Google Analytics

Google Analytics / Urchin statistics support is built into VPCART.

 

Google Analytics is a service from Google, based on Urchin (a leading analytics company) technology, that allows you to track visitors and their movement patterns through your website.

 

From Google's website:

 

"Learn how visitors interact with your website and identify the navigational bottlenecks that keep them from completing your conversion goals. Find out how profitable your keywords are across search engines and campaigns. Pinpoint where your best customers come from and which markets are most profitable to you. Google Analytics gives you this and more through easy-to-understand visually enhanced reports."

 

Before enabling Google Analytics in your site, you need to set up an account with Google. You can do this at http://www.google.com/analytics/sign_up.html.

Once you have a Google Analytics account, you can set up VPCART to handle this by following these steps:

1.  Login to your Administration and go to the Setup tab.

2.  In the search box, enter the word urchin.

3.  Two entries will be returned:

Xurchinstats

Setting this to Yes turns on the Google Analytics code in your site.

Xurchinacctno

Enter your Google Analytics account number here.

4.  Click the Continue button at the bottom of the page.

Your site is now Google Analytics enabled!
