Google Analytics tracking code

Google Analytics helps track all the statistics for your site. To add Google Analytics on Magento, generate a tracking code on your Google Analytics account (http://analytics.google.com) first of all. After this, navigate to System | Configuration | Google API.

This option works only on hosted Magento sites (that is, the remote server). Take note of this for when you work on a remote production Magento site. For the purposes of this book, it isn't necessary, but you need to keep this option in mind when you start to work on remote projects.
