Did you know that adding Google Analytics to your InstantSpot is super easy? Like this and like so:

Step 1
Sign up for a Google Analytics Account, here. When I signed up there was a waiting period, I don’t believe there is one now.

Step 2
Once you have an account click on the "Add Website Profile" link.

Step 3
Fill out the form that comes up with your domain name, something like: ev.instantspot.com then select the correct country and timezone. The case of InstantSpot the timezone is central and the country is the United States.

Step 4
Once the previous page is filled out you will get the screen below. From this screen you need one piece of information. It's a 7 digit code. I've marked mine out on the screen shot, but it should look like the this: UA-123456-1. However for the this purpose you only need 123456-1. You do not need the UA- part.

Step 5
The final step is coming to the InstantSpot Control Panel and selecting "Tracking Script Manager" on the right nav menu. The screen below should pop up. Select Google Analytics and enter the code.

There ya go, you are all set. Google Analytics is now tracking your Spot. One thing to remember is that the Google Analytics site is updated daily. I have found it's somewhere around 10:00pm CST.

InstantSpot offers other tracking options as you can tell from the drop down list. However I have not tried any of these. I like the way Google does what they do, although I have to admit I haven't dug to deep in the results.

Good Day!
