      <script type="text/javascript">

      var _gaq = _gaq || [];

      _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-your personal site ID']);

      var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);

      })();

      </script>

    Create A Google Urchin Account

    • 2). Find an authorized Urchin dealer at google.com/urchin/usac.html

    • 3). Purchase a program license from an Urchin dealer found at google.com/urchin/usac.html

    • 4). Visit the official installation guide at "https://secure.urchin.com/helpwiki/en/Installation_and_Upgrades.html" and follow the installation instructions for your specific server setup. You can also receive support from your Urchin dealer.

    Combine Google Analytics and Urchin Code

    • 1). Install the Google Analytics code provided in section one. You will want to install the software on every page where you want the software to pull user date. Typically, the code is installed in the header or footer section of the website to ensure "user hits" for every page on your website.

    • 2). Remove any existing Urchin code from your website. This removal includes deleting any references to "__utm.js" files on your website.

    • 3). Visit the website where you have installed the code and then check your Google Analytics and Google Urchin accounts to ensure both programs are tracking site traffic. It may take several hours for some traffic to appear in Google Analytics.

    • 4). Check both analytics software administrator areas after 24 hours to ensure full site tracking is occurring.
