BBR Google Analytics Addon

I will no longer support vBulletin because of IB and the agile development, and they are not fixing bugs like they should. Instead they add bloat.

Always helpful to have this early so we don't have to edit templates for this. Nice thinking!

Why did you write "Activate playlist in user profile"?

Do you have the code posted on the site already?

Just get it from the code you already have.

why not plop it into a widget ad spot? Thats what i did and it works

i love it.... at last !

Thank you! installed.

Please add a function to automatically mark threads as 'Top entry pages' and 'Top exit pages'.

This will greatly help identify threads that attract mega traffic and help to reduce bounce rate.

Please explain a little more. I will surely try to implant this if it is worth it.

Finally got into my own account to add another site. Installed. will confirm in a cpl days.

Please go to your top landing pages in Google analytics.

Analytics lists threads like this:
/forum/showthread.php?t=92324

By default you will see the 10 top landing pages. Use the drop down to see more rows.

Top landing pages are important to be aware of, because its possible that another site, DIGG, Reddit, various social bookmarking sites or a certain search engine is sending major traffic to your site. If your staff is aware of it then they can come into action and improve the pages that are receiving such heavy traffic. Otherwise your site may get tens of thousands visitors on a mediocre page. Without improvement those visitors may leave right after they arrive.

The same goes for top exit pages. You can find them here in Google Analytics. If you know what your top exit pages are, then you know where your weak spots are. If thousands of visitors leave on specific pages, then its good to fix it.

Off course its possible for a webmaster to go to Analytics look up the threadID and then find each thread, but that's very tedious and its much better if each moderator can see in a thread if the thread is a top exit page.

So it would be very nice if you could add a function that shows a message or image to moderators (can_moderate) if a thread is a top exit page or a top entry page.

Does this make sense?

I would have to make your forums login to Google with your login to get that information.

Thats weird. The urls should work for any Google Analytics account. You need to first login here: https://www.google.com/analytics/home/ and then you should be able to access your top landing pages and top exit pages.

Or do you mean you do not have an Analytics account?

Then each site that installs this would have to have the site login to automatically mark threads as 'Top entry pages' and 'Top exit pages'. There is no way to get that info with out making the site login to Google.

I would rather not do that.

Yes, a login would be needed. Though that can be done securely. Similar to vbSEO has done the login:
vBSEO LiveStats: On-Demand Search Engine Performance Reports

This doesn't work on my site.. . I just followed the instructions, opened an Google analytics account, registered my site name there, and still waiting for something to happen.. Sorry for being such an idiot but am i missing something here.. :(

From Google:
Once you've installed your tracking code, you should allow up to 24 hours for data to appear in your account.

Not in the template its self. View the source of the page and it should be at the bottom just above the </body tag.

and i was searching for the </body> tag in the template :D Thank you. Yes the codes are present. May be i should just check up with google. Thanks again Brotha...!!

i check google analystic cannot use... nothing happen ?

I installed this when you released it, and I am not getting any stats in google analytics ..

It just says "Waiting for Data"

Anyone having the same issues ?

after 1 week still no results showing.. anyone ??

This code seems to work a lot better:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($vbulletin->options['bbr_google_active']){
$bbrgoogleaccountid = $vbulletin->options['bbr_google_account_id']; 

$bbrgooglecode = '<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push([\'_setAccount\', \''. $bbrgoogleaccountid .'\']);
  _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\';
    (document.getElementsByTagName(\'head\')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName(\'body\')[0]).appendChild(ga);
  })();

</script>';
$BBR_find = '</head>';
$BBR_add_before = "$bbrgooglecode". PHP_EOL;
$output = str_replace($BBR_find,$BBR_add_before.$BBR_find, $output);  
}

It uses the new Asynchronous Tracking script. More information about that is located here: http://code.google.com/apis/analytic...cTracking.html
