Our Joomla SBD Web CEO Mambot and Module  provide a simple way to integrate Web CEO website traffic analytics into any Joomla site. Web CEO analytics requires a unique tracking code and is a paid subscription service, which we can provide if required, further details can be found in the pricing section found later.

Once configured in Joomla, you can view visitors accessing your site in "real time", providing website traffic statistics to nearly up to the minute. Using the Report Viewer you can see what's going on on your website, see which pages are most popular, by which part of the world. The Report viewer is an external windows application that allows anyone with the correct username and password to access the site/sites stats from any PC with internet access.

See "Real Time" website traffic statistics about your Joomla site in the following areas:

• Traffic - Visitors, Page views (Unique/Repeated)
• Activity - By Local Time, Day of Week
• Navigation - Paths, Entry/Exit Pages, Single Pages, Pages viewed after home.
• Visitors - Unique, New, Frequent, By Content Group (configurable)
• Referrers - Trends, Sites, Pages, Search Engines, Search Keywords, Pages Found on Keywords
• Pages - Popular, Unpopular, Per Visit, By Content Group (configurable)
• Systems - Browsers, OS, Screen Resolutions, Color Palettes, Cookie/Java Support
• Demographics - Countries, Languages, Time Zones, Regions

View the following page for further information regarding the website statistics collected.

The module allows you to place the Web CEO analytic tracking on any page in Joomla, it is fully configurable via the module. The module maybe copied as many time as you wish so you can create unique tracking options for different parts of your site or those sections that can't run mambots, for example a forum component.

The Joomla module is best placed near the bottom of your template and in an area that has no template formatting with the page title switched off, this also means when using the mambot that the mambot takes precedence.

To enable the module it needs to be configured with your unique tracking code, the module configuration options are:

Web CEO ID	Required - unique to your site, without this the module will not work
Page Name	Optional - by default if this is not set the page title generated by Joomla is used
Content Group	Optional - by using this option you can group pages together, then view how you website is being visited by groups
Enable URL Input	Use this to enable the module to process data passed via he URL
Get: Page Name	Default: mypagetitle, alter the parameter for controlling input via URL
Get: Content Group	Default: contentgroup, alter the parameter for controlling input via URL
Get: Transaction	Default: transaction, alter the parameter for controlling input via URL
Get: Transaction ID	Default: transactionid, alter the parameter for controlling input via URL
Get: Order Product	Default: orderproduct, alter the parameter for controlling input via URL
Get: Order Category	Default: ordercategory, alter the parameter for controlling input via URL
Get: Order QTY	Default: orderqty, alter the parameter for controlling input via URL
Get: Order Amount	Default: orderamount, alter the parameter for controlling input via URL

You can control and override all the parameters below by passing them via the URL (if enabled) by using the URL settings specified above in the module

The minimum required to enable the module is the unique tracking code which we can provide if required.

The following information can be specified in the Module itself:

Page Name: this allows you to configure the page name displayed under the report viewer, by default the module uses the page title provided by Joomla, this can be overwritten if require - generally not recommended
Content Group: this allows you to group pages/content together in the report viewer so you can see what sections are being viewed more than others for example Forums, Product Information etc. By default the module uses the site name as the Content Group.

Further advanced tracking is available in the form of eCommerce settings, for the module these can only be set via the URL, they are:

Transaction: The name of the transaction
Transaction ID: The ID of the transaction, must be numerical and unique.
Order Product: The name of the product ordered.
Order Category: The Product category i.e Camera.
Order QTY: Quantity of the product ordered.
Order Amount: Value of the product order, use numerical values only

To set any of the values by the URL see the following example:

www.simplebydesign.co.uk/?mypagetitle=MYTitle&transaction=Purchase&transactionid=12345

In the example above (using the default URL request values - not recommended) the page title for the reports is being set to MYTitle, with a transaction name of Purchase and a transaction id of 12345.

Further eCommerce Options

You can track ad Campaigns or other campaigns by appending two paramters to the all links you want to track in your campaign.

The following parameters are required:

Campaign Name: the name of the campaign - required. Parameter: source
Keyword: keyword to help differentiate links running in the same campaign - optional. Parameter: kwd

Example: http://www.yoursite.com?source=MYCAMPAIGN&kwd=MYGOOGLEADS
