About
This allows you to utilize Google Analytics with some advanced options
Installation
Install the product-digitalpoint_analytics.xml product under AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product
Go to AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> Digital Point Better Analytics to set your Google Analytics Profile ID.
Important - In order for site search tracking to work, log into your Google Analytics account and edit your site profile. On the Profile Settings tab, set the Site Search Settings to track, with the query parameter set to "keywords" (without quotes).
Remove any other Google Analytics code you may already have.
Notes
Tracks across multiple sub-domains (in case your site is setup as such).
Utilizes Page Speed tracking/reporting.
Tracks social interactions for Facebook, Twitter and Google +1 buttons if you have them on your site.
Tracks site search (what people are searching for within your own site).
Requires no template edits or files to upload.
External JavaScript is compressed and utilizes Cache-Control headers to eliminate HTTP requests.
Can you give me the URL where you have it installed by chance? Just want to double check that it's working since sigh said it's not for him.
Could have been user-error here, but we got too busy to stay on it (and lost data for a couple days). We'll check into it again soon and let you know. Considering the source of the mod, I'm sure it's just something on our end.
There isn't a lot that can be mucked up. The only setting is your analytics tracking ID. The only thing I can think of would be if your site has fatal JavaScript errors from something else (if JS errors, all other JS on the page halts).

It shows as being tracked for me... it makes the expected call back to Google's servers for tracking. Are you sure you have your Google Analytics ID right?
Some of the network traffic while on your site... notably it gets the misc.php (the page this addon uses), then it pulls the normal ga.js tracking GS from Google, and then hits _utm.gif (which is the actual tracking call).
Thanks for the swift response.
Any chance you could explain what the stripping does and how I would choose? I'm technical enough to get your sphinx implementation running on my site (yesterday, thanks), but don't understand what these query parameters are.
Your above answer and any extras you might reply to this post would be useful additions to the install instructions I think even if not entirely necessary
