Generic subdomains with Analytics

[Hyra]

Hey hey,

So I'm running a community website that generates user subdomains.
E.g. user.mydomain.com

Now, in Google Analytics I see these subdomains are treated as "referring sites". Someone visits one user, then another, and it sees it as referring traffic.

Makes sense, in a way, but how can i fix this?

I've been googling and searching here, but can't quite find it out. The only answers I found are for people who are actually running different sites on those subdomains, which didn't quite translate to a sollution for me.

I should mention, there's also some static predefined subdomains, such as browse.mydomain.com. Would that cause extra trouble?

Hope someone can point me into the right direction

A little bump i'm afraid.

With an excuse: I was thinking .. if google treats the subdomains as seperate "sites" wouldn't it be wiser not to use them? All the (user)content is on the dynamic subdomains, being part of the site itself.

Bad practice?

Well It will surely show the referring site as the site where the user was before landing on to this site. So if this subdomain thing is there then yes it will show the subdomain as referrer. If you can give more info like what the real problem is then there might be a solution. I am not understanding what the real problem is.
