Using Google Analytics with Wild Apricot

You probably want to know who visits your site and how much traffic it gets. Google Analytics is a free service that allows you to track how many and where your visitors come from and how they interact with your site. It is absolutely free and easy to configure.
Here are the steps on how you can set it up to use with your Wild Apricot account:

1. You have to have a Google account to login to the Google system.

   Create it if you don't have one. Go to: https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount

2. Create a new Google Analytics account.

   Go to: http://www.google.com/analytics
   There are four simple steps:

   1. General information
      Website's URL - enter your Wild Apricot URL
      Account Name - you can call it any name
      Time zone - Country and time
      
      
      
   2. Contact Information
      Enter your contact information and press continue
      
      
   3. Accept user agreement by checking Yes
      
      
   4. Get Tracking code - this is the code that you will have to copy and paste into your Wild Apricot system.
      Highlight all the code and copy
      
      
      

3. Now go to your Wild Apricot account

   Go to Settings / Global JavaScript
   
   
   Paste the code from Google Analytics into the text field and click on Save button. Code will be applied to all of the web pages, it will also be automatically applied to all pages that you might create in the future.
   
   
   

4. Now go back to Google Analytics and check the verification status.

   Usually it might take some time for Google to check your status. The color will change to green after verification.
