Thursday November 16, 2006 Dave's Bit Bucket
Dave Walker's jottings - mostly pertaining to security
Thursday November 16, 2006 For bloggers who want to know where their hits are coming from, you'd have to go a very long way to beat what Google Analytics gives you, for free.
Signing-up for the service is very straightforward; I did it the day before yesterday, and about the only trick a blogs.sun.com-based blogger needs to know is how to embed the Analytics script within your page:
- when you're logged-into blogs.sun.com at the point where you'd normally be editing a blog entry or creating a new one, go to "Preferences" (next to "Create & Edit" in the top bar)
- from here, go to the "Template" entry in the bar underneath
- click the Edit icon for the "Weblog" template
- paste the Analytics script into the template, out of the way of any major formatting stuff
- save
It's straightforward to verify from within Analytics that the script is installed and working; don't worry that you don't see any stats for a few hours though, it can apparently take up to 24 hours to get something which can be reported on (my own experience is that all was working and giving interesting information 12 hours after install).
