      Hi folks

      A quick question in regards to setting up Google Analytics for a website with multiple languages on multiple domains.

      The domains that needs to be tracked are:

      • www.example.com -> English
      • www.example.se -> Swedish
      • www.example.dk -> Danish

      To my best knowledge this can be acheived in Google Analytids using 3 different setups:

      • Different accounts
      • Different properties
      • Profiles

      What would you guys consider the best approach?
      Pros and cons?

      Have a great day

      Fredrik

        Fo me, when you say, "GA for a website with multiple languages on multiple domains", then I inherently look at this as I am going to have one GA account for this website with three different properties. I do a lot by intuition, so that is just what comes naturally for me.

        You account is Example Account or Example Analytics, but it is about the Analytics for this specific content group for lack of a better descriptor: Yes, different languages on different domains, but same site - correct?

        The biggest pro for me is unless I am running three browsers open at once, I do not have to log in and out of analytics for each account to see whatever I want. (Seems simplistic, but I find it a pain). So, I can now navigate between the three domains easily, copy a filter from one to another easily, etc.

        You could have a different profile for each domain, but I really do not see a massive reason for this and by having them all under one, again it seems intuitive and to communicate they are together which could loosely help with any dupe content issue down the road. (Yes, I understand how duped content is looked at across multi languages. I just like being able to have a track back of some type that shows the sites together.)

        Hope this gives a bit of insight for you Frederik,

        Best.

          Why is Indeed.com traffic appearing as organic in Google Analytics?

          A large number of sessions in my client's Google Analytics account appear to come from medium: organic and source:Indeed. Since I'm focused on SEO for this project, I'd prefer that Indeed be treated as referral traffic. Any ideas for fixing this issue? Also, and I'm sure the answer is no, is there a way to fix the past data in Google Analytics that has already reported Indeed as an organic medium?

          What is Local SEO in Google Analytics (Organic Source)

          Recently, I saw "Local SEO" is mentioned as the organic source. Can someone please tell what is this and from where Google is fetching data for this source?

          "index.htm" for all url's in google analytics

          I don't have this issue with other wordpress websites, only this one website, and I don't know what's causing the issue: Google Analytics is adding an "index.htm" to every single page on the website.  So it is tracking the pages, I see no errors - is it tracking the right page? When I click on the page link in a report, I naturally go to a "404 page not found" since the website address isn't "www.example.com/rewards/index.htm" - but instead the actual address would be:
          "www.example.com/rewards/". I have navigated to View Settings in GA to insure "default page" is empty. Although adding anything else to this field does not effect the page url in analytics reports either. Could it be htaccess file - or a plugin effecting the htaccess file?_Cindy

          Google Analytics and DNS change

          Our new alumni application is going be tested at domain uva.imodules.com .  We are going to collect traffic data with a Google analytics account number UA-884652-XX. So going to uva.imodules.com/myPage.html would send its data to Google Analytics with that account number.     Then when it is ready for production we are going to just change the domain name of the application and switch the DNS over to dardencommunity.darden.virginia.edu .  So going to dardencommunity.darden.virginia.edu /myPage.html would send its data to  Google Analtics with that SAME account number.  Aside from having the testing domain data in the same profile are there any other issues/problems we may run into?

          Setting up Google Analytics default URL

          If someone has set: the default url in Google Analytics to a non-www address (http://mysite.com) then placed the UA tracking script from that GA account within the CMS framework of the website... ... and then set the permanent 301 redirect in the htaccess file to redirect to the www address (http://www.mysite.com). How less accurrate will my GA analytics measurements be considering the default url within GA is non-www and the permanent 301 redirect in htacess is to the www-address? Anyone know how reliable GA reports are until the default url in GA analytics is changed to match what is the redirected url in htaccess file? _Cindy

          Google Analytics - paid & unpaid visits messed up

          I guess Google Analytics messes up my paid and unpaid visits. In the list of top 10 kw's sending non-paid traffic it shows 5 very short kw's that we don't rank for at all (checked with RankTracker - we are not in first 50 search results). But these are the kw's we advertise for... One more proof: Webmaster Tools 'Search queries' shows 10 times less 'Clicks' from organic search than Google Analytics. Is there anyone who is experiencing this kind of problems with GA? Is there anything you can do with it?

          Why does Google Analytics think PPC traffic is organic?

          I have a bastard of a problem... Google Analytics is incorrectly tracking PPC traffic as SEO which is screwing up all my reporting . I don't care for rankings, I care for actual SEO traffic and I can't be sure that what i am seeing is correct which is driving me nuts. Any ideas?
