What is the url to the site you are looking to track? I'll take a look here.

The website is www.driftbuildstore.com

Some how this site below starting getting tracked recently but I have never done anything to it so I'm not to sure what is going on with it or how it happened.

It can take Google any amount to actually start tracking once the code has been verified. Usually within 24 hours, but I have seen it take a week or more to actually start tracking on some sites.

Glad you got it working!

Hi,
I'm just wondering if Simple GA will be able to use the new asynchronous tracking code available from GA soon?
I thought it would be a simple matter of just changing the javascript in google_analytics.php until I ran in to the conversion section for the checkout_success page, then I realised I was out of my depth

I have supertracker installed, and sometimes I get more hits logged in that mod than I do in GA, I'm presuming it's something to do with the loading speed issue that Google mention on the old snippet code vs the new asynchronous one but I could be wrong!

Thanks for a great mod though, really easy to set up and works great!

It does not have that capability yet, but I am working on a new release that will have that ability. Make sure you read about the async code. Currently I have heard and read it does not track as well as previous versions (missing some things here and there.)

It has nothing to do with the way Google loads etc... The true figure you always want to pay attention to is Google. They track "unique visits" which is the real number of actual visitors that come to your site. 'hits' is not real visitors. It will always be inflated and should not be looked at as it provides no real value.

Here is an article that might help on that topic.

Thanks for the info Eric, that article made for an interesting read.
I'm using Google analytics from now on!

The only advantage with Supertracker is that it tells me if someone added an item to their cart, so I can tell if people are adding products but not checking out.
With this in mind, I've added some event tracking code to my 'Add to Cart' button to log it as an event. This is working well.

What I'd like to do now is be able to log if a customer presses 'Add to Cart' but the item they are adding is out of stock.
The trouble is I don't know how I can tell when they press the button if an item is in stock or not!

Have you got any ideas how I can track customers attempting to add out of stock items to their cart?
