Hi,

I'm using ReDJ and the redirection works fine, but the statistics of my site didn't increase. It seems like the redirect hits don't count in Google Analytics.

Any suggestions?

Here's a screenshot of my configuration.

Hi guy,
thanks for using ReDJ.
Configuration seems good. Hit on each item is a counter. Everytime the item matches with a request's URI, redirect happens and hit counter increse by one.

In your case it seems hits are working well. The first one, for example, /article.php has more than 11.000 redirects.

Take a look at your Google Analytics entries. You should see that
the number of errors 404 decreased as google finds redirects instead of errors. And when Google replace such items, there are no more call from Google results (so your counter meter slows).

Enjoy,
Luigi

Thanks for your reply.

Google Analytics doesn't count 404 errors. In Webalizer 404 errors are decreased indeed. Let me rephrase my question.

Let's say that the daily visits of my site were 1000. When I changed my site to joomla visits fell to 300, because we had too many 404 errors. Now that we solved this problem with ReDJ, we expected that our visits would increase again. Instead they are still around 300. Seems like the redirected (from RedJ) hits don't count to our web statistics.

Any ideas on why this is happening?

Thanks

On ReDJ you have a counter for item's hits so that you can check number of calls. That's because redirect aren't tracked by Google javascript.

After ReDJ sends a 301 to client browser, the browser loads the new page and Google tracks the call. That's all!

So, I don't think that decrease of visitor number is due to redirects.
