More visits than pageviews due to multiple Google Analytics tags #864

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

Hi,

We still use the old "ga.js" method to add Google Analytics tags. 

We develop pages on a subdmain of the corporate website of our clients. For 
example, the corporate website is www.example.com and our pages are on 
sl.example.com.

We add 2 tags, one from the client and one for us. We define a _setDomainName 
for both tags, but sometimes this configuration is different

 - Tag 1 :  _setDomainName = ".example.com"
 - Tag 2 :  _setDomainName = "example.com"

Due to these different values, we have an issue in our Google Analytics account 
because the number of sessions is higher than the number of page views.

If we have same values for _setDomainName, this issue is fixed. 

Is-it possible to understand how it's possible to have more visits than page 
views ?

Regards,
