Hi
Has anyone used Google Analytics (or any other statistic, advertising stuff) in a Nettalk-served application?
Do You put google´s code on every procedure?
Does it slow down the show?
... or is it even useful?

Hi Rainer,
First you need to consider that some of your site is "public" (and analytics for that is good) and some is behind a login (and analytics there is pretty useless.)
Also - it's only useful at the "page" level, so it doesn't work on popups, or content-body refreshes or anything like that.
>> Does it slow down the show?
yes, of course.
>> Do You put google´s code on every procedure?
up to you I guess. It can be added globally (via a global .js file) but it depends on what you are trying to do.
Cheers

Okay, here is what I have been thinking.
The payroll system can be entered in demo mode. Demo is pretty fully funtional - except that the data is reset every night.
What I would like to know is: what are they interested in, what do they try out - which procedures interest them? We could use that info on demo/marketing.
The system consists of some 50 reports, 80 browses and tons of file exports.
Another question is of course about the paying users: Are there some procedures or methods they visit or do several times - that could be an implication of bad design from my side.
I have been planning of making my own "analytic tool" but Google's tool might give me better background info than just an ip-adress.

from what you said I think you would be better off logging all this data to a table and creating your own. That way you can customise what you are logging like button press's etc and tweak it depending on what data you want logged.

Hi Kevin and thanks for Your input.
Yes, I am afraid You are right but there is a drawback in this approach. It involves one of my least favorite ingredients: work :P
