Would be most grateful for any advice on this.
I have two analytics views under the same profile:
Website (mywebsite.com)
Blog (mywebsite.com/blog)
The website view excludes all traffic to the blog folder and the blog view only looks at traffic within the blog folder.
I’d like to adjust the social channel grouping on the website view to ensure any referrals from the blog to the website are counted in the social channel. I set up a regex to target referrals from mywebsite.com/blog/* however it seems any clicks from the blog are currently being counted as direct traffic (perhaps due to the filter?).
Would very much appreciate any suggested solutions / implementations to achieve this.
Many thanks!

I run a blog that has an e-commerce site attached to it. I want to use a separate root domain for the e-commerce site to debloat the site but also want to continue being able to attribute what content leads to sales.
I hear that I need to implement both sites under the same Property View. Is this advisable or should I create a separate property view?
Also, my biggest concern is how do I identify traffic that is solely going to the e-commerce site without being referred to from the blog site? Is there a way of filtering this out?
Thank you.
For the first question, the answer is "yes", by tracking everything in a Property (with the necessary setup), if a user lands on the blog from google search then he moves to the shop and buys, the sale will be organic.
For the second question, the answer is "you can see it with a segment". By creating a segment that excludes sessions (or users) who have seen the blog domain, you will only get those who landed and remained exclusively in the shop.
So a company I'm working with gets mentioned in the media from time to time (BBC & other big news sites).
Is anyone aware of fees / licenses we will need to use the content that BBC etc provides using OpenGraph and post that content on our site?
So essentially we want a little card on our site with the page title, OG image, URL and possibly the description, when the user clicks this it will open the original page/link on the original source site.
I can't see too much info out there other than sharing on facebook, not using OpenGraph on our site.
Can anyone share some knowledge? Cheers!
If I get your question correctly, you want to retrieve posts on the BBC site, scrape the information and show in your own site, right?
Does the site of BBC, and possible others, provide a feed where you can subscribe to? In that case, you could monitor that feed for any mentions of your company.
Alternatively, you can use one of Facebook's partners that use the Keyword Insights API. There you can set up monitoring for your company name and integrate with their API.
We have a Wordpress site with different permalink structures and we need a way to share different post links (via email newsletter) so we can measure via GA how many visits the site receives from mail users. We were thinking on adding a prefix like newsletter but we are open to other solutions.
Thanks in advance!
Best way is to use UTM-marks for Your links in e-mails, correctly marked.
I have a blogspot website. In Blogspot, you can select different themes to view a page (i.e classic, mosaic, flipcard etc.).
In Google Analytics, in All Pages report, all of them are shown separately.
/?view=flipcard
/?view=classic
/?view=mosaic
/?view=magazine
/?view=sidebar
/?view=snapshot
/?view=timeslide
I want to see them as my home page in my reports.
The same thing happens with the sub-pages as well. For example, this is an article in my blog, but I see two different entries in my reports.
/2014/05/deneme.html?view=snapshot
/2014/05/deneme.html?view=mosaic
I want to see all these articles as /2014/05/deneme.html in my reports.
Do I need to create different filters for each and every article in my blog?
What is going to happen if I add new articles, do I need to add the filters right after publishing my article to prevent this happening for my future articles?
Can you help me with the advanced filter setup in Analytics?
Thanks.
Nope, no need to add different filters, just add View to the Exclude Query Parameter option under View > View Settings.
I want all the blog posts in a specific category to be posted as status updates on Facebook. Which means: all posts posted in the category named "X" should be posted automatically to my Facbook (fan)page.
Any experience of this?
Thanks.
It would be easier to use a plugin, see: http://wordpress.org/plugins/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/ one for example.
#
This plugin automatically publishes posts from your blog to your Social Network accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+(Google Plus), Blogger, Tumblr, LiveJournal, FriendFeed, DreamWidth, Delicious, Diigo, Instapaper, Stumbleupon, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Plurk, VKontakte(VK.com), YouTube, WordPress, etc. The whole process is completely automated

There are many ways of auto posting from WordPress to social networks (such as Facebook). There are 3rd party services and plugins that you can use to achieve this.
Some may have more configuration options like choosing which categories as you mentioned but others will simply post all new blog posts to the chosen social networks with the ability to pick which networks.
See How to Auto Post from WordPress to Social Networks for a list of possible solutions. I hope it helps!
