809115 - Implement Google Analytics on https://developer.mozilla.org

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

We need the general suite of GA metrics (traffic, locales,languages, referring pages) - as we  work on the site redesign we will likely add additional things we want to track - Jean-Yves can add additional needs to this bug if i've missed something.

MDN team (Ali Spivak, Jean-Yves Perrier, Luke Crouch) should have access to the reports.

Do you want the code now to add out-of-the-box metrics or do you want to wait for the MDN redesign to be further along?

Comment 4

[Luke Crouch [:groovecoder]]

I vote for now so we can more easily see before/after metrics.

Comment 5

Here is the code that should be placed before the </head> in the MDN template:

<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-36116321-5']);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();

</script>

Google has been emailed to enable this account for premium. I've added this to the Mozilla "big websites" account because the change of this site having multiple profiles is pretty high.

Premium has been enabled for this account.

I've added everyone in the CC field with @mozilla.com emails to have access to this profile. You must log into Google Analytics with your @mozilla.com email. If you cannot gain access, you must file a mozilla.service-now.com request under "other user requests" to have your Google Apps password reset.

Ali: Will you need an export of historical MDN Webtrends data before the legacy WT service is disabled on March 21st?

Also, do you have any need for WT on the site now? Since it has both GA and WT on the site, I would assume you have no need to keep WT on it any longer.

Ali: ^^

Ali is on PTO for the next couple of days. I will forward this to her when she gets back.

I'd love to get an export of the historical data from Webtrends so we can crunch some of the numbers if needed.

We no longer need the WT code on the pages and it would be great to make it gone.

Just so you know, it is not raw logs or raw data. Basically, whatever you see in Webtrends now at an aggregate level is included in the CSV. If the reports in WT are useful now, you or anyone else can export them. You just go up to the top right of any report to export a CSV. You have to do this on a report-by-report basis and there is no master location for exporting.

Openjck/Ali: Do you want to do some exports yourself and see if the data is useful? You will probably want to change the time frame to be the past year.
