Google analytics with multiple subdomains

I've got a domain name lets call it example.com, which has multiple subdomains.

  1. blog.example.com
  2. shop.example.com
  3. press.example.com
  4. site.example.com

I'm trying to get these domains to all report properly in google analytics, first I'll share my current configuration then the issue that it caused.

Current configuration:

Under the Tracking Code tab in the admin. What are you tracking? = One domain with multiple subdomains

what are you tracking?

The root domain, example.com's profile is set as follows.

enter image description here

A subdomain, blog.example.com's profile is set as follows.

enter image description here

These subdomain profiles show up all under one account like they should.

enter image description here

I am not using any filters, and I just tried to filter by subdomain and I can't get it to work, no matter what the content and the numbers are all the numbers for example.com.

Problem with this configuration

All of the profiles have the same data, the content from the root domain.

I previously was not using filters now I am one for each subdomain looks like this:

I haven't tried this, but setting up profiles could help as described here: http://www.ericmobley.net/guide-to-tracking-multiple-subdomains-in-google-analytics/

You need to understand the concept of "Accounts" and "Profiles" within Google Analytics. Your account name is "Example site". If you want the data from subdomains in separate profiles, create separate accounts(not separate google accounts). All profiles within the same account will have the same data.

Hint for you to find out account. All profiles within a folder group belong to the same account. Create separate top level folder groups.
