tracking

This is mostly of the nature of a curiosity as I'm trying to get familiar with Git. I have looked at the documentation for 'git fetch' but I don't see an obvious explanation for the below. Thanks in advance, and apologies if this is howlingly obvious. 1) From a central repository, say GitHub, I clone a repository named website on each of two machines, HostA and HostB . 2) on HostA , I make a change to a file, say README.txt , and commit it. At this point on HostA , the commits for branches master and origin/master are, as expected different since I haven't pushed yet git show master git show

I have seen the service like spypig.com placing a small image in the email and tracking when it is opened and from where. They track city, country, IP address etc. How is this done? How do we know when the mail is opened? And how is the image generated? How is the IP address detected and how is it possible to know location from it? Basically, in the HTML body of your email, there will be an <img> tag that would look like this : <img src="http://www.yoursite.com/tracker.php?id=123456" alt="" /> When someone reads his mail, with images enabled, the email-client will send a request to tracker.php

Without using any other JS frameworks (dojo, jquery, etc), how would I dynamically load Google Analytic's javascript to be used on a web page for web-tracking? The typical appropriate to dynamically loading JS is to do the following: var gaJs = document.createElement("script"); gaJs.type = "text/javascript"; gaJs.src = "http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js"; document.body.appendChild(gaJs); var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXXXXX"); pageTracker._initData(); pageTracker._trackPageview(); But that doesn't work. The ga.js file isn't loaded in time for _gat._getTracker & _initData

I would like to track an onclick of a button on a page on a site, after a condition is passed checking if a cookie is present. Very simple but which syntax would work best? I have researched the ga and gaq_push prefix of the GA event tracking syntax and (forgive me if I'm wrong) but they seem pretty similar? _gaq.push <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(document).ready(function () { if (jQuery.cookie('entry_winagrand_cookie') !== null) { jQuery('notregisterbtn').on('click', function () { _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'QR_Win_A_Grand', 'Clicked through to Register']); }); } }); </script> ga

Google Adwords offers no code to add to your page to count a conversion if somebody clicks on a link. But as it's Javascript, I am sure there is a way to do this. Here's the code (unaltered) Google gives you to include in the page, that should count as a conversion (most of the time a thank you page): <!-- Google Code for Klick Conversion Page --> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var google_conversion_id = 1062751462; var google_conversion_language = "de"; var google_conversion_format = "1"; var google_conversion_color = "ffffff"; var google_conversion_label = "dKXuCODvugEQ5pnh-gM"; var

I'm having some troubles setting up Google Analytics. I downloaded the Google Analytics Debugging extension for Chrome and if I take a look at the console, the __utm.gif request is never sent. I triple-checked my code, and everything is fine. The debugging version of ga.js is downloaded properly. In fact, I have the exact same problem as this guy that never got an answer ... For the sake of it, here is my tracking code (with UA-########-# properly replaced in my original code, of course) var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-########-#']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

Most services offered online today that claim to "track" e-mails, do so by embedding images in the emails. My questions are: Is this the only way to do it and if not, what are the other methods? Are any of the methods actually fool-proof? Has anybody had any luck with specific software or even an online group? Yes, this is pretty much the only way to do it. Consider that an email is something that is inherently static. The only way to know if someone has "opened" an email is for the email to send some information back to your server. Most email clients these days support HTML emails, which
