Add a Tracker

From PhotoblogWiki

So you want to add a tracker to your Photoblog? Well great idea!

We will track all hits across all your user pages on the site. We use Google Analytics for our logging and we are extending that capability to our users. So follow the simple steps below to add in logging to your Photoblog.

[edit] Sign up with Google Analytics

So the first thing you want to do is visit the website below to sign up for an account

 http://www.google.com/analytics/

So when you click on the above link you will see the following page.

If you don't have a Google account click on the Sign Up Now link. If you have an account you can click on the Access Analytics link and login.

Once you have logged into Analytics you will see the following page.

Click on the Sign up button and you will see the following.

You will fill out our Photoblog URL. You can also set your country and timezone. Click on Continue and you will see the following.

Set up your analytics account. Then click on Continue.

You must agree to Google's terms of service. Once you do you will see the following.

This is your Google Analytics ID circled in red. You must save this ID to use with Photoblog. So once you have that ID recorded, click on Continue and your Analytics account is all setup and ready to use.

[edit] Setup Analytics with Photoblog

So once you have your ID visit the following URL

 http://www.photoblog.com/account/tracking/

Insert your ID there and click on Save and you are ready to have your blog tracked by Analytics.

[edit] Some Problems

I put in my ID and viewed my blog a few times but Analytics says the tracker isn't installed

Well this is because it can take up to 24 hours for Google to know the tracker is in place. So give it at least 24 hours and then check again. Google should report it is tracking data for your Photoblog.
