Google analytics

Good Day

I have followed Mike Lane's tutorial on how to place "Google Analytics into your smug mug site. I was fine right up to the end, what does he when he says:

"I have redacted my tracking code. Make sure yours is in there. This is the most important part of this process."

thanks shane

Hi Shane, it means you paste YOUR code from google analytics, not Mike's

Yeah, that should be it. Just copy and paste everything they say on the Google site. Notice how it has the ua account info. That's what Mike took out, because he didn't want visitors to your site showing up as hits on his Google stats. Ha!

Little confused here Steve, isn't that the point of Google Analytics? So, should I also take out this UA tag? If so how much of the tag, please be specfic.

thanks shane

No, no! You're right! That IS the point of Google Analytics, and you should take out Mike's UA tag and use your own that Google provided to you. Mike blanked his info out just to avoid that possibility, which is all he meant by that statement. You're on the right track. That UA code is yours specifically and should be used within the block of code they provided. Let me know when you're up and running and I'll be happy to visit the page to make sure hits are registering correctly.

I am not sure what page I should be sending you. Maybe this one:

https://www.google.com/analytics/hom...20&scid=742910

Or

www.wildearthilluminations.com

thanks shane

Shane, he can't see YOUR google analytics reports, that's private data just for you.

You got the code installed just fine.

I just tried to add Google Analytics and when I got to the tab that says "Organize & Customize" there was no "customize" link. Do I need SmugMug Pro to get this?
