How can I track traffic in a subcategory

Hello

our website have main categories and subcategories.

main category url www.sitename.com/maincategory
subcategory url www.sitename.com/subcategory

it means that our subcategory url do not inherit the maincategory in it

moreover our articles also appear as www.sitename.com/articletitle


We already can track the traffic in our main categories. However
we also need to track the traffic for our subcategories as well.

We do not know how to do this.
Do we also need to add some form of tracking code.

Can someone here help us with this please.

Thanks.

 

I think your URL structure is not good..!It's not seo friendly...!
it will do good if you have url structure in an order like
sitename.com -> Categories -> subcategorys -> final article..

so that you categories and subcategoryes are going to index every time once you posted any thing in any categories..!

Coming to your situvation ...
If you follow about url structure, you no need to do any more to track the performance of any page.
but hear the situvation is differ, how ever you can see in GA in "Audience" section go to visitors flow, so that you can find the how your pages are visted by your visitors,( you can select any of metric to find your desired info)

 

thank you chaithu for the input.
since we do not know what is really to be done in there,we got someone to fix this for us.

View Content Drilldown in GA. If does not give you desired results, only solution i see is to change URL structure with 301 redirect or to search by pages in GA ex. www.sitename.com/subcategory

 

you can see in content drilldown under content section in google analytics

 

I experience the same. I have started a blog and then later I also initiated a forum. But interestingly I found that forum traffic is more than the blog. So I wanted to make it a separate entity. I have the exact same structure which you have used, so what I did is, Added filter in the advanced segments. That helped me a lot to easily track my traffic. But it's giving me some issues for the Paid and non-paid traffic to monitor for both the domains as in
sitename.com
sitename.com/forum

 

You can also add some more profiles, where you filter the traffic on subfolders. It is a filter out of the box, so it is quite easy. It will give you a better overview if you just need the data for this particular section.
