How to apply Ignored Referrals to GA tag?

[siegert_dierick]

In order to exclude internal referrals you can add in the GA script some lines looking like: _gaq.push(['_addIgnoredRef', '.tealium.com']); _gaq.push(['_addIgnoredRef', 'tealium.training.com']); I assumed that this list could just be added as a JS extension and the scope set as the Google Analytics tag. However this does not seem to have much impact. Is there a more efficient method via extensions? Or should we modify the tag template and add the lines in there? Tx Siegert

Hi Siegert, A standard JS extension won't work in this case because it runs before the tracker for Google Analytics is created. Since you'll need to do a template edit for that, I'd recommend contacting your account manager so we can help you set it up. You may also want to consider updating to Google Universal Analytics. Referral exclusions are done via the GUA interface instead of in the JavaScript code.
