes / zip codes in Google Analytics - Terms of Service
Hi Mozzers, Just reading up on Google Analytic's Terms of Service and wondering if collecting post codes / zip codes (from a website's 'Find my nearest...' tool) adhere's to the following: "You will not (and will not allow any third party to) use the Service to track, collect or upload any data that personally identifies an individual (such as a name, email address or billing information), or other data which can be reasonably linked to such information by Google." What do you think?

Tracking repeat buyers Universal Analytics
Hi there, I want to track the repeat buyers on my ecommerce. In order to do that, I am going to create a custom dimension on Analytics. The custom dimension will be called "repeat_buyers" with scope user because I want to track the user over time. Is my assumption correct? How would you you set it up? When I have this dimension, I would just apply the default metric transaction on my reports. I don't have experiencie on custom dimensions so I might be totally wrong. Can you please help? Thanks and regards

Google Analytics should track users from iPhone App
Hi Mozzers, you say there are no dumb questions, here is one. We've build an iPhone App for our Website working-dog.eu. So users can read there new messages with ease when they are out of the office, read about breeds, ... do all the nice stuff they want. I don't think so, but is it possible to track these users with Google Analytics? When the come via App, the Analytics code will not run for them. But maybe it could start an AJAX request or something like this? But how should the code run, without a browser which can interprete JavaScript? So, in short: Is it possible to track users from iPhone App with Google Analytics? Kind regards Patrick
