Google Tag Manager Tracking
-
We have Google Tag Manager set up to track our website https://kontenta.co.uk/
Although we have a blog - https://kontenta.co.uk/designroom/
I'm just wondering if it's better to track the sites separately? If so, how do I add the blog to tag manager?
Does it need setting up as a filter to match the regular expression https://kontenta.co.uk/designroom/*
We just need to figure out the best way to measure both the website and blog traffic and if users are coming from the blog to the site, and what interactions they are making.
Thanks

Thanks Marcus, that's a great help. We use Magento for our main site but Wordpress for the blog, so we will just ensure the same tracking code is implemented and use the custom filters as you said.
Much appreciated

Hey Joshau
You will want Tag Manager and any relevant tags on all pages on the site. So, if you use separate blog software you will want to ensure tag manager is installed there but use the same tracking code.
You then have various options to filter the data but I would likely set up various views on the Analytics data to achieve a more granular view of what is happening.
- General view (default) of all site traffic
- View of just the blog traffic
- View of the site traffic exluding the view traffic
The view filters allow you to achieve all of this in a pretty straightforward manner:

As an additional tip you can use a custom filter in Screaming Frog to determine your tags are installed as they should be and we are big fans of the Google Tag Assistant Chrome Plugin: https://support.google.com/tagassistant/answer/2947093?hl=en
So, for your site tag assistant shows the tag assitant tag, the remarketing tag and the analytics tag (it even details that these are implemented within tag assistant).
Hope that helps!

If GTM is on all pages for the kontenta.co.uk domain, they will both be tracked. Both pages are on your domain so you will need to track them under the one account.
You can just filter the pageviews in Analytics for data inside /designroom/* and the index

Tracking Organic Traffic and Conversions from multiple TLDs with Google Tag Manager
Hello Guys, I want to track traffic / conversions from different domains (basically same brand - but a lot of different TLD's). The "problem" is that the main conversion which I want to track always happens on the .com TLD and all other TLD's link to there. The problem is, that now the traffic always counts as Referral Traffic, even after setting up cross domain tracking over the google tag manager... So example: Sessions begins on example.co.uk/landing-page11 after User searched on it on google. He decides to buy the product and therefore moves to example.com for the checkout process. No I will have the conversion in my google analytics under referral with example.co.uk. --> but I want to have it under organic, and not under referral. How I can manage this? Thanks for you Help!

Two GTM tags
Hi guys, I need some help on the following: My client has different websites worldwide all with country extensions and on overall .com domain. These websites (and GTM accounts) are all managed by local agencies. We would like to implement a cross domain tracking GA account in order to see some overall trends and numbers. We don't want to implement our codes in the existing containers as they are in many cases managed by local agencies. Is it really negative to implement two GTM containers on one website? Any other ideas? Thanks,
