Google Analytics - How do I add tracking code to e pages?

How do I add the tracking code for Google analytics easily to my e pages.  Or is there another analytics package that could give me a easy way to track bounces and meaningful traffic info for my site.

 

Please bear in mind I am not that clued up on anything but the basics.

 

Thanks

Hi,

I justed added the following to a question from Spency - hope it helps...

 

 

  1. Google Analytics.  We basically copied the Google Analytic HTML code and paste it at the bottom of each page.  However, this needs to be done a particular way.  If you are in Preview of a page and you click and highlight the last Text area you see on the pageyou will see "edit HTML" option in the EDIT box (in between the FILE and FONT options boxes).  Click on edit HTML and it open the HTML for the text box....go to the bottom and paste the Google Code.
  2. Google Analytics 2.  if you are on a page such as Promotional Products which just list products, then from teh Preview mode click Datasheet View (which will be in the box marked Commands) this will open up the Datasheet.  All we did was then paste the Analytics code into the Long Description box.  Do NOT open the box by clicking EDIT TEXT button, just paste it into the box - if you SAVE and then click on EDIT TEXT button, you will find there is nothing in the box - tis purely to enter text (without having to code the HTML tags etc.)

At this moment in time there is the eTracker service including in the eShop, I believe I have seen on another post from the eShopTeam that this Google Analytics is on it's way in the next few months.

 

You could put the GA code in the header under the 'Advanced Settings' tab though I'm not sure how well it works as it should be at the bottom of the page in the code.
