Google Analytics Question

lisag · 02-20-2010, 11:59 AM

I can't find the answer online.

Suppose I am running a site and you are my affiliate. In your affiliate control panel I give you a field to enter your Google Analytics code.

Now, when someone clicks on your affiliate link, say mysite.com/?id=1, my script generates a sales page for the product and your GA code is automatically inserted.

Will Google track that?
Can you set up goals, etc, in GA for a site you don't personally own but is displaying your GA code?

Thanks for the help!

Edited : its not that simple it seems. Probably you cant as 2 analytics codes can't run on the same domain.

I think you have to offer a tracking pixel with a system other than G Analytics

I actually run two GA codes on the one domain. One in my shopping cart in the root and one in my blog folder for the blog so I would say if the affil;iate program is in a different folder you might be able to.
