Google Analytics for Foodclub?

Postby christiancoop » Wed Oct 16, 2013 12:05 pm

Is there any way to insert a Google Analytics tracking script into all the pages of my Foodclub site (and all linked account's pages)?

That is just a javascript include file, right?

No, I don't think you can do this yourself right now. You can use the extraDivs (on every page, empty by default) to add content via CSS. But that cannot be used to add HTML, just text using the CSS content: directive.

What kind of info are you looking to get from Google Analytics?

Yep,
<script>
blah blah google code blah
</script>

I use GA for my other sites so I am just used to checking my dashboard there regualrly to compare statistics. GA gives great info on how long people stayed on your site or even a single page, what cities they came from, what browsers they were using, etc. Typical site metrics. Their UI is very easy to use and their scripts work on any site, so it has become a very popular tool.

Is it free? If free, do you happen to know their terms of use, and how they can use the data?

I think giving Google access to Foodclub data would not be popular with most clubs, but it would be easy enough to allow some clubs to do it. Actually, you could do it right now but it would only work on one page: Source home. This is because you can add generic HTML via the Source home content in Source settings.

So all it would require is allowing generic HTML added to every page.

If a <script> tag can be used on the Source Home then that is all I need. Thanks for confirming.

Yes, it is free. Their terms are typical google, good and bad.
