I created profiles in GA to track individual urls as opposed to entire directories. I know it takes a while before it properly filters everything but I'm not sure if this will work. Has anyone done this or know the proper way?

What is your goal actually?

I want to be able to create a profile for a each product category on my site. Currently all product pages have the same url structure but have different "cat" id numbers. I want a profile for each "cat number"
I have a dynamic product page that looks something like this /products/view.php?cat=1&scat=3
So I attempted to create profiles for product category 1 by selecting pages that begin with /products/view.php?cat=1&scat=
So far it's collecting data from non-related pages

When creating the profile include a filter to Include $/products/view.php?cat=1(.*)

Oops, sorry, just realised I made a mistake, should be ^/products/view.php?cat=1(.*)

I tried adding the caret it warned me it was invalid. Should I put it in as a custom filter?
