Is there any way to add analytics code to the download page to help track some goals?

    It's ready for you!!

    Head to the "Account" page and add in your Google Tracking Code to start getting reports for the Download and Purchase pages :)

    Thanks!

    Hey Drew - Thanks again for adding this! One small hiccup, my analytics code only has 6 middle numbers (guess I've had it for a bit), not 7 as seems to be required by Quixly.

    Thanks!

    Hey Drew -

    The analytics are working great. Would it be possible to make a couple alterations? My developer friend has a few suggestions that could help things out (most of the below is gobbledy-gook to me, but I trust him):

    First off, because we're on different domains, it'd be nice to add two more lines to make cross-domain tracking work. See: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/asyncMigrationE...

    With the Traditional (ga.js) Snippet in your code and mine, my GA will actually show source and medium data from the original referrer.

    Second, since most website developers using GA are converting to the new GA.JS Async snippet, it would be great if you made that the norm on Quixly
    http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/asyncMigrationE...
    [Note: if you were to do this 2nd request, it would mean using different methods on the first]

    These two changes would make anyone using Google Analytics able to track exactly where their sales/downloads are coming from. It'd be awesome.

    Thanks,
    Jory

    I assume your request means that you did not setup a new GA domain for your Quixly account.... but instead you want to use your current GA domain to also track Quixly activity?

    is that the case?

    thanks!!

    Exactly! It's cleaner on this end if I do cross-domain tracking from a single account.

    Thanks,
    Jory

    What about Google Conversion tracking on the payment page... how will we track conversions? Its a small script that should be placed on a conversion page.

    Hey Drew -

    Would it be possible to inject the GA tacking code into the confirmation page? It's currently only on the download page. It'd help with conversion tracking.

    Thanks!
