Cleaning up URLs in Google Analytics - google-analytics

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.

How to comparing pageviews stemming from search and from navigation on Google Analytics?

I'd like to see how many users view products by using the search feature vs how many go through using the nav. All pages using the search have "/search" in the URL and all pages going thorough the navigation have "/department". I'm wondering if there is a way to see how many pageviews there are that contain each of those terms.
If you have Google Analytics on the site, just go to the Behavior section and All pages report, then you can also use the filter to isolate the pages path you want.

Google Analytics - Some weird URLs are being registered in behavior reports

We made a google analytics account for one of our clients as part of the requirements.
Under Reporting tab, we have sections like Behavior -> Site Content -> All pages. In All Pages section we are able to see a table which contains all the urls which are viewed with respective pageviews , unique pageviews and other dimensions.
A normal page view looks like:"/pwsportal/faces/homePageNav/mktplan_adf.Ctrl_9_afrLoop_1234423".
Some how there are some weird page urls like :
I tried using Exclude Filters and couldn't eliminate these kind of urls.
From one on the blog i got to know that if any url contains any script tags it is a part of hacking technique called cross site scripting.
Finally i am here to find a solution to eliminate the these kind of existing urls and to prevent them from getting registered in future into google analytics.

Duplicate domain tracking on Google Analytics issue

We've accidentally placed the same Google Analytics tracking code on two different domains.
www.y.com
www.x.com
We've rectified the issue now but retrospectively, is there any way to filter that data going to the specific domain name www.x.com for example?
Note: this is not a duplicate of Google Analytics: Track two domains as one
You could add a filter to the view (profile) in question. That will remove the data that you don't want. Another option if you don't want to loose the data in the view would be to create a custom segment that you could use when ever you want to split the data out.
Update from Google+
You can search with regex
^/app/
in the small search bar (custom segment) in your page reports (e.g. Behavior -> Site Content -> All Pages), after which you can look at the aggregate metrics for all pages which start with /app/ (i.e. all the pages with different parameters).
If all the /app/.* have the same page title, you can look at the Behavior > Overview report, but choose Page Title as the dimension.

How to show pages visited during sessions marked with a custom variable in Google Analytics?

I embed custom links into each resume I send out, so I can see who as clicked on the links. I then take the custom value (passed through a url parameter) and pass it into Google Analytics as a session level custom variable. What I want to do is create a report that will show me all the typical information I can normally see (pages visited, time, etc), but filtered down by custom variables. i.e. I want to see that people form company X have looked at these parts of my website. I've been reading through all the documentation and feel like a custom report is the right way to go, but I'm not really sure. Any suggestions, links, instructions would be appreciated.
Create a custom report. Play around with some configuration like the following:

How to setup Google Analytics for a total number of hits on three particular links on my website?

There are in particular three links on my website that I want Google Analytics to track for me.
I was wondering, how could I customize my Google Analytics to show metrics for those three link separately. Is their any guide?
Thanks a lot
Google Analytics tracks all links by default. If you want to check how these 3 particular links are doing, you can look at the content. Here's how you reach there:
Standard Reports > Content > Overview > All Pages
Here, you will get a list of all the pages from your in a table. If your links don't show up here, you can add an "Advanced Filter" to the table.
