Hello guys!

I want to use the Google Analytics service to track several traffic behaviors to my Magento site.

I am using Mozanis, and I found a source where I should insert the Google Analytics account into.
System -> Configuration -> Google API

but there are some other sources reffering to a code I should insert in some of the pages in order to work.

does anyone know a step by step on how to setup google analytics to track visits to a magento site?

best regards and thanks for your help.

Hi ruku,

What you need to do is enabling it in System > Configuration > Google API and enter your account number. Then when you view source code of your site, you will see this code for GA inside:

<!-- BEGIN GOOGLE ANALYTICS CODE -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'YOUR_ACCOUNT_NUMBER']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>
<!-- END GOOGLE ANALYTICS CODE -->
Regards.

One ing I noticed on Google Analytics, is a mesage on admin panel saying this.

“Tracking Not InstalledLast checked: Aug 27, 2012 5:35:09 AM PDT
The Google Analytics tracking code has not been detected on your website’s home page. For Analytics to function, you or your web administrator must add the code to each page of your website.”

do you know, how much would it takes my site to report to google analytics?

thanks.

Hi Saguaros,

what is the best way to see if the code was inserted on pages? I noticed that magento uses index.php instead index.html.
I copy the index.php from root path of my site and check it using some reader, but i was not able to find the code into it.

I also noticed that google analytics still does not receive any tracking from my site.

please, what would yuu think could be happening,

thanks!

Can I see a link to your site please? We can then view the source code and see if the analytics script is inserted.

I have seen problems with that feature working in magento. If it still fails then please feel free to update your ticket with a super admin account, ftp account and your Google Analytics code and we can insert it manually for you.

This occur in previous version of magento, we updated for all magento template in new version, what you guys need to do is insert your GA account number in backend like above 🙂
@phill: glad to see you in forum :p

Hi

Which JA template are you using? If it’s template built with new T3 framework, you can add GA code via template manager in back-end of your website.
