Our visitor statistics are powered by the award-winning free Google Analytics service. To start using the statistics, you need to create a free Google Analytics account. Click here to access Google Analytics website.
Step 1: Opening a free Google Analytics account
Step 2: Entering your Google Analytics account number at MesArt
After you have opened a Google Analytics account, log in to your MesArt account, click on the 'Site Statistics' button and enter your Google Analytics account number. This will add the necessary Google Analytics code to your MesArt pages, allowing Google Analytics to track and show your site visitors.
Remove any spaces, and add -1 to the end of your account number if it does not end already with a dash and a number. For example, if your account is UA- 1234567, enter UA-1234567-1. Otherwise Google may have trouble detecting tracking code in your web pages.
If your Google Analytics doesn't show anything, you should double check the info about your site that you have entered into Google Analytics - particularly, that your URL and other data are correct.
Do not forget to specify your home page, http://www.mesart.com/<your name> or http://www.<your domain>.com/ in your Google Analytics account, rather than http://www.mesart.com, otherwise Google may go looking for your code to a wrong place.
Setting up filters in your Google Analytics account
Some MesArt pages are cached. To make your Google Analytics reports more accurate, add the following filter to Filter Manager in your Google Analytics account:
Filter Name: Cache Remove Shtml Filter Type: Custom Filter Search and Replace Filter Field: Request URI Search String: \.jsp(.*)\.shtml$ Replace String: .jsp Case Sensitive: No
