I have two sites, both on the same domain name. I.E.

www.example.com
www.example.com/blog

I have an analytics account set up for both which works well; I can see that traffic for the sites in their respective accounts. However, I want to be able to track referrals from www.example.com/blog towww.example.com. Although I know referrals are occurring, I can't seem to find any way to track them in analytics. I think something needs to change with my analytics code, but I am not sure what to do. Do I need to do something with the cookie domain?

Looks like you need to specify the cookie path. Try: 

//Tracking Code Customizations Only
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'YOUR-ACCOUNT-ID']);
_gaq.push(['_setCookiePath', '/blog/']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

  • I changed my analytics code to what you suggested, but I still don't see referrals listed in the www.example.com analytics account. This seems to have fixed half the problem, I can see referrals from www.examle.com -> www.example.com/blog but I still don't see referrals from www.example.com/blog -> www.example.com. Is it possible to get those listed as well? Thanks for your response.
