google analytics
Hello
In order to get the best analytics (most accurate or best over-all report), do I need to apply the analytics code to all pages with in the website or just the home page?? Any information on this would be very very helpful. Please advise.
Thank you!!

Re: google analytics
All that should be required is to add your analytics code into your template's index.php file. I usually add my Google code just above the last closing </body> tag.

Re: google analytics
You can also use Google analytics extension in which you just need to add your analytics property ID and rest will be done by extension itself. According to Google analytics update I suggest you to use the universal google analytics for your website as it is very much helpful to track events and goals.

Re: google analytics
The Analytics snippet is a small piece of JavaScript code that you paste into your pages. It activates Google Analytics tracking by inserting ga.js into the page.

Re: google analytics
It depends which type of your website is. If you have a static website then you need to apply the analytic code to all pages. Nowadays, every new website is coming with dynamic platform, so there is no need to paste analytic code to all pages. Just put analytic code in header page anywhere before <body> or just use Google Analytic ID if your CMS system has option to insert it. Thanksdavidjamalpur wrote:Hello

Re: google analytics
Google Analytics will only track the pages with the code - so yes it should be on every page. The beauty of a CMS like Joomla is that this is done easily.
I just edit the index.php file for my template. I add the Google script right before the </head> tag. It loads into every single page, as it should. Simple as that. No extension to worry about updating, conflicts, etc.
If you do update your Template you need to re-add this <script> code.

Re: google analytics
Google analytic is basically used to track the performance of the page/website. It all depends upon you whether you want to track particular page or the whole website. In latest trend we will put the code</head>instead of </body>

Re: google analytics
Google says to place it in the <head></head> section.
per https://support.google.com/analytics/an ... 8080?hl=en"Paste your snippet (unaltered, in it’s entirety) into every web page you want to track. Paste it immediately before the closing </head> tag."

Re: google analytics
Yes, you have to paste it on every page of the website. Otherwise you will be miss most of the data from Google. For e.g Top Landing Pages, Visitors Flow, Goals Optimization etc.
