How to correctly track the analytics when using iframe
- by Sherry Ann Hernandez
In our main aspx page we have this analytics code
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-1301114-2']);
_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'florahospitality.com']);
_gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
_gaq.push(function() {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTrackerByName();
var iframe = document.getElementById('reservationFrame');
iframe.src = pageTracker._getLinkerUrl('https://reservations.synxis.com/xbe/rez.aspx?Hotel=15159&template=flex&shell=flex&Chain=5375&locale=en&arrive=11/12/2012&depart=11/13/2012&adult=2&child=0&rooms=1&start=availresults&iata=&promo=&group='); });
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>
Then inside this aspx page is an iframe. Inside the iframe we setup this analytics code
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-1301114-2']);
_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'reservations.synxis.com']);
_gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', 'AvailabilityResults']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>
The problem is I see to pageview when I go to find the AvailabilityResults page. The first one is a direct traffic and the other one is a cpc.
How come that they have different source? I was expecting that both of them is using a direct traffic.
