Google Analytics without Javascript

Do you want to use Google Analytics in your website, but you want to support:

• Mobile Users
• Users with javascript disabled (NoScript users).

Or you want to track visits using Google Analytics on sites like:

• BBS (Forums, phpBB, SMF, vBB) track your posts modifying your signature (bbcode).
• Emails track your email views using google analytics.
• eBay, craiglists, etc.. see who visits your posts.

Are you tired of very bad image / counter based statistics? You want to use google analytics?

Well, you can do it very easily with NoJSStats.

NoJSStats uses Google App Engine, and is a free public service that allows you to track your visitors using just an image, CSS background, or anything that allows external resource requests in the website you want to track.

HOW?

Just point an image to the site with your account details, and you are good to go!

The format of the URL in the public service is:

http://nojsstats.appspot.com/your-google-analytics-user-account/your-website.com

For example:

http://nojsstats.appspot.com/UA-123456/your-website.com

Example (HTML code):

<img src="http://nojsstats.appspot.com/UA-123456/mywebsite.com" />

Example (BBCode):

[img]http://nojsstats.appspot.com/UA-123456/mywebsite.com[/img]

Example (CSS code):

body{

background: url("http://nojsstats.appspot.com/UA-123456/mywebsite.com");

}

Important Notice:

If your website uses SSL, you have to point to our SSL version:

httpS://nojsstats.appspot.com/UA-123456/yourwebsite.com

Only use the SSL version if your website uses SSL.

Why referrers are not working correctly?

Since your browser wont send to the image the website that requested the serving page, you have to tell our service what's the referrer manually.

You can do that using the "r" HTTP GET argument.

http://nojsstats.appspot.com/UA-123456/website.com?r=http://www.the-referrer.com/

Hey! I'm getting my users IP addresses, wow!

Yes, we send your visitor IP address as "User Supplied Value".. :)

Something is broken! FIX IT!

Hey, if the service suddenly stops working or starts sending wrong data, you can let me know, but in general I'm not a callcenter/emailcenter/customer support/whatever.

If you have problems with your google account use Google's support channels:

http://www.google.com/analytics/support.html

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Analytics/

http://www.google.com/support/analytics/

http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/analytics/

Also, you could try stop using this service (if you think that's causing any problems).

The fact that you donated, makes a lot of users grateful with you, but doesn't imply any type of warranty or anything.

Greetings!!
