Re: [Summary-Talk] filtering a redirecting domain

[Jason Linhart <jason@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is tricky. The old.exmaple.com logs will contain a redirect for
each visit referred through to the new domain, but there won't be any
other way of distinguishing the visits. If you have the old.example.com
server setup to log a special (either unique or tagged) request URI you
could use the visit entry point by search phrase report in a sub-report
that includes both domains. But I wouldn't expect the logs to have been
setup that way.

Other than that I can't think of any simple way to do this. Fairly
tediously, you could do some post processing to subtract out the
old.example.com report results from the new.example.com reports using
reports which had been exported in Excel format. But this will take some
doing as the line items need to be matched up by request before the
subtraction happens.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
