Need Help Installing Google Analytics on Redirect URLs?

I am wanting to set up some domains with a redirect to other domains and offers...





In doing this, I want to install Google Analytics on these domains i'm using as Redirects.





However, Google states that the Analytics code must be between the %26lt;body%26gt; %26lt;/body%26gt; tags.





Well, when doing a redirect (at least the redirects I know about) - there is no %26lt;body%26gt; %26lt;/body%26gt; tags, and I can't get Google Analytics to work with redirect domains.





Can someone please help me on what type of code I need to use for a redirect - that will be friendly with the Google Analytics Code I need to put on my page to track stats?





Thanks!

Actually there is no need to install it on all domains that redirect. Only on the page that they land on. The reason you don't need to do this is because stats generated on a redirect page will be roughly the same as those of the landing page. The only difference will be the referrer attribute which if you put on the landing page will be great because it should tell you the redirect page. Secondly, putting it on the redirect page instead of the landing page will not yield useful results because each visitor will only be there a short time. So you will see a tremendous bounce rate. A bounce rate is when a visitor hits the site and within like 30 seconds leaves your site.





You will find that the stats generated on the landing page will be more comprehensive, more detailed, and more accurately reflect what your visitors are doing. Remember that Google Analytics also tracks things like how long a user stays on the site, what they are viewing in the way of content, etc and all that will be wasted on a redirect page.





If you want to go up and beyond what Google Analytics provides you in the way of tracking which redirect domains are the most active, it would actually be more beneficial to simply code a page that tallies a hit in a database table. Then you could compare the tallies to those of the visitors on the landing page that Google Analytics is tracking to add the benefit of seeing who hit your redirect and ditched out of the request... never making it to your landing page.





In any case, you might find the link I have specified below very useful.





Hope this information helps you out.
