will google analytics work with multiple sharepoint zones?

I have a SharePoint 2010 site that has both Internet and Intranet zones. I want to capture internal and external traffic to the site. Internet access uses forms based authentication and Intranet access uses windows authentication.

  1. Internet: http://www.thesite.org
  2. Intranet: http://thesite

Apart from the landing pages, both sites are the same. Google Analytics Support suggests that the Intranet must be accessible by a fqdn. But I guess that doesn't apply in this case.

So if I place a google analytics tracking code in my master page would it capture the traffic from both sources? Or do I need a different approach?

This will probably not work by default - IIRC cookies can only be set on a fully qualified domain name, and since GA uses cookies it will not work on http://thesite.

A possible workaround might be to disable cookies in GA by setting storage:none when you create the tracker; in that case you have to supply and maintain your own clientid, e.g.

ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Y', {
  'storage': 'none',
  'clientId': '76c24efd-ec42-492a-92df-c62cfd4540a3'
});
