How to track outlinks to different subdomain of blog domain

Hi there,
Do you track each subdomain using a separate UA code or do you use the same UA code across all subdomains in your setup?

Hi Chris,
We use seperate UA codes for subdomains.

Hi Chris,
Any updates on this?

Hi Chris,

Any updates on this?

Let me know.

Cheers

Oh my apologies, this ticket got lost. Some contributors day at a WordCamp I’m gonna see if we can’t get some sort of author notification dashboard system figured out for .org.

Is there any particular reason you’re using separate UA codes? If you used the same one, they’d be tracked automatically using Universal Analytics. If you really want to use seperate UA codes, the following should work:
Set Subdomain tracking to yourdomain.com (note do not include subdomain)
Set Track outbound click and downloads to checked
Set _setAllowLinker to checked

(bold indicates name or abbreviated name of MonsterInsights setting)

Thank you very much, Chris!

I have changed the settings and I am waiting for the first results to get reported in GA.

We use seperate UA codes because we don’t want blog traffic and webshop traffic mixed up in the same GA profile.

Not a problem

Hello Chris,

You changed to the status of this topic to ‘Resolved’, but can you reopen it?

We still can’t track clicks on links that point to a different subdomain under the same main domain.

Here’s the case:

We run WordPress and your plugin on https://blog.brandfield.nl/

We run a shop at https://www.brandfield.nl/

We create nice blog posts that contain links to the our shop. Check out this post for example: https://blog.brandfield.nl/what-to-wear-festival-edit/

There are about 20 links in this article pointing to a URL on https://www.brandfield.nl/ but clicks on them are NOT TRACKED as events.

Here’s how I set up the plugin:

• Track outbound clicks and download links? -> Set to ‘Using JavaScript’
• Turn on allowLinker -> Checked
• Enable enhanced link attribution, Anchor tracking, Allow anchor -> Unchecked
• Domain to track as -> Set to ‘brandfield.nl’

I have tried different combinations of settings. Like unchecking ‘Turn on allowLinker’ and leaving ‘Domain to track as’ empty and tried all combinations. With no success.

Why is it not working? All links are being tracked as events, except the ones pointing https://www.brandfield.nl/

Hope you can help me out!

Thank you

-Rick
