POGoogle Analytics server-side tracking
text
Body
copied!<p>Google Analytics, by just placing its sourcecode on my website, automatically tracks everything I used to need (pageviews, unique visitors).</p> <p>But now, I need to track events, and the only way to do this is to do it server-side. Each time any users does an specific action i need to track, the server posts data to google to track the information, as explained here:</p> <p><a href="https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/protocol/v1/devguide#event" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/protocol/v1/devguide#event</a></p> <p>And it does works amazingly perfect, but, since I realiced, I am now receiving a LOT of visits from Spain, doubling the visits from USA. And before I implemented the event tracking, Spain wasn't even part of the top 10 countries.</p> <p>Today I have realiced that my servers are in Spain, and that may be causing the issue.</p> <p>How can I track the event, without making it count as a pageview?</p> <pre><code>$url = 'http://www.google-analytics.com/collect'; $data = array('v' => '1', 'tid' => 'UA-HIDDEN-1', 'cid' => $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"], 'ni' => '1', 't' => 'event', 'ec' => '', 'ea' => 'JUMP', 'el' => ''); $options = array( 'http' => array( 'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n", 'method' => 'POST', 'content' => http_build_query($data), ), ); $context = stream_context_create($options); $result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context); </code></pre> <p>Thank you very much!!</p>
