Tracking Redirects in Google Analytics

We have purchased a couple of URLs that basically just redirect to our main page. Is there a way to track the webpage redirects? I looked at the page at Google Analytics. and it doesn;t really say, in a practical way what to do. I also read a post that says to place an index.html on each dummy URL with the Google analytics code. Does this mean that I need to get a new account for the new page? I'm kind of lost, here

It depends on the type of redirect. If it's a 301, you should be able to see the data in the 'All Referrals' report under the Acquisition section.

If it's a 302, then you may need to do some more work. I wouldn't recommend the index.html route. Instead you may want to work with your IT staff to place in a parameter in the redirect rule so that instead of domainX.com redirecting to domainY.com/, it instead redirects to domainY.com/?src=domainX.com
