Best Way To Track Multiple Subfolders?

    Hi there, if anyone could help it would be appreciated. Thank you.

    I have a domain and at its root you can choose a city.
    Once a city is chosen it takes you to that city which is a subfolder. Example: www.mydomain.com/city-name/, www.mydomain.com/city-name2/, www.mydomain.com/city-name3/ and so on.

    I'd like to keep track of each subfolder. Do I need to treat each subfolder as a separate identity or is using the main code okay?

    I also have to setup goals in each subfolder to track conversions on a separate subfolder.
    Example: From www.mydomain.com/city-name/application/index.php to www.mydomain.com/city-name/application/thankyou/index.php
    , and www.mydomain.com/city-name2/application/index.php to www.mydomain.com/city-name2/application/thankyou/index.php and so on.
    I'd also like to keep track of each subfolder as I'll be using these subfolders as landing pages in my adwords campaigns.

    Any suggestions on the best way to go about doing this?

    Thank you!

    Hey Bertamus,

    GA will do what you mentioned above (tracking subfolders) by default, if you add the code to all pages on your site. There's no need to create separate properties for each city folder.

    Tracking goals/conversions is fairly straight forward as well. If you want to use AdWords conversion code, simply add it to any of the "thank you" pages. A goal in GA could also be easily set up, for any pageviews that happen on the "thank you" pages (any page containing "thankyou" in the URL).

    Hope that makes sense! :)
