What is a website profile?



A website profile is essentially a set of rules that define the reports that you see. Generally, a website profile corresponds with a domain - you'll have one profile per domain, so that you can view reports for each domain separately.

If you would like to track sections of a site, you can again create multiple profiles and use filters to return the applicable data.

If there are certain subdirectories of your website that you would like to track, you can create a filter to only report on traffic to that directory:

  1. Click Filter Manager
  2. From the Existing Filters list, click Add
  3. Enter a unique Filter Name
  4. From the Filter Type drop-down list, select Include only traffic from a subdirectory
  5. In the Subdirectory field, replace mydir with the subdirectory you would like to track, leaving the ^/ and / in place. For example, if you would like to report on www.example.com/cars, enter:

    ^/cars/

  6. Select the Available Website Profile to which to apply this filter and click Add
  7. Click Finish to create and apply this filter, or Cancel to exit without saving
