Is it somehow possible to include a small piece of javascript on the journal page / posts to track views with analytics? It would be useful to gather some data. Or a function to just add the tracking code, since actually submitting a pageview request to analytics is really simple.


[source lang="jscript"]<script type="text/javascript">  var _gaq = _gaq || [];  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', tracking_id]);  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);  (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);  })();</script>[/source]

Hrmm.. we already do this for the site in general.. can multiple trackers co-exist on the same page?

Yes, that's possible through asynchronous tracking code!

https://developers.g...ultipleCommands

[source lang="jscript"]_gaq.push( ['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X'], ['_setDomainName', 'example.com'], ['_setCustomVar', 1, 'Section', 'Life &amp; Style', 3], ['_trackPageview']);[/source]

On the second example you can see that you can even push views for multiple trackers on the same command.

[source lang="jscript"]_gaq.push( ['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-1'], ['_trackPageview'], ['b._setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-2'], ['b._trackPageview']);[/source]

I'm not sure if there's enough demand for this to be done, but it would be sweet for those interested on the data!
