The most efficient way of tracking traffic from referring sites via Google Analytics is by tagging the traffic with specific variables that are recognized by Google Analytics.

All you have to do is attach those three variables to the URL: utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign.

For example: http://www.royaldeerdesign.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cost-per-click& utm_campaign=June2011

Google provides even a tool URL Builder that can be found here.

You can integrate Google Analytics with your Zen Cart website very easily by editing only one file.

First you have to have your Google Analytics account. If you do not have one, go to http://www.google.com/analytics/ and sign up.

Let’s go to your Zen Cart files. The file we are interested in is located here:
../included/templates/YOURTEMPLATE /common/ tpl_footer.php

This file is included in the bottom of each page of your website. You just edit this file and add your Google Analytics JavaScript code on the bottom of this page.
