definition: this fix tells you how to create a script that you can use to measure across sub-domains. The fix will allow you to use one script across your sub-domains. Visits will not be seen as referred? across domains. You can include all visitors in a single dataset with this fix.
If the same script is used across domains, visitors that move between the two sub-domains will be seen as referred.
It is possible to implement a fix for this and to use the same script to track across your sub-domains.
Tracking across sub-domains
To accomplish this in two steps;
a. register (for example) "mysite.com" as the site to be tracked without the www.
b. alter the beginning of the script you receive to read as follows when placed in your source? code:
The Only Change: note the appended dot / "." in front of the mysite.com
The alternative to the above is to register the sub-domains separately.
Hello support,
I'm using opentracker to keep stats on my website http://www.mysite.com
I have two additional websites http://www.license.mysite.com and
http://www.training.mysite.com which are really just part of the main
site. My question is this - when a single visitor? comes to
http://www.mysite.com and happens to visit? both of those sites as well (where I have inserted the javascript) then it appears that I have had three visitors. I really would prefer to have
only one visitor reported as the numbers are a bit skewed - any
ideas/suggestions?
