What did you do, remove your Analytics code? if that is the case, you can insert it through vBSEO so you won't have to worry about future template edits.

**Caddyman** · 09-17-2008, 03:04 AM

yes, i must have Mike, sucks!!!

i will enter it in vbseo for the next time to avoid such a newb mistake..lol

**Cerberus** · 09-17-2008, 07:40 AM

Yeah dont feel bad I did the same thing for a while there LOL

**glennybee** · 09-17-2008, 01:15 PM

Hey...I actually entered the code into vBSEO but it was the code for my other forum so the stats were sooooo wrong and I couldn't figure out why lol.

We all have blonde moments m8, don't worry about it! Shit happens!

Well done Caddy, free publicity is the best publicity!

Is this a good example of 'link bait'?

**Caddyman** · 09-24-2008, 06:13 AM

well i guess, and a example also of getting lucky as hell and ranking for a "trend"

see we were quick in the serps for that phrase, news broke, people googled, we came up

**Soliloquy** · 09-24-2008, 07:08 AM

where do you enter Google Analytics code in vbseo? Is it better than putting in in the footer?

**glennybee** · 09-24-2008, 07:12 AM

It's near the top of the control panel. Press CTRL + F and search for 'Enter your Google Analytics Code'.

If you put the code in your footer, you need to add it every time you upgrade vBulletin. If it's in the vBSEO CP then you can set it and forgot it, no need for template edits. And it's on every style and not just the main one.

**Soliloquy** · 09-24-2008, 07:33 AM

thanks glennybee, does it add it to the archive pages too?

**Caddyman** · 09-24-2008, 12:08 PM

i dont know if i would want to include the archive pages in my analytics, maybe add a different code to it independently.

**Soliloquy** · 09-24-2008, 12:23 PM

why wouldn't I? They're still visitors reading my content and seeing my ads...

**Caddyman** · 09-24-2008, 12:40 PM

idk, i actually removed my archive entirely, im sure its a hot button debate but i dont see the need for a archive, at all....

**Cerberus** · 09-24-2008, 12:59 PM

I read that archive is bad for SEO. I would have to find article but it made a lot of sense. So I removed it completely also.

**Soliloquy** · 09-24-2008, 01:30 PM

duplicate content, huh? Not sure I want to remove it, I know some of my overseas members prefer to browse in the archives

**Caddyman** · 09-24-2008, 01:39 PM

for what reason? because it has less graphics or? i have no idea why anyone would prefer the archives...

**Soliloquy** · 09-24-2008, 01:58 PM

yes, I guess it loads faster. To each their own *shrug*

**glennybee** · 09-24-2008, 02:39 PM

Deny the spiders access to your archive in the robots.txt file.

**Soliloquy** · 09-24-2008, 06:13 PM

... ok, that might work nicely and keep everyone happy... I'll deny all but the AdSense spiders.

**Caddyman** · 09-25-2008, 01:22 PM

Here is the latest from goog analytics, stats are still pretty low although the sites been buzzing. all this political talk has the posts coming quick!

**Soliloquy** · 09-25-2008, 07:36 PM

I guess in your niche, when people talk about politics turmoil is good for business

**Caddyman** · 09-26-2008, 03:21 AM

yeah idk why the slump in over stats and pageviews. i actually got a nice boost from the fortean site but still am under my average

**Soliloquy** · 09-26-2008, 07:50 PM

I don't know for sure but I think on some days people are just glued to the TV... if there's a big news story, if there's a really popular show...

**Caddyman** · 10-16-2008, 03:57 AM
