Setting up google analytics for main domain and sub directory with wordpress installed in both?

1 Views

I have a main website (WWW.XYZ.COM). Under it I plan to have a blog (WWW.XYZ.COM/BLOG).

Both domain and sub-directory has 2 different and separate wordpress installations. I want to track my users and find out how they interact. My main website is for a different purpose while the blog is for marketing etc.

Do you think it is best to have two separate analytic account or is there a way to study each traffic individually under one account? I use a wordpress plugin :https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp?filter=5 to get analytics on my admin panel directly.

I want to see people visiting my main website through the blog or vice versa. I also want the clear source of the traffic (Social media–>blog–>main website for example).

I am totally new to analytics. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

  1. The ideal setup would be,

    Creating a single Account,
    MyBusiness

    inside which create one Property MySite

    And create three Views

    All Website Data will report the collective performance of your site and blog. You will have to add Filters to the views Site and Blog

    Site should have an exclude filter for excluding urls containing www.xyz.com/blog

    Blog should have an include filter for including traffic contaning www.xyz.com/blog 

    MyBusiness
    MySite
        All Website Data
        Site
        Blog
