Are my Google Analytics ( 2 domains 1 site) duplicated or unique?
- by MarcDJay
We have recently built a new website with a new domain to replace an old website, and on the advice of our IT guys and web dev team have pointed both oldaddress.com's & newaddress.com's a records to the new website.
Now, they both share the same google analytics code (UA-12345-1) and as such we have two entries in the Google Analytics dashboard. The problem is I'm still fairly novice with GA and as the reports seem VERY similar (~25k pageviews for each domain), are these figures exclusively for that domain?
For example:
oldaddress.com 25,400 pageviews
newaddress.com 25,600 pageviews
Does this mean that in total for this website I have 51,000 pageviews.
Hope this is clear enough but let me know if anything needs clarifying. Thanks.
