809122 - Implement Google Analytics on https://metrics.mozilla.com/protected/headline/

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: Web Analytics, task)

Description

[Ali Almossawi]

Full website address: https://metrics.mozilla.com/protected/headline/

*Explain the goal and use-case of having web analytics on this website.

This is a new dashboard that the Metrics Team is rolling out; we'll need to see how its usage fares against our existing dashboards, which are written using a different technology stack.

*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?

Yes, that would be useful.
   
*Define the people who should have access to the reports.

Thanks,
Ali

Ali: Can I just create a web property and profile for metrics.mozilla.com and then you can create advanced segments or drill-down to any directory off of the root domain to view stats?

Sure, thanks.

Here are the instructions for implementing Google Analytics on our website.

For more information, see http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/asyncTracking.html

Copy the following code, then paste it onto every page you want to track immediately before the closing </head> tag

<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-35433268-14']);
  _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>

Comment 7

Thanks.

Comment 8

[Ali Almossawi]

Chris, Do I need to do anything else to start seeing data?

Comment 9

[Chris More [:cmore]]

I talked to Google and they said if we are seeing the data in the real time reports, it should show up in standard. They said to wait till tomorrow and check again.

I'm seeing data now in the standard reports, but it is very little. Is that accurate?

Comment 12

[Ali Almossawi]

Yes, since the page hasn't gone live yet, but will this week.

Thanks!

Comment 13

[Chris More [:cmore]]

Is this live and can you view the reports?

Comment 14

[Ali Almossawi]

Yes, thanks.

We've been blocked by PR for about 3 weeks hence the delay in rolling this out.  It should start showing up on the monitors throughout the offices during the coming week or two.

Comment 15

[Chris More [:cmore]]

Are we unblocked on this?

Comment 16

[Ali Almossawi]

All's good, thanks Chris.

Comment 17

[Chris More [:cmore]]

Can we close this out then? :)

Comment 18

[Ali Almossawi]

Yes!
