Analytics for Genesis WordPress theme

[ftleow]

Hi All,

Good Sunday!

I'm searching for suggestions or advice on what analytics programs / services out there work out the best for genesis theme? preferably free to use.

I thought I wanted to use Google Analytics, but since recently I'm going to be a full-time developer, would like to hear from you guys who are experienced or whatever level of expertise to share. Hope to hear from you guys.

Thanks a bunch!

The theme has absolutely nothing to do with analytics. Analytics take place either at the server level (raw data), or browser level (Google Analytics). Most modern browsers block Google Analytics and other analytics tools that work at the browser level if tracking and/or add blocking is disabled, which is the default for many browsers these days.

Reporting wise, Google analytics provides some very detailed reports, but there will always be discrepancies between what Google reports and what the server reports. Google will always show lower numbers, sometimes significantly lower.

I have one client where the server shows 500k+ page views a month and Google reports about half that amount. That discrepancy can't be attributed all to bot traffic.

Thanks, Victor. I was thinking this over, and finally just placed the GA code into my actual business website and see how it will work out. Trying it, might just switch to other if found better one or would run two services concurrently if possible.
