Installing Google Analytics in your ProStores Site Video Tutorial
Written by Matt on July 11, 2009 – 1:19 pmThis brand new video tutorial will lay out the steps for installing Google Analytics in your ProStores site. Without exception if you own a ProStores store you MUST have Google Analytics installed, if you don’t you won’t be as effective with your site as you could be. Google Analytics provides the data that you can take and use to better understand where your visitors are coming from, what they are doing on your site, and why they are or aren’t turning into customers.
I hope this video tutorial will help you learn to install Google Analytics in your ProStores site.

Great video! Can you explain how to set up the internal site search for a prostores site? What “query parameters” should be used?
Thanks!

Hello! are you referring to: A. the product search inside the ProStores Admin?, B. the search on the storefront that comes with your store?. or C. asking about integrating Google’s site search code into your ProStores code?

Hi Matt,
I’m thinking B and possibly C. I want to be able to analyze the searches that visitors are making on my prostores site.
When you go into google analytics, it asks for some query parameters (s, q, etc – which one does the site use?) Since Prostores doesn’t used any of these, and the search is handled dynamically (invisibly) to the visitor it is not possible to capture.
I talked to another web analytics expert that suggested that we need to modify the code to something similar to this…
pageTracker._trackPageview();
If the page is showing search results, then this prostores value is non-empty string:
So in this case, instead of the original GA line, we would output this:
pageTracker._trackPageview(document.location.href + “?search=” + + “)”;
