Question

i call trackpageview within the onstatechange callback (which i checked is being called), because in an all-ajax site, the states are the pages.

History.Adapter.bind(window, 'statechange', function() {
_gaq.push([ '_trackPageview', History.getState().url ]); 
}

i also have the necessary snippet in the (again, which is only ever called once, because this site is all-ajax).

<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-31081343-1']);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

  (function() { ... })();

</script>

however, i do not see these pageviews on my google analytics account, neither in ‘standard reporting’ nor in the ‘realtime’.

why aren’t these pageviews being tracked?

Answer 1

(I assume you use History.js)

History.getState().url return the complete URL, begining with the protocol (http://…).

When using pageURL parameter with _trackPageview, you must use a beginning slash (/) to indicate the page URL (cf doc). Otherwise the request will not be taken into account by Google Analytics.
