Google Analytics Multiple Domains

    I am trying to make subdomain tracking working for some hours already – and it still does not work, that is very depressing.

    I just do not know what the problem is. At first I tried to make 3 different views in google analytics: one for the main domain and one for each of the both subdomains. I made filters for showing the whole path and for just showing the content of subdomain a on view a, and for subdomain b on view b.

    In this case I can track all 3 websites on the view for the main domain, just as I want to. But I do not get any track for the subdomain views, it just does not show anything.

    Then I have tried it with three properties, same logic as above, one for each domain/ subdomain. But then only the main domain will be tracked, and none of the subdomains will ever be tracked. Thus I will just see visits on my main domain, but I will not be able to see any visit on any of my subdomains (even for the main domain view).

    I hope somebody can help me with this issue. I am really clueless and do not know what else I could try.

    Hi Hopeless2,

    Are you using the classic or the universal tracking code? Also, is this entirely using the All-in-One settings, or are you adding your own code for tracking things? In general, you should be able to manage this by entering your Tracking Domain and checking Track Multiple Domains.

    Hi Peter,

    I am using the universal tracking code and I am entirely relying on the All-in-One settings, I do not use any own or modified code.
    Like mentioned above I have tried different tracking codes, and “Track Multiple Domains” is activated on every subdomain.

    Hi Hopeless2,

    This should largely work out of the box with Universal tracking; the “Track Multiple Domains” option will set allowLinker to true; also set your Cookie Domain appropriately (this uses the Tracking Domain option in All in One SEO Pack).

    What do you mean by I should set it appropriately. I thought this is implemented in the code automatically, as long as I dont use any other code? My code looks like this:

    <script>
    (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i[‘GoogleAnalyticsObject’]=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
    (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
    m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
    })(window,document,’script’,’//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js’,’ga’);

    ga(‘create’, ‘UA-30025735-1’, ‘auto’);
    ga(‘send’, ‘pageview’);

    </script>

    And it still does not work. 🙁 Could you at least tell me, which way should be correct? Should I use different views and the same tracking ID for all domains/ subdomains or should I use different properties with different IDs or anything completely else?

    Yes, auto should work fine there; yes, you should use the same tracking ID.

    Ok, I finaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally have it! 🙂
    The problem was one of the filters I have had read about somewhere else. There somebody said the filter solved the issue for him. I do not know how – because for me it was the root of the problem!

    However, everything seems to work fine now. And thanks for your help, especially as the mistake was on my side and not on the plugins! 🙂
