Plans for Analytics?

[Peter Knapp]

Dear Developers,  

Are there any plans for incorporating analytics into the page(s) of Webonary? I would like to know, how many people are actually using the website, where are they located, is the download option ever being used, which pages are looked at?  This could help prioritize our work.  

Peter

Dear Peter,

It is possible to get analytics for your site for most of the information you mention. You need to create an account at https://analytics.google.com/ and set up what Google calls a property for your website. A tag ID will be assigned to the property. Please email this to webo...@sil.org with the dictionary name and we will add it to Webonary so that data is sent to your account.

I'm not sure if the downloads are recorded but I haven't explored Google Analytics in depth.

This page will help you get started:

Let me know if you have questions,

Peter

Most Holy God and Father, hear our prayers for all who strive for peace

and who fight for justice.

Help us today to remember the costs of war, to work for a better tomorrow;

and, as we commend to you lives lost in terror and conflict,

bring us all, in the end, to the peace of your presence;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Dear Tony,

Google analytics provides a way to see how many people are visiting your site and where they are from. You can also see which pages they visit and other information, some of it is aimed at businesses to help them in their marketing and sales.

This web page has a helpful overview.

Thanks. I don't really feel I need to get into that: with your permissions I assume you can pursue it if you have timer and would find it useful.
