HELP: google analytics

Hi, everybody,

I did a website for our local occupy group, and Now I am curious if anybody used it. I rummaged around in the helpfiles until I found a third party instruction set for how to set up analytics for a site, I opened a profile and pasted the little number into my site, and sat back to await my report. Zilch. Can anybody send me a screen shot of a report so I can see what I am missing? It looks like I am getting report page, but there is no data for google to put on it. I has my name and email message and the magic number, just not dat. Any thoughts?

Nick,

Did you go to the GA website and follow all the instructions?

Did you first set up an account and a profile?

Once you have a GA account and profile, you have to generate the correct Java script tracking code.
To find out how to generate the tracking code, go here on the GA website:
Under the Support tab, under Getting Started, there is an "Install tracking code" link that tells you how to generate the Java script.

Once you have the tracking code, you have to paste it into the bottom of the header of every HTML page on your site.

This is all explained at the GA website link above.

Nick, I have it working for one of my sites, so feel free to call on me to try to help you out if you wish.

HTH,
Grant

Re: HELP: google analytics

Thanks, Grant. I guess I did all that , cuz it’s now working. Just asking you guys seemed to do the trick. I waited the requisite 24 hours … in fact I waited 72! … but just the possibility of embarrassment before the high court of FRIAM seems to have scared it into action.

On thing that helped me was a third party help site that I found that told me that I didn’t have to copy any script into the site, just the number. So that is all I did.

Take care,

Nick

"http://statcounter.com" is also quite good and you don't get the
obvious feeling that our tiny websites are contributing to Google's
bloated revenue stream.
