Want to use google analytics in iweb. Possible?

i transfered domain to .mac and had to convert site to iweb 08 from dreamweaver. is there anyway to continue using google analytics? google webmaster tools? insert any code? adsense seems to work but google informs me apple will share the profits!
are there any web analytics tools native to iweb?

Shiels,
try the AddGoogleAnalytics automator script from here: <http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/addgoogleanalyticsaction.html>
Works fine for me. Even more, Henrik is very helpful in case of problems.
Regards,
Kai

Using Google Analytics with iWeb site

Is it possible to use Google Analytics with an iWeb site? They have code they want me to put before the </body> tag.... and I can't find that tag. How do I get the code to show in iWeb? Can I insert this with an HTML snippet?
Thanks!

Hello ruralart,
After saving the automator workflow as a Finder Plugin,
mount you iDisk in the finder (ex. click on the iDisk icon in the left pane of a Finder window),
goto the folder iDisk / Web / Sites , select this folder "sites",
control-click on the folder to run the “Add Google Analytics” workflow.
Note : when you have iDisk Sync = ON, you'll see that the folder "web" is an alias so Automator will not work in this situation. You'll have to turn iDisk Sync OFF.
Kind regards,
Leo

Google Analytics breaks iWeb blog comments

Does anybody know a workaround for Google Analytics' breaking of iWeb blog comments? Apparently, from some posts I've read, StatCounter and other traffic stat services break iWeb blog comments, too... so it's apparently an iWeb issue rather than a Google Analytics issue. FWIW, I'm publishing to my MobileMe personal domain. Thanks in advance!

I found a decent way of adding Google Analytics to all pages, without using HTML Snippits (which cause analytics to track those odd page names like widget2_markup.html), that doesn't break MobileMe comments, and doesn't require any post-processing of your iWeb site. Just Publish and go! Open up your iWeb app bundle, and drill down to Contents/Resources/Scripts/Site. Open up the file iWebSite.js in TextEdit (or your favorite text editor), and paste the following at the bottom of the file:
// Begin Google Analytics
gaTrackerId = 'ss-ddddddd-d'; // insert your tracker id here
document.observe('dom:loaded', function() {
var gaJsHost = ( ('https:' == document.location.protocol) ? 'https://ssl.' : 'http://www.') + 'google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var script = new Element('script', { 'src': gaJsHost});
var gaTrack = function() {
if (
!script.readyState
|| /loaded|complete/.test(script.readyState)
var pageTracker = gat.getTracker(gaTrackerId);
pageTracker._trackPageview();
script.observe('load', gaTrack);
script.observe('readystatechange', gaTrack);
document.body.appendChild(script);
// End Google Analytics
Credit to this solution goes to this blog post. I got the idea to find a way of using Google Analytics in Prototype (since iWeb sites use the Prototype JavaScript framework) and found that blog snippit.
And yes, since this is editing the iWeb application bundle, you may need to reapply this hack if/when iWeb is updated. Hopefully though, some enterprising iWeb engineer is reading this and will add proper Google Analytics support to iWeb for us.

I do not like inbox search and want to use google but i cannot find any way to remove inbox--in fact when i search for it to remove you would think it is not there--but it is and i cant get it off. anyone know how?

What you should see on a restart is a black screen followed by a screen with the Apple (at which point you let go of the two buttons). There is no progress bar, just the Apple. The Apple will stay there for 15 seconds or so, then the "Slide to Unlock" screen will redisplay.
But, I don't think the reset will fix it for you. I just tested it, and it comes back on with the zoom still on. The only way to get it to zoom out is the tapping with the 3 fingers.
I said to double-tap....MY BAD! You need to triple-tap with three fingers!
Try that and see if it will display the zoom menu for you, or if it will zoom back out.
Cheers,

Until your recent change, I used Firefox to search the internet. Nows I get a message that says "File not found." I DO NOT want to use google, but that SEEMS to be my only choice. WTF? Tell me how to get back to my Firefox search.

I DO NOT want to use Google for anything on my computer. I do not want to search or browse using google.
After the change Firefox made about a month ago, I can't get my search line browser, whatever the hell it is at the top of my computer screen, to give me anything. The only way I can search the internet is using google. I DO NOT want to use google for anything on my computer.
Need more info?

if Firefox is now searchingbrowsing through Google, I will quit Firefox and find something else. I do not want anything from Google operating on my computer.

Can I use google analytics with an Adobe media server 5 setup?

i have an Adobe media server and were trying to capture some metrics. Wondering whether we can use google analytics?

Hello, I think it always been version specific, & is no longer even included...

But as mentioned there, some older versions are available, but I think you'll have to figure a way to run your version on the older OS.

Using Google Analytics with .Mac/iWeb

Does anybody know how to embed the Google snippet into iWeb pages?

Not so simple.
Doing this will give confusing results as the widget markup is recorded as well.
To avoid this you have to add the code post publishing and this is not very convenient for .Mac users - especially those who need blog comments etc.
If you are using Leopard you can make life a lot easier by using this application...

.... and I'm sure you'll find an apple script to do the same thing.

Google Analytics in iWeb (continued thread from 'Anchor Tabs in iWeb')

Cyclosaurus wrote:
--it's more precise than widget placement (if you add text the y-axis placemnt will change of course screwing up the entire alignment, which is why this royally screwed up without built-in anchor tags)
I'm glad you got it.
I have a precise method for within page anchors but it is too abstract for people here, so I toned it down with javascript scroll function... and yet, people still don't understand it.
The method dynamically set/changes both source and destination of the anchors during the page load. The trick is how to set the anchors in iWeb Inspector.
Yes, I was impressed with the utlization of the array and for loop to create the references for xyz number of links. The code could've been more bloated, but yours was efficient. I have reverence for your code's efficiency and functionality.
That said, as of iweb3... I can build my own widgets to deal with common things like this. I'd built much more complicated widgets than just within page anchors. Have a look at my page:
http://home.cyclosaurus.com/UnderConstruction.html
I've tinkered wtih C, Java, and Javascript enough to appreciate good code. I am not interested in devoting more time to coding (my emphasis is NLP now), so I can't go into more depth with this, but needless to say, I was impressed with how concise, functional (non-buggy), and intuitive your javacript snippet was.
the "_anchors" variable seems to be handled really well and you set it up for cross-browser platforms (// http:/ == Safari , http:/// == EI7 and FF).
I may scrutinze this more to further my understanding of arrays. This is an article I wrote on arrays during a computer science class in college.
In any case. Clean codekid. quality!
Lastly, I have total control over every widget that I add on my page... I don't have to guess which widget# iweb assigned.
Yes, control definitely is the ultimate result to clean, efficient, functional (non-buggy code). I'm working on a set of principles for social, outside, phone, email, physiology, inside, etc that is "Code" for success. It's very complex and needs to have efficiency, functionality, and cleanliness and concision. OKay. cheers.
"Big Brother (aka apple)" HHAHAAH!!!! I love apple! apple computer isn't THAT controlling, but it's true, some things it's hard to have control of with apple (photo booth save folder is the most recent lol). I'll never use microsfot product again (enormous waste of time and moving backwards in life). so long live apple.
GOOGLE ANALYTICS and your STATCOUNTER code. !!!!!!! I'm in the process of needing to set those up on my site. Did you do that efficiently? Do you recommended any widgets??? I have numerous statcounter projects, but need to get it up on my main site. Do you put statcounter html on every page of your site? is that necessary? Do you need to put a google analytics on every page of your site?? Thanks heaps. (this is probably a seperate thread now). Should we start this as a new thread?
I've bookmarked Cyclo's and Toadie's site for thei helpfulness in the future working with iweb.

Should this be another thread? I think so. The subject has now evolved from anchor tags to analytics and other widgets! lol
Do you host your site on mobileme or 3rd-party? I'm currently using godaddy and everyone has their preference. Regardless of which 3rd-party used, the '09 iweb ability to auto publish to ftp server is extremely handy for quickly checking to see if code/updates/changes made in iweb look and behave the way they're supposed to behave in browsers.

I did not mean to be a joke, I'm serious about it.
apple have poked at my site for some of the stuff that I'm doing.
Not just a controlling big brother... but thieves, they'd ripped off my works.
GOOGLE ANALYTICS and your STATCOUNTER code. !!!!!!! I'm in the process of needing to set those up on my site. Did you do that efficiently?
AFAIK I'm the only one (as now) build widgets that *actually work* with iweb3.
So there is nothing for me to compare with, to know if I do efficient works (in iweb3 context).
Do you recommended any widgets???
No. I do look at other widgets to see how they work and how efficient they are...
But I don't use them, I build my own iweb widgets.
I have numerous statcounter projects, but need to get it up on my main site. Do you put statcounter html on every page of your site? is that necessary? Do you need to put a google analytics on every page of your site?? Thanks heaps. (this is probably a seperate thread now).
It's all depend.
As far as I see so far, people (most of iweb users) add GA and Statcounter thru HTML Snippet...
But they don't realize that by doing so the codes don't track correctly.

Google Analytics and iWeb

I'm attempting to insert an html tag generated by Google Analytics into our website that is published using iWeb (the latest version, sorry, I'm no longer on site). Can anyone help me?
Thank you,
Jeff

Since this is your website, the path to the analytics.js file is not correct :
http://www2.hawaii.edu/~kpauker/Pauker_Lab/People.html
The line in the code where it says :
newScript.src = '/js/analytics.js';
should be in order of preference :
newScript.src = '../../../js/analytics.js';
Or :
newScript.src = '/~kpauker/js/analytics.js';
Or :
newScript.src = 'http://www2.hawaii.edu/~kpauker/js/analytics.js';

Google Analytics for iweb 09 site published to MobileMe

At one point I was able to add Google Analytics to my iweb site that's on Mobile Me. That lasted 2 days, till I republished it. I redid it twice, I thought the same way. The last time was yesterday after changing to new iweb 09 software. I published site to local disk (idisk), then went to Automator and added the Google Analytics code (UA-xxxxxxx-x) again and unchecked "Old Style Analytics Code". I saved as a new "Google Analytics plugin". Then I selected website folder on idisk through Finder. Then control-clicked (to run Google Analytics workflow) and chose the "Google Analytics plugin" from menu. After this, I went back to my site in iweb and clicked on "Publish". I assumed that it published the site in idisk, where I had added Google Analytics. But it's been over 24 hours and no results in Google Analytics.
Through Safari, I went to home page of site, then clicked View, then page source and I don't see the Google Analytics code (UA-xxxxxxx-x) shown so it didn't seem to work. I just don't know where I made a mistake. I don't think its because I changed to iweb 09 because I re-did it the same way in iweb 08 (but did not uncheck the "Old Style Analytics Code") and it didn't work then either. Can't figure out how I got it to work for two days when I first tried it.
Please help. Anyone?

It is now easier than ever. You don't need an outside application, or an automator action at all. I used to use Transmit to upload my site, since I first had to export it to a folder, then run the automator action. I again spent some time looking for how to do it for iWeb 09 and found the easiest (and therefore overlooked) way:
1. in iWeb, create an HTML snippet
2. Copy the Google Analytics code and paste into the snippet.
3. Make the box as small as it can go (although this does not really matter since nothing will display on your site)
4. Copy this snippet and go on each page on your site and paste it.
5. Publish your site.
6. It will take a little bit of time for it to show up on the Google Analyics page, so set it up, then walk aawy for a little bit.
This worked for me right away, and I no longer have to export to a folder and use an action of any kind.

Google Analytics for iWeb

Please help.. I am trying to get google analytics (or anything like that) onto my iWeb site so I can see how many people view it and from where...does anyone know how to do this? I tried to google it.. and I just got even more confused... THANKS!!!

Using Google Analytics with Muse site and /blog

Hi there,
I have a simple website that I have put together using Muse: movingpictureTV.com
For the site I have added analytics code to pick up figures etc.
The sites Wordpress blog is found at movingpictureTV.com/blog
Does this mean I need separate tracking code to pick up data for the blog or will the code used on the main site URL pick up the blog traffic too?
Many thanks for your help,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Usually, when google spiders visit your site, it index all the hard coded links on the home page. However, you can add analytics code to every page. It will expedite the indexing of the pages.

Aish

Web searches are being done using yahoo and not google. I tried the fixes given but they don't work. I want to use Google by default

only by clicking on mozilla firefox start page can i get a google search. the initial screen always uses yahoo

Thanks Nubz
I will review further an correct myself.
The last reads the way I meant as in physically getting to see it.
I am not sure you are reading it the same way.
As a consequence your suggestion seems a bit ambiguous to my mind.
Thanks for the input. I will read a digest context a bit more and see if I can rephrase.

I can't get rid of Ask as my search engine in upper right corner. I remove it and it comes right back when I open Firefox again. I want to use Google.

I have removed some of the other search engines....ie, Bing, eBay, etc and they stay gone. But Ask comes back again and again!!
