Integrated Google Analytics

[Simon Philp]

Would imagine 99% of people use Google analytics. There is an api

http://code.google.com/intl/en-US/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/gdataDeveloperGuide.html

An idea would be to pull this information into the dashboard?
Thoughts :S

I dont think you will manage to get the same level of information by reimplementing the api in the dashboard. So that doesnt sound very useful.
But dragging some data and display well formatted blog-oriented data could be interesting maybe?
There are probably some data that don't appear directly in the analytics stats but that could be extracted and displayed nicely in the dashboard.
some sort of very blog oriented stats?

I'm no expert with analytics, neither is my blog very active, but I'm just trying to give useful thoughts / opinions

Hi Stéphane,
Thanks for your feedback. This was just another idea that went through
my head. Having other peoples take on it is welcomed :)

I wouldn't want to reproduce Google Analytics in Subtext. Might as well link to the analytics page.

However, I feel there is data in analytics that might be interesting to Subtext users that is sort of buried. Analytics doesn't understand the structure of a Subtext blog. So there may be ways in which we can expose interesting information via this API.

For example, if I want stats for an older specific blog post, getting to that information via Google Analytics takes a bit of work. Would be nice to make that more accessible via Subtext.

Right now, in the Admin section, you can click on a link to view referrals to a blog post. Would be nice to change that link to "Stats" instead, and go to a page where we show not only referrals that we track, but other information that Google Analytics knows about that blog post.

Would be great to have you experiment with this and see what we might be able to do. We should do a short write-up of what data we can show and maybe do this work in a branch.

Yes that's what I was talking about.

This way it makes sense :).
