Tracking Traffic as well as E-commerce Transactions on your SuperSite via Google Analytics
Apart from just knowing the number of visitors
reaching your SuperSite/PartnerSite, it is important to also analyze the
traffic visiting your site as it allows you to market your website better. Some
of the clear benefits of such analysis are:
- evaluate your SuperSite/PartnerSite
performance in Search Engines e.g., which keywords people search for in search
engines to reach your site,
- view the visitor's path i.e., the pages the
visitor navigates through,
- ability to categorize your visitors by
geographic location,
- capturing e-commerce transactions through your SuperSite.
Google Analytics is a reporting software which
shows you how people found your site, how they explored it, and how you can
enhance their visitor experience. It provides powerful tracking for websites.
It's one of the most powerful web analytics solutions. It provides in-depth
reports for everyone involved in the running of a website, from the developers
and designers to the marketing and management teams.

following links would help you in signing up and integrating your Google
Analytics tracking code in your SuperSite/PartnerSite:
How do I Integrate Google Analytics
Tracking Code in my SuperSite/PartnerSite?
- Login to your SuperSite/PartnerSite Admin Area.
Click here to
learn how >>
- Under the My Languages SuperSite/PartnerSite, click the
Manage Site button individually besides each Language
SuperSite/PartnerSite.
- Then click the Edit Content button.
- Here click Edit besides the Root.html file at the bottom
of the page.
- Copy and paste the Google Analytics tracking code, in the Your
Content textbox immediately before the
</body> tag.
For example, you need to mention the following code before the
</body> tag:
<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-xxxxxx-x");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}
</script>
IMPORTANT
- xxxxxx-x
represents the Google Analytics Account number and needs to be replaced
with your Account number.
- The tracking code needs to be generated from within your Google
Analytics Control Panel.
- In order to track e-commerce transactions, you need to first enable
e-commerce reporting for your website, from within your Google Analytics
Control Panel.

- Tracking code provided by Google previously -
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js"
type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript">
_uacct="UA-xxxx-x"; urchinTracker(); </script>
- It is recommended that the new code be used since it
supports new features in Analytics. However, you may continue
with the old code if you wish.
- You need to use either the new code or the old one, not
both simultaneously.
- For Support related to Google Analytics, you will have to contact
Google directly.
Click here to reach the Google Analytics Help Center >>
- If you have multiple Language SuperSites/PartnerSites, you would have to
repeat the above mentioned process for each of these.
- Click the Save Changes button.
