Google Analytics

I've added Google Analytics to this blog.

It takes about 12 hours to start seeing data (Sitemeter is instantaneous).

I'll showcase the data I am getting once I get some to show.

Fred,

How did you add the GA code in Typepad? The only way I'm aware of is via Typelists and that doesn't seem to work.

Thanks.

That's what I did as well, Michael. Google says my code is installed properly but no stats are showing up yet some 36 hours after I installed them. Word is the service hasn't started showing stats yet for anyone. I would be interested to hear Fred's experience.

i put it into my templates and nothing yet

Looks like we need to add it to the templates and not the Typelists, Steve. Another item to add to your excellent "Ten Blogging Hacks" list.

It really slows down your page-load dramatically Fred. I just started using mybloglog - highly recommended.

sorry Fred - false alarm - seems back to normal & I can see the service is still running - maybe I was just getting my "daily Fred" at the same time as everyone else.

So what is Google up to with this? I am having a hard time buying the party line that they are giving it away to make the internet a better place. Or the simple take that it is just to solve some of the complaining of their advertisers. There are some ideas crawling around in the back of my head squealing that this might be a huge move that I am missing. Why open it beyond adwords-sense users?

Posted by: Zachery Coelius | Nov 15, 2005 7:01:31 PM

It's only free to non-adwords users who get fewer than 5 MM page views per month. So perhaps Google's hoping to get small- to medium-sized websites hooked on Urchin for free so that as soon as they hit 5 MM PVs, they will likely launch AdWords campaigns.
