Google Analytics shows my own site as a referral

Discussion in 'Google Analytics' started by Nachsohn, Jun 14, 2007.

    Does anyone knows why?
    It happened to me in more then 1 site... When I looked into the referral pages I just see inner pages of my site...
    Also, I made an experiment to see if it has anything to do with no www urls, but it doesn't.

    Thanks,
    Nachsohn

    Do you have the analytics code on every page or use a sub domain? I think by having the code on pages, it's blocks those pages out as refferals, or if you use sub domains, their classed as seperate sites

    HTH :)

    that's really strange :( I'm guessing you can view all the stats (# of vists, # of pageviews, etc) on the pages it reckons are 'refferals'? this may be a bug in the Analytics software, might be worth sending the G boys an email

    It does that for me too. The reason for it is I have my analistics report for www.mydomain.com and when someone comes from mydomain.com it puts it as a referer.

    It is happening for bunch of my sites. I think its a bug in the Analytics and we need to let Google Boys know about it.

    I've tried it (both .htaccess 301 & php 301), that incorrect. Also, Google Analytics shows all the referrals without www.

    I think I'll ask Google. :cool:

    I think I may have the answer.

    This is the code you should add to your analytics code:
    _udn="example.com";

    google analytics search for _udn

    [FONT=Lucida Console]<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    //<![CDATA[
    _uacct = "UA-xxxxxxx-x";
    _udn="example.com"; 
    urchinTracker();
    
    //]]>
    </script>[/FONT]
    Code (markup):
