Enabling Google Analytics on Facebook Fan Pages
WebDigi has generously shared their work on how to add analytics on facebook fan pages.
How to setup Google Analytics on your Facebook fan pages
The workaround we use in our code is to include Google Analytics as an image instead of setting the standard Javascript. This method tracks every visitor to the custom facebook pages on Google Analytics. It required a combination of server side cookie management and an additional img tag to the bottom of the facebook fan page. Here are the steps to get Google Analytics working on your facebook fan page.
1) Setup Google Analytics account. If you already have one, create a new website profile. You can name it facebook.com or facebook.com/your_page_name. You will finally get your tracking code which looks like this UA-3123123-2
2) Create your custom img tag for each of your pages you like to track. EG: contact form, services, products etc. You can use our tool to create the Google Analytics link generator for Facebook pages.
3) Add the entire custom image html tag from step 2 to the bottom of each Facebook fan page that you need to track.
