For a webmaster, both a beginner and an experienced specialist, it is very important to know the number of visitors to your site or its specific pages. To count unique visits, there are so-called metric services.
You also need to pay attention to the bounce rate. All these tasks are solvable by creating a free account on certain resources. Therefore, we will consider the installation of analytical counters in detail.
Yandex metric and other counters. Code Registration and Installation Procedure
To install a counter from Yandex on this resource you need to log in to your personal account or register. The following is a description of the procedure for users who have already created a personal yandex account.
To create a metric code, click on “Get”. The service will transfer you to a page where you will need to fill in the main fields, indicate the goals and reasons for such a receipt. To install the bounce rate and other useful scripts, you also need to specify the address of the target resource.
After filling in all the necessary lines, click "Add." After that, you will get the source code, which you need to insert on the page of your site. You should also remember the conditional "invisibility" of the metric from this service.
How to get google analytics bounce rate and metric counter
We perform the same steps for registering an account with Google. It is enough that you have an account from the mail “account”, and then you can access the advanced features of this service.
To get the metric code and bounce rate, click on the link “Add account”. At the same time, you will see a page with access to registration and a button with the name "Registration". Click on it to call the corresponding form.
Next, as usual. We fill in the registration form with the address of your resource, personal login (name of the account) and indicate the time zone. The last stage of registration is an agreement with the clauses of the offer contract, without which it is impossible to obtain data about visitors.
After completing the regulation, the “Create a new account” button is activated. By clicking on it, you will get a metric from google. This counter will also not be visible to users, and it will be possible to view its contents only through the site’s administrative panel (if any).
Use the Google Analitics Control Panel (http://www.google.com/analytics/).
To activate the interface of this system, click “Access Analytics”. If necessary, set the display of the settings page in the desired language.
At the last stage, you need to configure the protocol for accessing the resource and enter the correct dns-address of the site in the field "Specify the site address for tracking". Having completed all the necessary manipulations, click on "Finish."
The resulting counter code will correctly be placed in the Head tag container.
Set counting code from LiveInternet
This service does not provide the ability to get a bounce rate. However, the code for the metric counter is distributed to everyone.
The steps for obtaining are similar to the previous descriptions. First, go to the url http://www.liveinternet.ru/add and fill out the additional form. We indicate the domain address of our web resource, e-mail inbox and password with confirmation. Additionally, you will need to list the keywords and access level to the counter.
Again, by analogy, click “Next” and verify the entered information. If the verification is confirmed and no changes are required, click "Register".
Now it remains to choose your favorite mini-banner and copy the corresponding code. To do this, perform another click on the button "Get html-code." On your resource, insert the code into the necessary pages and tags. When using script designers of a site with an administrative panel, this counter needs to be embedded in a template.
