      Hi Dan, why not just filter it down based on subfolders and set up a new profile with an inclusion filter for the specific country directory?

        Sounds perfect, is that quite straightforward thing to do ? should i be able to work it out just form fiddling about in GA or any specific instructions/tips how to do that ?

        Thanks again for your help Martijn !

          Yes it's quite easy. You can just try to create a filter and then it will guide you through the process. Especially with their updated interface you should be able to have it up and running in a couple of minutes.

            Ok marvellous many thanks 🙂

            Is it possible to draw in that data into a specific Moz campaigh do you know ? Since i want to create individual campaigns in Moz for each sub-folder with the appropriate Google analytics data (the data relating to the local filter rather than total GA data) ?

              Haven't used Moz campaigns in a while but it should be as that's the way to pull data from the Google Analytics API as well.

                  hi Martin

                  ive created a new view in GA for this client and called it 'Turkish' then clicked on 'filters' in this view but then only see a table with 'Rank' , 'Filter Type' & 'Filter Name' headers with no actual filter options as far as i can see. How do you actually add or specify a filter here ?

                  I clicked on the help button which popped up info including the below so sounds like im in correct place on the right track but doesnt say how to add this:

                  "If you have a need to segregate data, then creating separate views and filtering them for specific data is an easy solution. For example, you might have regional teams that need to see only data for their regions, or you may want to track different subdomains in separate views."

                  Also re terminology & GA I take it 'view' in GA is the new version of 'Profile' since within GA account settings the account hierarchy is:  Account > Property > View (no mention of profiles)

                  cheers

                  dan

                    Hi Dan, you don't see a button to add a new filter? If so, then it seems that you don't have the right access level.

                      weird i have full access to this account, all boxes ticked read, analyse, collaborate etc etc but no add filter button showing. There is a button for all other options like add a goal, add a new content grouping etc etc but frustratingly none for filters

                        Update - all sorted !! whilst i had all the above permissions apparently there was still a higher level of admin/user access my client has now given me so should all be cool 🙂
