Hello Forum Members,

To setup your E-Commerce Pro or Standard packages with Google Analytics, simply log in to your Control Panel, and click on the Operations Tab on the top of the Control panel.

In the Operations menu select 'Settings'. In the Settings menu choose the Google Analytics tab.

From this tab simply enter in your Google Tracking code, and select the enable check box if you want this to be enabled. Once set simply press the save button.

Now your site will be fully integrated with Google Analytics!

Joe,

How long does it take for the code to link back to Google?

Hi Jim,

It should be instantaneous from the time it is saved but then again I can't say. Google basically checks the sites every so often to see if the code is on the site and if it finds it, then they will start to record traffic etc. I would say it should take no more than 24 hours.

Hi Joe,

I added my code last night and still no stats. Is my code wrong? When I checked it says no code added. And shows a message with html code to add to the home page. Must I do this?

2002bmwparts,

I have checked your site and because you have added your account number into the MCP correctly, the code for Google Analytics is loading on your site. You do not need to add the code that Google gives you manually. It still may take another day or two for statistics to catch up to live.

Note that if you view source on your page, you will see the code - Give it another day or two and you should see some stats.

If I may make a suggestion. The form where you enter in your Analytics information is confusing for your average user. It states,"Google Analytics Tracking Code" and many users, myself included initially, take that to mean to add the entire code that google provides when setting up your website profile.

I was able to figure it out quickly by using the view page source feature to identify that all you need to enter is your account number but I am quite certain that there are many who would benefit by changing the wording on this page to something like. "Google Analytics Account ID"

I've gotten the code as shown above, but EXACTLY which part gets pasted in on the control panel? If it's the UA # does it include the " marks?

Joe

Hi Joe,

All you need is the UA number so just UA-2105784-1.

Joe

Agreed. That is confusing. I have been trying to enter the entire tracking code provided by google. I have now entered the UA code and google still does not see it on my site. Any suggestions?

Hi aubrey,

When I go to your site and go to View Source in IE and FF you will see the tracking code present. Once it has been entered though note that it can take 24-48 hours before Google actually starts hitting your site.

Joe

Gotcha! Thanks for the info. It is also a little misleading on Google when they have a link to test if code is present. Hopefully it will pick up on it soon.

I couldn't agree more!! Totally fell into this trap...like many others I'm sure.
Please make sthis simple change soon!

Hello ArcoJedi,

The code added to my website is different than what Google represents as the code to add. This is the code Google says to add:

The Google code does not include ssl. When I check status at the Google analytics site, it cannot find the code, even though I see it when I view source. Is the difference in the code going to work?

If you go through the setup for your Google Analytics account and indicate that it is a SECURE site, entering the domain with httpS:// rather than http:// then Google will give you the code with a different URL.

Since your e-commerce site will switch back and forth from non-secure to secure as your customers enter checkout, our software automatically uses the SSL encrypted version. Using the standard version without SSL would cause security error messages on any secure page.

Okay, That worked better (IMG:http://forums.networksolutions.com/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . Google now displays the correct code but still cannot verify the site. Just for grins I tried to navigate to the site "https://www.texascyclechrome.com" and got a certificate error. I will try from a different system this evening and see if the results are better.

pmblair,

Your site does not have a dedicated SSL certificate but instead uses the shared xxxxx.netsolstores.com certificate. You automatically go to this address when you enter checkout or you are logged into the admin panel.

Okay, understood.

I am trying to set this up for my site. It is currently still in development, but I made it online for the test (which failed). One I noticed it that my wite will not do to www.intimatemptations.com, instead I am redirected to http://intimatemptations.com. (no www). What is causing this?
