We've recently encountered a question about adding Google Analytics to Squidoo and have been inspired to write this blog post.
First of all let me give a brief description of what Google Analytics is.
Google analytics is software that is installed using java script that generates detailed statistics about exactly who is visiting your website and exactly where it is they are coming from.
Ok, that brings me to my next point. Adding Google Analytics to Squidoo is actually not necessary. See, Squidoo has there own tracking that does exactly what Google Analytics does. Some claim that Squidoo's tracking is actually generated by Google Analytics. Don't quote me on that though.
The built in tracking on Squidoo is a great tool and is very detailed. Not quite as detailed as Google Analytics but it more than gets the job done. One great feature avaliable with the built in tracking is the option to add other keywords that led someone to your page. If a keyword is not listed in your Lenses Tags already and someone used that exact keyword to find your lens, you have the option to add it. Pretty cool.
Adding Google Analytics to Squidoo may still be possible but is definitely not necessary. I couldn't find an HTML module to test it out, maybe someone can answer that by commenting here.
