When recently changing a domain name for one of our clients, the huge task of changing everything associated with the website began. One step was the website's hit tracking, provided by Google's Analytics software. Whilst the client's website used the same content and structure, we were concerned the use of 301 redirects from the old domain might not be logged or could create duplicate hits. Google's ViewAs far as Google Analytics is concerned, the website domain is irrelevant. They only care about the web pages themselves. Consequently, you can leave the same tracking code as supplied by Analytics on your web pages (if you're still using their old code, it might be an excuse to upgrade to the latest version).. Changing your Analytics ProfileEach website tracked on Google Analytics is known as a 'Profile'. Once logged in, you can select Edit on your Profile overview.
Your Profile Settings page will list the website URL concerned as well as any set Goals or Filters you have applied. It's not immediately apparent how to change the website URL, but you can do so by hitting another Edit link on the top-right of the page.
Changing your URL name will not affect your hit reporting at all, it's simply so you maintain continuity.
