Hi, i just launched an ipad video site at www.ipadvideoseries.com For reasons i don't know, awstats woun't report any stats, so i decided to use google analytics. After adding the codes to my site as instructed, images on the site will not show until i took the codes off. The instruction was to paste the code just after the opening <body> tag, and how i understand that is immediately below the tag. Anyway i have taken the code off and the site is okay now, but i know the importance of google analytics, and would really like to use it for this site. Can someone offer help pease, thanks
As per my exp. in GA we paste the tracking code before closing of the body tag like </body> because it will track your page when whole webpage open on the browser. If attaching template within your page then add tracking code within template before closing body tag.
Well, I checked your website. And you have put Google ads in your site right? Keep the analytics code in the same way you kept the ads.. it will work.. Yes, It will simply Work.
I check your website and there is not present Google Analytics code so please insert them then it will work
Awesome, just downloaded and setup on the server and it looks ok so far. Waiting for google analytics to update.
you just use analytics code in index file or just use it in footer part so it will attached on each and every page
Create account in Google Analytics and you will get one tracking code. Copy paste that tracking code in your site before </body> tags. After that it will take 24 hours to display all the data.
I am using smarty template system. on which file would be best to put analytics code? maybe footer because it is called every time?
All dynamic websites includes footer file to manage footer. You can include google analytics code before closing the body tag</body> in footer file. This will update tracking code at complete website.
Use WASP from iPerception to check whether ur code is working properly or not. Also, the new code Google is providing should be put just opening body tag, not the closed body tag. Check whether ur present code & any other javascript is conflicting or not
Hi, thanks for your contribution. the footer file you talk about is not there in my site. i have checked all the files that came with the site, but it is not there. what else do i do?
Hi There, I don't know about the authenticity of the source from where you have read the instructions for setting up GA codes. Everywhere it has been described that always put the codes at the end, i.e.just before closing body tag</body>. The reason behind putting the code at the end of the page is it confirms the complete loading of the page and actual visit of the web page. Try to use your GA code again.
paste your GA code before </body> tag or paste in footer so you can track each and every page of your website
paste GA code in footer is a better choise. And you should wait some time for Google get your site infors
i put mind in the footer too since its last. so it loads proper first. google still finds it (takes them an hour or so for analystics to start to read no matter where you put it).
Analytics .. it's the urchin code if I recall it well. Go to the ...yoursite/templates/yourtheme/overall_footer.tpl and put the code in the end of the page. That will make it appear in all pages and it's gonna work
