Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Holy smokes Batman! You can now add a Google Analytics dashboard to your sites!

So, as the screenshot above would suggest, we just released a new feature into the wild: PageLime CMS Google Analytics Integration. This is the first of many experimental (labs) features, that is now available. To enable Google Analytics Integration, go to the Features area for a particular site, and click on the button next to Google Analytics on the right:

Site Features: Labs

Once enabled, the Google Analytics feature allows you to connect your site to a Google Analytics account, and thus offer users an analytics dashboard right on their home screen. When you enable the feature, on the site home screen Administrators will get a note with further instructions on how to complete the integration (the integration is a 2 step process that takes about 3 minutes).

  1. Make sure to add analytics@pagelime.com as an authorized user to the Google Analytics profile associated with this site.
  2. If you are still not able to pull your analytics up, make sure to update the analytics tab on your site settings with the correct Analytics Profile ID

Once you’re up and running, your users will see the analytics dashboard, which includes the following:

  1. An Analytics Summary of data over the past 30 days for Visits, Visitors, Average Time on Site, and the Bounce Rate. Each with a rate indicating the percent change since last month.
  2. A Site Visits chart with interactive data points. (NO flash required!)
  3. A Site Visits by State (US only for now) heatmap breakdown of visits.

The dashboard appears right below the site actions, and even on a 1024×768 resolution the Analytics Summary is still visible above the fold:
