Now that Google indexes the updates from the Facebook fan pages, surely many companies would start to show promotional support to advertise on the Facebook fan page and track the converisations and all that can’t be easy without the help of the search engine giant..
If you ever wanted to track your Facebook Fan page visits with the conversations on your site? Here is a way… a post from web design company UK, tells how to incorporate this web analytics tool on our Facebook page and thus have another source that counted visits, keywords etc …
For these steps to work Google Analytics needs to be included as an image rather than as a JavaScript code. Since Facebook doesn’t support\allow users to add JavaScript to the pages.
Here is how to convert the javascript to the image format:
1. Create a new profile in Google analytics for a Facebook fan page. You can call or facebook.com or facebook.com / [name]. Get the code from Google analytics in this format UA-3123123-2
2. Visit the site http://ga.webdigi.co.uk/ and generate HTML-IMG tag code needed for EACH page you wish to track.
3. Add the HTML IMG tag at the bottom of Facebook pages to crawl.
Update – 08\03\10: Lots of People are asking me on how to add the HTML IMG tag at the facebook pages on Step 3. Here is how:
– You need to add an application called Static FBML to your Facebook Page first.
– Then it would show in your Facebook Pages’ Editing section
– Now click on ‘Edit’ below FBML section and add the IMG tag (Here is the example page)
That’s all you have to do, since then, many more systems to include this service on Facebook, but this may be the simplest. If this article helped you, feel free to become a fan on the mypassion page on Facebook.
