How to have numbers of one page

I need the numbers of one URL that belongs to a blog. I did in two different ways and the numbers were very diferent. I want to know what is the right way.

The first way that I configurate the dash to show me the results was just selecting a URL in a dimension "Page URL (full) (v8)". I put the part of the link that matter and then I push to the dash when the result was loaded. I put June 3 and July 31 in the date range. 

In the second way, in the same dashboard, I created a segment and I follow this exactly tutorial here:

  1. Open Segment Builder
    In Adobe Analytics Workspace, go to the left panel and select Components > Segments, then click Create Segment.
  2. Set the Scope
    In the Definition Builder, set the scope to Hit. This ensures the segment only includes hits (page views) that match the URL condition, not entire visits or visitors who may have visited other pages [1].
  3. Add a Page URL Condition
    Drag the Page URL dimension into the definition area. Then:
    • Choose the operator "contains"
    • Paste the relevant part of the URL.

The numbers were different.

I am a bit confused by your first attempt?

 

So I would like to confirm. Let's say you have a blog:

 

https://www.domain.com/blog/blog-of-interest/

and in that blog, you have posts like:

https://www.domain.com/blog/blog-of-interest/123/

https://www.domain.com/blog/blog-of-interest/124/

https://www.domain.com/blog/blog-of-interest/125/

etc...

 

In the left panel, you search for "/blog/blog-of-interest/" and you pulled over all the pages that the search showed?

 

If this is the scenario, this is probably the problem, this search will show you high traffic, recent content... but may not return all the relevant URLs. So you may only be pulling over a subset... and only for a recent time frame... 

 

You could pull over "Page URL (full) (v8)" into your table, and apply a "contains" filter... but honestly I would use the Segment as I feel it's a cleaner display of the information....

 

The segment method will look for the contains value in whatever time frame your panel is using, so it should still pull content from last year, or new content once it's published.

Hello. I need to send every month the results of an specific blog. How can I make a dashboard with all the results of the month considering all the pages of the blog?

I've merged your two posts together, as they are basically the same question asked slightly different ways.

 

The segment that you created looking at the URL contains, can work... however, IF your site is large, with a lot of different URLs, and if your URL dimension contains campaign parameters, you might exceed the "unique value" threshold... which means using the URL will not be a good solution....

 

This is where I like to use additional dimensions, to track "lookup" type information... such as:

 

  • dimension "Page Type" - which would track values like "blog", "blog post", "section", "home", etc
  • dimension "Blog Alias" - this would only apply to blog pages (blog and blog post), but would hold the "blog-of-interest" value so I can easily identify the different blogs
  • dimension "Blog Post" - this would only be for the specific posts, and would hold the post id "123" or "124"... the changes of exceeding 2 million unique values is slim (unless you have a lot of blog posts)

 

Then, I would pull blog content by created a segment using "Blog Alias", or I might just pull that value over into my table, then break it down by "Blog Post"... there are lots of ways to slice and dice the data.

      Oh, nice. So, I will considerate the result that Segment gave me. But, I have another question: I have other URL that the result don't appear when I put in segment.

        This might be the result of a hash conflict? Or maybe the page was viewed outside of the reporting window?

         

        It's hard to diagnose without seeing it....
