Setting up for Google Analytics

The mall doesn't have a great stats reporting tool. If you are using the stats with a subdomain, it does not count visits to your store through the main mall shopping page. Luckily, the mall gives you an easy way to integrate with Google Analytics.

If you edit your store, you will see the first field on the page stores your Google Analytics account number.

Where can I find my Google Analytics account number?

To access your tracking code account number, first you must sign up for a Google Analytics account. Then:

1. Sign in to Google Analytics
2. From the Analytics Settings page, find the profile for which you would like to retrieve the tracking code. Please note that tracking code is profile-specific. You will probably have to create a profile using your subdomain or the long URL to your store.
3. From that profile's Settings column, click Edit

4. At the top right of the Main Website Profile Information box, click Check Status

5. Your tracking code can be copied and pasted from the text box in the Instructions for adding tracking section.

Ok, so they've changed some stuff since I first wrote these 5 steps. The only tracking code you need to enter on the mall looks something like this:

UA-XXXXXX-X

(where the X's are digits).

You can copy it from the Legacy Tracking Code (urchin.js) section of the Google Analytics page that you should be on from step 5. You do NOT need to copy the whole thing:

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin..js type="></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-XXXXXX-X";
urchinTracker();</script>

And back to your stores page, you will enter UA-XXXXXX-X into the first field. Don't forget to save!
