Tracking pages in two separate analytics accounts
-
Hi All,
I'm trying to track some pages on one website in two separate Google Analytics accounts.
Has anybody done this before that could help with the tracking code?
Thanks in advance,
Elias

Ok thanks all.
I'm looking at a different solution at the moment.
As I cannot create a new account and the filters won't achieve what I'm trying to achieve.
Thanks for all your help

Elias and Himanshu,
Himanshu's and my response are indeed not the same but similar. Himanshu is suggesting actually creating a second profile in GA that requires a second GAQ call.
The way I suggested using a filter would not require a second GAQ call. Either way, you'll have to set up the filters.
My apologies for the discrepancy.

Himanshu is right. Depending on your use-case, you can create a new profile (we'll call it profile-B") and I don't think it was mentioned, you can create a filter on that profile that will only include analytics for pages that make it through the filter resulting in "Profile-B".
I may be too much stating the obvious here but these are a few examples of filters I use with my clients for the exact purpose you mention:
- filtering to INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE content based on site path
- filtering to INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE content based on country
- filtering to include content based on search engine visits only
- filtering to INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE content based on ecommerce transaction visits
- filtering to INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE content based on goal success visits
- filtering to INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE content based on ad campaigns
Possibilities are endless depending on use case. I'm happy to help with filters given the parameters.

Create a new profile in your account which tracks only those web pages which need to be accessed by another company. Then give the other company access to that profile only (and not to the whole account. A GA account can have multiple profiles, remember!). There is no need to track same web pages through multiple GA accounts.
-
Ha, sorry, not a situation I have come across before, interesting though!
-
Thanks Marcus,
Apologies I don't think I explained the situation very well...
There are two separate companies/websites each with their own GA accounts.
There are some pages on one website that need to be tracked by both accounts. We cannot give both parties access to all data.
Is this more clear?
Usually the code I would use is this:
But I'd like to find the code that would work with the new Asynchronous style tracking

Hey Elias
You just set up your Analytics as usual but grant access to another user to view the reports.
Very simple and then the other person can log in and access the full reports in either read only or full access modes.

Hope it helps!

Transferring of analytic data
Hey SEOMoz community, Question, we just purchased a business and while we didn't keep their website content we acquired their URLs and will be rebuilding the site. We've asked for and been denied any historical analytic data e.g. they wont transfer admin rights over to us. Is there anyway to access historical data without being made an admin? or do we start from ground zero. One of the reasons we're being given for not being allowed access is that "Google analytics and the associated keywords are the vendor's intellectual property" - given that we brought the brand doesn't that IP transfer over to us anyways? Thanks, PC

Google Analytics Organic search queries aren't being updated, even though I'm still seeing results in all our typical results pages.
We pushed some new changes to the site and Google Analytics is no longer updating the Organic Search queries listing, even though traffic is consistent and and we're still landing results in all our typical keyword searches. Any ideas?

Track shopping cart abandonment?
We have an e-commerce site, and we use Google Analytics. We have created a "sales" goal + the funnel. Our funnel has the following structure: shopping cart - register - login - address - shipping - payment method - confirmation - sales This helps us track "goal abandonment". But we're also interested in tracking "shopping cart abandonment". For example we can see that 100 visitors enter the shopping cart, and 80 of them proceed to register or other steps in the funnel. This means that 20% left the car (shown by a red arrow in Google Analytics). Is there other way to see how many people left the shopping cart without proceeding to any of the other steps in the funnel, for example, people that closed their browsers or went to a page in the site not included in the funnel? I know I'm missing something here... Thanks!

Google Analytics Options
A couple of months ago, I read about a new web stats application that is real time but more importantly let's you track user actions on a page (i.e. which buttons were clicked for example). This information would obviously be very helpful in continuing to improve site performance. Anyone have suggestions or know the name of this application? I do not mind paying but am not looking for an enterprise class application.
