Google Analyticator

Google Analyticator

Description

Google Analyticator easily adds Google Analytics tracking support to a WordPress-powered blog. Google Analyticator also comes with an easily customizable widget that can be used to display specific information that is gathered by Google Analytics using the Google Analytics API. It supports all of the tracking mechanisms that Google Analytics supports such as external link tracking, download tracking, tracking without counting administrative users, and any other advanced tracking the user wishes to add. Google Analyticator works with a majority of themes as long as these themes provide the proper plugin hooks.

Google Analyticator was the first Google Analytics tracking plugin for WordPress. It is now one of the most popular tracking plugins that can be used with WordPress. It is also now the first WordPress plugin using Google Analytics stats to display visitor information on the front-end in the form of a visitor counter.

  • Supports standard Google Analytics tracking via the latest async tracking methods (faster and more reliable than the older ga.js tracking method)
  • Includes an admin dashboard widget that displays a graph of the last 30 days of visitors, a summary of site usage, the top pages, the top referrers, and the top searches
  • Provides a widget that can be used to display visitor stat information on the front-end
  • Supports external link tracking of all links on the page, including links not managed by WordPress
  • Supports download link tracking
