So you got a brand new actor website and you want to get some stats on who has been visiting your pages. You can use Google Analytics to get tons of information about your visitors. Continue reading for the complete tutorial...

 

 

1) First you need to create a Google Analytics account. It doesn't cost anything, like Gmail.

2) Once you are in, click on "+ Add new account". It's all the way on the right:

 

3) Click on the "sign up" button to continue, and you will get to this page:

Enter your site's url (yourname.mixform.com or www.yourname.com if you have it), choose an account name and pick your country and time zone. Once you are done hit continue. The next pages you will need to enter your name and accept the terms and conditions. It's pretty straight forward.

4) Finally you will get to a page where you can get your tracking number. It looks like UA-XXXXX-X where X's are numbers. Copy the whole UA-XXXX-X number. You don't need the rest of the code. Click SAVE AND FINISH. Leave this page and go login to your Mixform Portfolio. I blocked out part of the tracking number in the screen below for privacy.

 

5)  Now you need to login to Mixform, go to Account Settings, Portfolio Settings and enter the tracking number (UA-XXXXX-X) in the box that says google analytics tracker id and save.

 

6) Go back to Google Analytics. You might need to wait a few hours (some times it takes a day) until you start seeing your stats.

It's ok if you see "tracking unknown" right after you create the account. It takes a while to get going. However, if this has not changed in a couple of days, make sure you entered the correct UA-XXXX number into your Mixform portofolio.
