We will soon be launching the viewsourceconf.org website and would like to use Google Analytics on it. Please enable for this domain, add user ckoehler@mozilla.com and stormy@mozilla.com to it and provide tracking code (unless we can get this directly from GA). Thanks!
Summary: Create Google Analytics site for viewsourceconf.org → Create Google Analytics site for viewsourceconf.com
Adding information requested on this page (which I just found): https://intranet.mozilla.org/Webanalytics/Google_Analytics * Full website address viewsourceconf.org * Explain the goal and use-case of having web analytics on this website. To have metrics about number of visitors over time. * Do you have requirements to track user interactions on your website? For example, how many people have clicked a button on a page, filled out a form, or went through a pre-defined funnel? Not at this stage. We might want something like this once we launch the full conference website in July. * Define the people who should have access to the reports. Christie Koehler <ckoehler@mozilla.com> Alicia Spivak <aspivak@mozilla.com>

Craig: It looks like the GA UA ID in comment 2 got changed a few weeks ago. Can you check out the wordpress template and switch the UA ID? Thanks!

This bug was filed before it was decided to use WordPress for the final site. The temporary static site used the ID above, but the current site uses the standard global ID (UA-36116321-4) we have on all our network blogs (which gets added automatically via a plugin). Unfortunately the way that plugin injects the code into blog pages means we can't really change the ID for any one particular blog, it would be changed for all of them, nor can we opt one site out of using the plugin, at least the way it's currently set up. We could add the View Source ID directly into the View Source theme, but then we end up calling GA twice. If the data being collected under the global ID is sufficient we don't need to do a thing, but it does mean it's not being compared to any historical data from the time when the site was static before relaunching on WordPress. If we add the old ID into the theme we'd regain that history, albeit with a missing window of a few weeks. I should also say I have NO idea how to find analytical data for a specific blog, though I know it's possible. I just can't wrap my head around the GA dashboard.

I created a new profile under blog.mozilla.org web property and created a sub-domain filter for viewsourceconf.org: https://www.google.com/analytics/web/?hl=en#report/visitors-overview/a36116321w64880900p110192957/ All is good now, but we don't have history. Only have from this moment forward, because I had sub-domain filters on all the blog.mozilla.org GA content and viewsourceconf.org is a separate domain.

I'm working on the conference sites for next year, could I please have access to view the analytics reports? Also, it's not clear from the history of this bug which UA ID I should be using - Chris could you please confirm that for me? (or I can get it myself once I have access in GA). Thanks!

Oh! I already was granted access today. I can get the ID from there.
