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 to sub domains
Hi, I have a site xyz.com and two separate sites on sub domains xyz.com/abc and xyz.com/def. What's the best way to go about with GA such that I can get all the data in the same place. Should I use the GA code for xyz.com on sub domains as well? Or should I create separate profiles?

Google Analytics showing discrepancy in Geo data
My site is related to UAE and the Gulf region. An year ago, Google Analytics abruptly started showing high incoming traffic from USA (Visits grew from 50k/month to 500k/month) while the overall traffic was stagnant. An year down the line, this has now been reverted back to normal nos and the overall traffic is still maintained. What could be a possible explanation for this discrepancy? Since this reversal has also now boosted traffic nos for other countries, should we rely on this data? Or is it polluted?

Google as referring domain
Hi all, a colleague asked a question, which I could not answer (never even noticed this "problem") 😞 When we are logged into our GA account and go the referring domains section, we find Google. I always thought that these visitors came via Google Image Search, but not all of them do. Most of them come via "/imgres", but some come via "/" (always thought that "/" was the homepage?), "/url" and "//" Maybe I am just stupid, but honestly I could not explain what these strings mean... or how these visitors landed on our site... Can you help me???

Google Analytics-Unique visitors?
Does organic search data show unique visitors or all visits? For example, if someone ( a single person) visits my site multiple times after searching the same keyword phrase, does that show in my analytics data as 1 hit from that keyword, or all hits? Thanks!

What is the best way to track mobile sites in Google Analytics?
Hello! I am wondering what the pros and cons of using the regular Google Analytics tracking code on a mobile site versus the tracking documentation from Google specifically on it found at http://code.google.com/mobile/analytics/docs/web/ which is still in labs mode. Does the mobile specific tracking have the same features as the regular one to be able to track events and report the same statistics? Thanks for the help on this one!
