Need REGEX help
-
Hi Mozzers,
I have multiple filters in one of the GA accounts I manage. I just created new pages that have URLs containing the keyword "spring" (location in texas) and wanted to filter out spring in the GA Spring profile(screenshot) .
My issue is it will filter all the URLs containing the kw spring and the website has multiple blog post containing the same kw (spring).
So what I need is a Regex formula so I can make sure I track only the Spring tx traffic and not the blog posts.
Thanks for letting me know how can I do that!

Hi Kristina,
Would you rather do it a different way?
Thanks

Hi Kristina
I would love to share this infor but I can't do it here. Can I get you email or so so I can send you the detailed titles.
Thanks Kristina
-
Yep, I definitely think you could! Could you send me a list of the page titles you want to target, along with some page titles that you don't? The key is to be very specific in the pattern, so it doesn't include any pages that aren't in the Spring location pages.

Hi Kristina,
the difference between them is that one is about spring cleaning and the other I would like to capture traffic is in Spring texas.
Regarding the page title, they are pretty similar but not identical. Do you think I could use that option? If yes can I include 11 page titles (since I am trying to track all the Spring Texas location pages) ? If yes how would I add this type of filter?
Thanks!

(Whoops, sorry, didn't get the notification when you first posted this)
Hm, so, it doesn't look like you're using a subdirectory here. You're using "spring" in the page. If you were using a subdirectory, it would look like this:
And so on.
Since you're using a page, though, I think that you'll need to use a custom filter (the second radio button at the top). You can choose to "Include" anything: page title, campaign, referrer, etc.
These sound like they're very similar pages, so are you using a similar page title between them? Something that would be very specific to this type of pages?
-
Hey Kristina,
Do you need more information or it enough?
Thanks!
-
Sure Kristina,
Don't want to include:
example.com/....-colorado-springs
example.com/..../spring-cleaning-....
include:
....
Thanks Kristina!

Hi Taysir,
Could you give us examples of the URLs you do and don't want to filter into this profile? You can make the domain www.mydomain.com so it remains anonymous.
Thanks!
Kristina

the question is little tricky but if someone knows any useful resources, it would be great share those instead.
Thanks guys!

Do I need a separate Google Analytics ID for a subdomain on my website?
Hello Everyone, I would like to know if I need a separate Google Analytics ID for a subdomain on my website? I have a sub-domain within my website, and the software for the site on the subdomain is asking for a Google Analytics ID. Should I be using the same Google Analytics ID as the main domain or should I be creating a new Google Analytics profile or ID? Thanks. Ryan

Multiple-Domain tracking for sister sites- NO retail checkout- Please help
Hello, I have about 5 sites I want to set up multiple-domain tracking in google analytics. All posts I read seem to be focused on cross-domain tracking for the purpose of tracking a visitor from one domain across another domain for shopping cart check outs. I don't need that. I have about 3 sister sites (mastersite.com, sistersite1.com, sistersite2.com, sistersite3.com) related to my primary site. I want 1 Master Analytics Profile to track traffic for all of these sites combined. My visitors will not jump from mastersite.com over to sistersite1.com. There will be no cross-domain visits. How can I set up 1 master google analytics profile that will aggregate traffic data from all sites and present the data to me in one analytics profile. Please help

Help! Organic traffic decreased 75%.
Hi all, I've had fairly steady organic traffic to my website (www.toptienmobiel.nl) for the last 2 years. Since the beginning of march however I've noticed that the organic traffic was decreasing. Up until now my total organic traffic has decreased to about a quarter of what it was. It doesn't seem to be a penalty, since I still have most of my important keywords on the first page. They've decreased significantly though, mostly from the top 3 to 7+ position. Any idea on what may have been the reason for this sudden decrease? My link profile is still natural and I haven't done anything radical to the website concerning the backlinks or on-page elements. Could it be an algorithmic (Panda / Penguin) update? Thanks in advance!

Help with Analytics
Afternoon all - I hope someome might be able to help me getting some data out of Google Analytics. I want to try pull a report which will show me both what the last page before a goal completion was and the country that generated the click. Is that possible at all? When I go to look at goals, I can only pull data for the last page before the goal click ... and when I look at my goals in the Pages>Content menu, I can only view country. So is there any way of pulling the two set of data together at all? Any thoughts would be really appreciated. Thanks very much, Simon
