web-analytics

I have a site affiliated with a university and we want to link to another site that has a certain teaching program. How can we track the number of times this link has been clicked from within our website? I would use jquery and/or ajax to touch a page in the background (ajax) that counts hits whenever a link is clicked and then proceed to allow the link do what it does. You can use web analytics tools such as Google Analytics or commercial software such as WebTrends. Instead of directly providing the external link, link to a page on your own site that redirects to the link, and it will be

I have an issue with Google Analytics Event Tracking that is only apparent on Chrome and no other browser. I have the following Google Analytics Tracking Code firing on my site for a click on an anchor link: _gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Basket Remove', product_name, product_code, product_price, false]); _gaq.push(['rollup._trackEvent', 'Basket Remove', product_name, product_code, product_price, false]); Using a Web Proxy tool I can see that the first one is firing, but the second one is not. This appears to be the case for a number of _trackEvent clicks where the click is a link to another page,

I am setting up a Custom Dimension in my Google Analytics Tracking Code, however I am seeing a strange error in the Chrome Console with the Google Analytics Debugger switched on. This is my code which is fired on every page. I am reporting to a regional account as well as a global/rollup account and I have created two trackers to achieve this. <script> (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){ (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o), m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m) })(window

When a user signs up on my site I want to be able to store whether or not they came to my site via an Adwords campaign. I know google uses javascript to track conversions based on a cookie that is created on the users machine. Is there a way I can check this cookie so I can store the source against the user account? You're correct--you can read this data from the cookies. To configure the tracking: connect your adwords and GA accounts: in your AdWords account, go to My Account > Account Preferences, click the "edit" link next to Tracking then select the box that says "Destination URL Auto

I need a hit counter for my various pages, but I can't use google analytics (my client isn't ready for cloud computing) and I can't use anything that requires access to the IIS logs (the server administrator owns them and doesn't want to give them up) What resources are there for user usage tracking for what is essentially a hosted ASP.NET account? I'm running an ASP.NET application on IIS 6. I've turned on health monitoring, but so far that is just creating log data with no analytics. I recently wrote up a list of (mostly) free GA alternatives. http://regulargeek.com/2010/05/29/25-free-google
