Google Analytics Setup

MightyMerchant supports the Google Analytics statistics package (which was previously known as Urchin) . With Google Analytics you can have access to extensive statistics about the traffic on your website. You can also track multiple domains.

Here's what you need to do to get started:

1. From the Google home page (http://google.com) click on Business Solutions (it's at the bottom of the page), then click Google Analytics.

2. Click on "Access Analytics." If you already have a Google account, just enter your Google account Email and Password.

3. If you do not have a Google account, click on the link that reads "Sign up."  Walk through the Google Account setup (you will use an email address and password of your choosing). You'll see a form to sign up for Analytics at the bottom of the page. Click Continue, then hit the large button "Sign Up."

4. You'll enter your website URL and agree to some official language. After you add a domain, you will be given some code that is specific to that domain. Copy and paste this information into an email and send it to us so we can install it on your site. If we host multiple sites for you, please indicate which site the code is for.

We recommend giving MightyMerchant access to your Analytics data so we can help you troubleshoot any issues that arise. If you prefer not to, you can skip to step 6.

5. Click the GEAR icon. Click the USERS link. Add us as a user with the email mightymerchant@gmail.com.

6. 24 hours after the code is added you will be able to track site statistics through your Google Analytics account. To access your account, go to http://google.com , click Sign In, then sign in, then click My Account, then Analytics.
