HowTo: Add Google Analytics tracking to your Wordpress blog

Hi folks !

Maybe some of you guys are running a little Wordpress blog, like this one, too.
And maybe you also wondered, if it ist possible to integrate the sweeeet website-traffic analyzing and reporting service by google, called “Google Analytics” into your blog.

Easy !

Just download the “Ultimate Google Analytics” plugin-package from спални комплектиthe Wordpress plugins page and unzip it to th plugins directory in your wordpress installation. Let’s try it…

cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ultimate-google-analytics.zip
cd /var/www/blog.chaoz.org/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
unzip /tmp/ultimate-google-analytics.zip

Now you just have to activate the plugin in your wordpress plugins section and you will get a new menu-item in your optins menu name “Ultimate GA”. There you have to add your google-analytics ID which looks somewhat like “UA-1234567-8″. Look it up in the javascript snippet which is shown in your google analytics account for the domain-profile in question.
I just sticked to the default options which where already set quite reasonably, I guess.

Done !

That’s right. You’re finished. Pretty easy, eh?
Now, you’ll just have to be patient and wait for the first reports to show up in your google-analytics account after some hours and visits.

cheers

~ Gerrit
