301 Redirect tracking

[Webrevolve]

Hi All,

I have a 301 redirect tracking issue.

I have a domain, say www.123.co.uk and I have that domain 301 redirecting to www.abc.co.uk.

Looking in analytics, I do not see any referral traffic sources for the redirect i.e. I do not see www.123.co.uk as a referral (and I know it does sent traffic).

My question is - how can I implement a solution that will show referral traffic from www.123.co.uk  to www.abc.co.uk as a referal in analytics?

Hope that makes sense?

Hi Matthew,

If you add utm tracking variables to the url that you redirect to (you can use the url builder) that should do the trick, something like:

http://www.abc.co.uk/?utm_source=www.123.co.uk&utm_medium=301&utm_campaign=www.123.co.uk

This page goes through it in a bit more detail. Should do what you want.
