Use Google Analytics and DotNetNuke? Then you need this module!
Stop messing around inserting bits of script into your skin files, and fiddling about with making small changes. Get this totally free module and do it once, and do it properly!
This simple, lightweight module does away with the messy business of inserting the Google Analytics (GA) script in the right place on the page and allows quick integration of a DotNetNuke portal website with Google Analytics.
It installs as a standard DotNetNuke module, then by updating the settings with your Google Account Id, the site will immediately start reporting back to Google.
Check out these great features
- You can restrict users of a certain role not to report usage to GA. This helps to not skew the page views or visitors when you are spending a lot of time editing your site in the Admin or Host accounts.
- You can restrict the reporting when the site is on a particular installation (such as a staging or development server). The script is generated, but the actual call to GA is commented out, so you can inspect the script to check it is correct, without sending out unnecessary calls to GA
- You can manually change the GA timeout value, so that you can fine-tune the bounce rate to suit the nature of visitors on your site.
- You can turn on 'external links' tracking, so that your GA account will show just how many visitors went off to visit the externally linked sites from your website.
- You can track users of a particular user group (like registered users) as a separate segment in GA.
The Google Analytics module uses the 'new' GA.js script, instead of the old 'urchin.js' script, so all of the latest features are supported.
