Hi all, I'm interested in figuring out google analytics to learn more about web-traffic to my pixelpost. I just discovered the analytics website, and it looks pretty cool, so I'd love to figure this out!

Here are a few links I found that seem relevant to pixelpost:

Google Analytics (http://www.google.com/analytics/)
PHP Support for Analytics (https://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=44723&query=php&topic=&type=)


I'm having trouble figuring out where the "analyticstracking.php" file belongs on my remote server. Also, if I applied the appropriate code to the ALL the template html files. I hope this isn't too confusing, thanks for any help -- I've always had good experiences with this forum.

hi

place the urchin code in your image_template.html just before end of the <body> tag. it works fine with my blog.

keep in mind that the analytics data is always one day old. what you see today, happened yesterday. they are not live data.

hope this helps

Oh great, I guess I was making this more difficult than it really is -- It looks like it was successfully installed after I placed the code in the right file. Thanks for your help.

I did not know that the data is not live -- but that doesn't concern me too much. Analytics seems like a great resource to learn more about the traffic that goes through my photoblog.

Thanks again for your help.
