    Hi Everyone,

    I have a question with regards to the DATA that GA provided on their report.


    People who click on a blogs and are redirected to specific pages on
    a Website (eg. mainpage/jobs), does this count as a number on our analytics
    in that particular section AND also as a number on our main page?

    Hope any one can shed some clarifications and explanation with this.

    Many thanks!

    The GA code should be installed on every page on your website. GA will count it as a visit if someone viewed multiple pages on your site or only one page. In the Content section you can see pageviews, which will help you determine which pages are getting viewed most.

    If the blog (domain.com) and specific page (domain.com/jobs) are on the same domain then it will be counted as a single visit with two page views.

    You mean, on the GA report, under the (domain.com) it will show 1 visit same on the specific page (domain.com/jobs)? meaning, if on that time there's 1 visitor on the job category there will also be 1 visitor on the main category? Am I right?

    No, but when you check your analytics stats, you will see one visit with two impressions and if you will review the content stats, you will find one visit on both main page and jobs page.

    Even if the visitor did not visit the main page? Is it possible that the number of visits on our main page are the total visits of each category?

    No, this is not possible. The visit on any other section would not count on the main page stats until the visitor not visits the main page.

    I see... now it's clear to me that the number of visits data on our Analytics for the main page are unique from the visits on our category pages. Right?

    I agree with what Manish has to say here. The visit from the same domain will count as visit but Google will not consider it unique.
