Add Analytics to Posterous

March 30, 2010 in Tools with 0 Comments

You can use Google Analytics to see who is viewing your Posterous site. All you have to do is follow these simple steps:

  1. Sign up for Google Analytics here. Use your Posterous site url. If you are using a custom domain, use that url instead.
  2. Find the Google Analytics Domain ID for your site. This looks something like UA-123456-1.
  3. Click Manage » Settings » Analytics to set your Google Analytics Domain ID to that ID you found.
  4. You’re done!
  5. Sometimes it takes a while for Google to register the new code and gather statistics. Once it does, you can log in to Google Analytics and click “View Report” to see your stats.

Note: page view numbers from Google Analytics may not match those shown on your Posterous manage page. Posterous counts post views from subscriptions and your RSS feed which Google will not.
