Google Analytics

Tracking the performance of your site has never been easier. With HandsOn Connect you can use Google Analytics natively to track all your Web site stats.

Sign up for an account at Google Analytics.

If you have not already done so for other websites you manage, visit www.googleanalytics.com and set up an Account.    They will walk you through the process.

Add a new profile in Google Analytics and enter the domain or full URL for the site you want to track.

They will ask you the main page of the URL you are tracking.  If you are doing this before GOLIVE, you may be using a temporary URL for your public site.  Once you go live, you can always go back in and create a new Website to follow by creating a new Profile with your 'live" URL.  When you finish this process, Google Analytics will give you a  code that you have to put in your website on every page.
