Google Analytics and .rf Domains

While in GA it is impossible to create a site profile on the domain ".".



The system does not accept it either in unicode (“domain.rf” - invalid characters in the domain name) or in punycode (“xn - d1acufc.xn - p1ai” is the wrong first-level domain).



In forums, therefore, the most popular advice is to switch to using Yandex. Metrics.

My advice would be different:



Create a profile in Google Analytics for a non-existing, but valid domain.

Counter code set on your ".rf" site.



In the future, the profile settings can be changed by specifying the correct domain name.
