Will Google Analytics Track Dynamic Pages?

Here's what I mean. We've got Google Analytics set up to track all pages visited on the website. If I direct somebody to "custom-page.html?username=leroyJenkins" will a hit be recorded for that full URL or just for "custom-page.html"?

Thanks!

Solution

  • By default Google Analytics settings it will be recorded "custom-page.html?username=leroyJenkins". And two URL with different GET-parameters will be shown as two participal pages. For example, URL's custom-page.html?username=leroyJenkins and custom-page.html?username=tomSmith would be tracked as two different pages

    But if you want to track visits of page custom-page.html independently of GET-parameters, you can exclude them at Administration-> Profile Settings->Exclude URL Query Parameters
