Google Analytics without Javascript, RSS, XML, etc

[admin]

If you've ever been frustrated at the need for developers to add javascript tracking code, or you simply want to track pages like RSS and mobile pages where javascript is not allowed, then the following solution is for you.

We've done several server side solutions like this, such as the integration of phone calls into Google Analytics directly from the phone routing server (stay tuned for more!). I was reading through some articles researching and i came across an elegant post that i thought i should share:

The PHP code to fake the image request for Google is as follows (also found at*http://www.vdgraaf.info/wp-content/uploads/tracker.txt), although a similar technique can be used for Omniture or other platforms. This post is pretty old, but the code should still be fine, the principle is definitely still ok!*

Oh and this is also useful if you want to add other information to your Analytics, but you want to keep it from prying eyes! For more help with these types of integrations, contact us at insights@datalicious.com
