"Hi Terry,
I would start with removing one script in the hr.nku.edu and artscience.nku.edu site. You only need to include the analytics script once. You can push to multiple accounts in the same call:
_gaq.push(…"
"A few problems with your implementation (taken from view-source:http://hr.nku.edu/)
You need to set the same variables on both trackers. For example, if you use _setDomainName on one, it has to be used on the other as well.
Only load the ga.js file…"
Terry Boehmker posted a discussionGoogle Analytics conglomerate tracking
Our university is getting ready to transfer all of our websites to a new content management system. This will give us a opportunity to set up a Google Analytics conglomerate account that can track all the websites and give us numbers on total traffic across the CMS. I've been experimenting with a conglomerate tracking account in our present CMS by adding a secondset of Google tracker code with a different profile number to our multiple sites / sub-domains.I started by adding the second set of…See More
"While not the same level as Google analytics we use AWStats to aggregate all our sites into a single report. I've yet to find anything that really does a better job."

"There is a tool called GA Data Grabber that might work. You'd still have to export the different profiles, but this would create a comprehensive report.
It might be time to create a new profile in GA and redo your scripts. With a CMS,…"
"While there's no straightforward way to combine past data, you can create a conglomerate tracker for all your GA profiles. You basically just add a second set of the Google tracker code with a different profile number, and use that same profile…"
"Hi Terry,
Unfortunately I don't think you can combine data across multiple accounts within GA, you could jury rig something in excel etc, outside of GA, but I don't think you can within.
I've got GA set up across our institution…"
Terry Boehmker posted a discussionGoogle Analytics for university websites
Our university web team has created more than 100 websites for academic and administrative departments using a content management system. Each website has its own separate Google Analytics account to monitor the total number of visitors and gauge what pages within that website draw the most interest. Does anyone know if there's a way to set up a Google Analytics account that will combine all of the campus websites into one report that will give us a complete picture of visitors to…See More
