Google Analytics config with subdomain

[blackcell]

I have a question I am sure a seasoned Google Analytics user can answer fast. I am new to using analytics and I don't think I have it configured right for the way in which I am using my domain with subdomains.

This is what I have:

mysite(dot)com - my web space. Right now it has a redirect to go to the below:

incept.mysite(dot)com - forums for game discussion and tutorials(smf inspired by phpfreaks woot)

I like to think I have smf understanding down. I place my analytics code into the template index file before it prints </head>.

 

On google analytics, I have web properties set to hxxp://incept.mysite(dot)com On the tracking code configuration I have one site with multiple subdomains.

 

For some reason I don't feel this is tracking quite right. I also have an issue where going to hxxp://incept.mysite(dot)com works until you click a link and then it goes to mysite(dot)com/forumfolder/file.php and the navigation goes from there. Any ideas on more info I can provide to help trouble shoot some of this?

 

Thanks a ton in advance.

Make sure to have the following since you're using subdomains:

_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', '.mysite.com']);

 

And I'd change the web properties to the highest domains (in this case http://mysite.com)

 

There are several tools to debug - GA has a Chrome Extension. My favorite (and what I use daily) is Firebug + Omnibug for Firefox.

Awesome man. Thanks. I needed to change web properties back.
