    Is there a way to track all of my google base traffic through google analytics? I tried browsing around but i couldn't find an option to view all traffic from google base as a referrer. Can anyone provide some insight?

    Here's your answer.

    Google's official blog on tracking Google Base

    I'd been wondering this myself.


    Ironically, Google ignores their own webmaster guidelines by saying we need to duplicate our content.

    The easier way to simply add a query string to your Google Base submission that designates the source of the traffic. An example might look like this “http://abcd.com/super-cool-page/?ref=base”. Then to determine the amount of traffic you get from Google Base go to the Content Section of google analytics, select the “landing pages report”, and in the “find url search” at the bottom search for urls containing “ref=base”.
