Google Analytics - Track Landing Page Redirects
-
Hi,
I'm carrying out SEO and want to properly attribute where the traffic is coming from in Google Analytics.
Essentially, I have about 25 URLS (www.samedomain.com/deal1 ; www.samedomain.com/deal2 etc) that redirect to a another (subdomain) website (www.subdomain.website.com) and want to know which URL the user first typed in.
How do I do this?! ...I'm completely drawing blanks. Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hi there,
I track my redirects by creating parameters that I append to the resolving URL, for example: /old-page >>> /new-page?redir=301&src=/old-page
I set redir as 301 and src (source) as the referring URL. This allows you to analyze only this traffic in Google Analytics by filtering for pages or landing pages that contain 301 in the URL.
This should get you the data you're looking for.
