To find out Google Analytics account number (also known as Account ID), just login to Google Analytics and click on the Edit Analytics and Data Sharing Settings link. This link is located to the right of the Analytics Settings - <your site name> heading, above the central table. The account number will be displayed in the first field of the presented online form, directly above your account name.

Please 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 (e.g. if your account is UA- 1234567, enter UA-1234567-1). Otherwise Google may have trouble detecting tracking code in your web pages.

As soon as you enter your Google Analytics account into your account MesArt.com, which you have already done, the tracking code is automatically added to your pages. You don't have to do anything else. Just log in to your Google Analytics account to see the reports.

If your Google Analytics doesn't show anything, you should double check the info about your site that you have entered into Google Analytics - that is if your URL is typed correctly, etc. If in doubt, you can also send us your Google Analytics login, so we could look at it.

You don't need to paste the tracking code - the google tracking code gets automatically added to your pages as soon as you have your Google Analytics account entered in your MesArt account page.

Please do not forget to specify your home page, http://www.mesart.com/boblowenfels or http://www.mesart.com/indexps.jsp?artist=3740 in your Google Analytics account, rather than http://www.mesart.com, otherwise Google may go looking for your code to a wrong place.

Tip: Some MesArt pages are cahced. 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
