Analytics for multiple sites — not subdomains

  • I have two sites, both running the Yoast Google analytics plugin. One site is setup with Yoast and mated with the analytics and all is well.

    However, I have a completely different site that I want to get analytics on and can’t seem to figure out exactly how to execute it. Most of the references out there (when googling) point to setting up cross domain tracking. Maybe that *is* what I want. But it don’t want subdomain tracking.

    All the “how-tos” out there are pretty confusing. Or they’re not focused on the wordpress / plugin side of configurations. How can I add a second site to my google analytics? Via the Yoast plugin?

    Thanks in advance!

    Okay, so I made a *little* progress last night on the Google Analytics Admin page. I made a new property for my second site and now have both sites, listed as separate properties there. I have a new UA code for the 2nd site now too. It’s just like the first code with a -2 at the end (where the other has a -1). Great!

    However, I still can’t get the Yoast plugin to authenticate properly. When I try to authenticate with Google and paste in the code that is generated, nothing really happens on the Yoast plugin. Basically steps 9 – 11 here.

    I’ve also tried using the “manual” insertion of the UA code, the one with the -2 at the tail. Same result = no tracking. What am I missing?

    Thanks again!

    Hi, I am having similar problem…

    I want to send data to multiple web properties from a single page. I’ve include the following “Custom code” on “Advanced” tab:

    ga(‘create’, ‘UA-37035286-1’, ‘auto’, {‘name’: ‘newTracker’}); // New tracker.
    ga(‘newTracker.send’, ‘pageview’); // Send page view for new tracker.

    Is it right?

    Thanks!
