Capturing data on users can be the most effective to modify a site, making it more user friendly, efficient, and a better return on investment.
Many 3rd party tools exist (eg. Google Analytics) to track users across a website. Drupal also has some tools for this purpose (eg. Statistics, Xstatistics).
This group exists to suggest ways to improve Drupal's internal analytics and ways to better integrate with other tools.
Please avoid making support requests such as "How do I get more people to buy my products?" or "How do I use Xstatistics?" However, please feel free to talk about your data if you think it helps the purpose of this group: improving user behavior analysis in Drupal.
GDPR compliant user tracking inside drupal 8
In 2019 user tracking on webpages will be more complicated. The this year in the eu you need an real opt-in before tracking a user. I tested the usercount on my page with analytics (real opt-in) and piwik (hidden tracking) and the result showed me only 40% to 50 % of user accepted the opt-in.
Now I'm looking for a possibility to track unique users, user frequence and visited pages (maybe referer pages also) inside drupal 8 so I can check the success of my online marketing activities. But all the modules I found broke my site.
Read moreUsing Piwik for drupal site as analytics tool
Hello,
Because there is noting about Piwik on this analytics group, I just want to tell you a little about it.
I have juste test the Piwik analytics tool (https://piwik.org/) and the corresponding drupal module (www.drupal.org/project/piwik). It is very easy to install and to use.

Hello,
The organization that I work for currently uses Drupal, Moodle and Kaltura for its online e-school. I understand that each of these platforms can connect to Google Analytics to bring in data of business value, but what I am wondering is if it would be possible to have all this data come into one area where ALL the data coming from Drupal, Moodle & Kaltura could be analyzed from one space? Is this possible? I am not extremely tech-savvy, so a simple answer using layman's terms would be appreciated.

Statistics/analytics data strategy for (multilanguage) site?
Hello everyone,
The site, which contains from ~100k to ~1M nodes needs web analytics strategy. It may seem trivial but will describe the site and requirements I am talking about:
-3 different languages, nodes are localized: the same content but 3 different paths. 3 XML sitemap are used, so it is 3x more content for search engines
-Different content authors have to see the summary of their authored content: how much every node was visited total (on all 3 languages combined!!!), daily, weekly, monthly, some other minor stats. Ideally all the data is kept until node is published.
Question regarding Link Tracking in Multiple Accounts
Hi All,
I was hoping someone might be able to offer up some advice.
I currently have several drupal sites, each with their own google analytics account. Recently, I've also created an "ALL" google analytics account that I'm dumping All my sites data into (in additional to each site's specific google account).
I have this working, using the custom javascript "after" area of the google analytics setup, as follows:
_gaq.push(
['All._setAccount','UA-XXXXXXX-1'],
['All._trackPageview']
);
Google Analytics not displaying Drupal.org referral traffic
Hi,
We get quite some traffic from drupal.org to our website. Some time back we noticed that traffic from d.o or groups.d.o reduced to zero. Initially we thought there might be no traffic coming. But then we figured even on purposely clicking our link from d.o, Google Analytics does not show the referral as drupal.org, instead classifies it as 'organic'
This led us to conclude that we must be getting traffic but its not getting classified under referral from drupal.org. The traffic died from June 1 last year.
How is this possible? And what is the solution?

Webtrends Page Tagging
What's the best method for adding Webtrends tags to Drupal pages? I'm on Drupal 7 and although there is a Webtrends module, it is still in development and without even so much as a beta candidate so I'd prefer not to use it. I'm sure there are alternatives for tagging pages. Suggestions? This is the code I'm being asked to insert:
Recommendations: Tracking User Behavior
Question - what does the community recommend for a quality service that can track user behavior? Specifically, a comprehensive option that understands Drupal and the layout and can cleanly track as much information as possible. This would include frequency of login, pages viewed, time on the site, node creation, comment creation, etc. I am assuming this is not going to be free, but I'd also like it to not cost into the thousands of dollars per month.

Online analytics team and proposal for drupal.org
On the SEO project team for the drupal.org redesign we recently discussed doing more with analytics measurement of SEO goals and objectives.
After analysing the Drupal.org Google Analytics data we found no goals are specified currently. Neither does there seem to be any governance or
methodology.
To optimize drupal.org we need to take analytics serious. Therefore we have created a proposal of integrating online analytics into Drupal.org and
into the Drupal community. Not just for SEO; we need to improve user experience and gain insights.
Google analytics are... showing not all visitors. Can this be related to some of performance module?

-Paged are gzipped by drupal

-All the internal Google Analytics indicators is showing that everything is ok, some stats is available.
-JS minify+gzip is enabled, but I clearly see the .js file, which is accesible.

Hi,
A client of mine is running a marketing campaign that will display ads on someone elses site. The owner of this site asked for a tracking URL. Since we use Google Analytics, I simply used the Google Campagin builder tool to make this URL:
http://mydomain.com/mypage?utm_source=nick&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaig...
I tested the URL and now have data showing up in Google Analytics. However, the campaign report shows 0 visits. (Traffic Sources > Campaigns)

Traffic analysis is making me pull my hair out ...
... and I do not have any hair to spare!
We run a Drupal site that is getting about 60,000 page views a day. We use Google Analytics and AWStats to analyze our traffic, and the Google Analytics page views are coming in about 13% lower than AWStats. This is after we have aggressively filtered AWStats to make sure we're only counting actual page views.
