Weekend Projects: Quantifying Traffic

Posted on March 15th, 2008

Weekend Project

Now that we have generated some traffic to our site by posting our site to forums for review it is time to quantify that traffic. Our hosting does include awstats, webalizer and analog stats but these programs are all fairly average for showing stats. This week we will focus on adding Google Analytics to our site.

Google Analytics is a free and powerful stats software. To use Google Analytics you need to sign-up for an account. Once you have done that they will provide you with code to put in to your page. To do add the code to your site you can use file manager to edit each page and paste the code at the bottom of  your pages and save them.

Once all your pages have the code in them you can begin to view your detailed stats.

For those who have a blog, instead of pasting the code into each page you can use the Google Analytics WordPress plugin.

If you get stuck let me know in the comments.
