Question for all game owners

[blue]

Hey all, question for everyone using the Google Analytics. On your game, where do you put the Analytics? Login? Index? Where all do you put it? Im asking because i have always just posted it on the login.php page only. But i want to know if it would help my reports to put it on all the pages?

Thanks for looking.

I've stopped using google <censored>ytics so can't help much here

But what I recall was that the google <censored>ytics script had to be posted on ALL your pages, so best was just putting it in your footer.

ytics is google a n a l y t i c s

Re: Question for all game owners

We drop the two SCRIPT tags in just above the closing body tag. Since we're using smarty templates, and have a base page everything derives from, these only appear once in the code, but on every page of the site, so we get a fairly in-depth view of whats going on.

Its best to put it in footer, you get more complete results as it goes on every page.

Re: Question for all game owners

Can anyone tell me how to add this to my gamesite? I mean what do I put in what folder? Sorry, I'm a newb, I can edit and rewrite some script but that's about it.

Is this what I paste in?

<script type="text/javascript">

var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");

document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));

</script>

<script type="text/javascript">

try {

var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-8013287-1");

pageTracker._trackPageview();

} catch(err) {}</script>

Re: Question for all game owners

Read the good FAQ file mate, all you have to do is copy paste that code in your site.

Usually, the footer, and on EVERY page, so you can track all user actions.
