Updated my Google Analytics plugin to track AdSense clicks

17 November 2007 Joost de Valk 15 comments, leave your own!

Iwan Uswak from the Data Mining Blog requested that I added Aaron's AdSense Google Analytics tracking to my Google Analytics for WordPress plugin. I emailed Aaron to ask if he had any objections to me doing that, and as expected his answer was "of course not.". So I've just updated my plugin to version 2.0, and it can now track all the AdSense clicks on your site as well.

It uses /outbound/asclick to track the clicks to, instead of just /asclick as Aaron's script originally did. It's not possible to change that other than by changing the file at the moment. Just download the latest version, and upload the entire gapp folder to your wp-content/plugins folder, activate the plugin and enable AdSense tracking, and you're done!

    Hi, I have added this plugin (2.0) on my website www. TopIndianModels. com running on wp2.3.1 but I don't see analytics data on google.com/analytics its showing 0 hits. The traffic to this site is around 400 uniques. Can you help.

    Manish: it doesn't track you when you're logged in as admin, I see the analytics code is on there just fine.

    Hi, Joost!

    Thanks a lot for your great work! I love the elegant way you extended Analytics funcionalities.

    However, I have a little issue with it, which I tried to solve myself, but was unable to: how can I remove access of user roles other than admin to the GAPP menu on WordPress?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Joost,

    thank you for the GA plugin and all tips. I checked your page and you track with GA your subscribers (email and Rss I believe).

    What is the best method to do this? Im using your plugin, by the way...

    thank you again.

    Gus

    Google’s Adsense advertising program is the world’s most well-known Internet Marketing advertising program today.
