Hello all. Just a quick one to explain how the Universities domains are tracked by Google Analytics in regards to new and unique views and users.

The Google Analytics account used by marketing gets its stats from all of the combined hud.ac.uk domains. So this includes Recruitment, Coursefinder, Research, Blogs, Students, Staff etc. Therefore if a unique user goes onto the main hud.ac.uk web page, then to a blogs.hud.ac.uk page and lastly to a research.hud.ac.uk page then they are still classed as a single unique user and unique view as they are being track between each domain. However new views will still be counted when the user moves between pages on different domains.

Thanks for reading and I hope this is useful and clears some things up.
