Is Your Google Analytics Installed Correctly?
Posted by

Stumbled across an free and incredibly handy online little utility offering to check a website to make sure Google Analytics Code is correctly installed. Below is the information from the site:
SiteScan is designed to help you configure Google Analytics, whether using the "legacy" urchin.js code or newer ga.js tracking code. This diagnostic tool scans for several common configuration pitfalls and organizes the results in an easy to read CSV file. SiteScan identifies pages on your website that have Google Analytics Tracking Code properly and improperly installed. For pages with improperly installed tracking code, the associated error is noted and described in the report. This makes it easy for you to isolate the pages with tracking problems, fix them, and effectively manage your Google Analytics Tracking Code installation.
Once you submit your site it goes into a work queue. When your website is up, SiteScan collects page information and begins the scanning process. You receive an email confirming the scan was submitted, with a link to check its progress. Once the scan is completed, you receive another email with a link to the results. You must enter a valid email address to receive your scan results. Results include a summary of your scan with a link to the CSV download containing page/URL level problems found during the scanning process.
Please note that you can only run up to three scans per day for a single domain. This allows resources to be freed up for other individuals wanting to use the tool. SiteScan scans up to the first 100 pages of a website. You can submit up to three scans per day per email address. For those with larger websites, or SiteScan "power users" that rely on the tool regularly, we recommend SiteScan Premium. It allows scans up to 30,000 pages, unlimited daily scanning, and with its own dedicated work server, provides more scanned pages in less time! SiteScan Premium is available to subscribers of the AnalyticsView Pro Plan.
Just as an interesting side note, as of this posting here are the stats from the site:
--- Almost 109 thousand websites scanned (with almost 62 million pages scanned)
--- 45% of pages scanned had code missing or incorrectly installed - WOW, that seems a bit larger than I thought it might be...:-)
