Yes, that is possible. Therefor it is necessary to add these sub domains names to the list of tracked domains (section "Domains" of the administration area).

Is it possible to track web sites that have multiple names (e.g. if "domain.com", "domain.net" and "domain.org" is one and same web site)?
Yes, that is possible. Therefor it is necessary to add these multiple names to the list of domain aliases (section "Domains" -> "Edit" icon for specific domain).

Is it possible to track dynamic web sites?
Yes, AdvancedStats lets you track any type of dynamic web site (written in PHP, Perl, ASP etc.). Additional customization of the tracking code allows AdvancedStats to work correctly with any complex structure of a dynamic website. Learn more about customization of the tracking code for dynamic web sites here.

Is it possible to track secure pages (https://)?
Yes, that is possible. Therefor it is necessary to change the prefix "http://" to "https://" in the AdvancedStat's HTML-code for these pages.

Yes, that is possible. Therefor it is necessary to add these IP addresses to the list of domain aliases (section "Domains" -> "Edit" icon for specific domain).

How do I set the style of the AdvancedStats button that will appear on my pages?
Before you will use automatic mode for pages connection you may set necessary initial style of AdvancedStats button that will appears on your pages. This can be done in the "Settings" section of the administration area.

Do I need to put the HTML-code on all the pages I want to track or is it enough to put it in the home page only?
Every page you want to track with AdvancedStats needs the HTML-code.
What is the difference between "General HTML-code" and "Dynamic HTML-code"?
The "Dynamic HTML-code" uses additional parameters that allows AdvancedStats to track dynamically generated pages (pages with parameters). The "Dynamic HTML-code" may be customized with specific additional parameters, i.e. to avoid the duplication of pages in complex dynamic web sites.



Is it possible to use the titles of pages in reports instead of their addresses?
Yes, that is possible. Therefor it is necessary to use "Dynamic HTML-code" with customized identifier variable "anident=". Instead of identifier value is used JavaScript inclusion "escape(aasd.title)" that will determine the title of page and send it to the AdvancedStats as page name. So, the customized identifier in code will be:
... aa+="?anident="+escape(aasd.title)+"&anr= ...

Where on the page should I place the HTML-code?
For correct tracking we recommend to place the HTML-code in the top of the page (but after the tag!). It will guarantee the activation of tracking because the content of the page loads from top to bottom. This is especially important for pages with a big amount of images or for pages with images that are of a large size.
 
What is the meaning of the section "Connect page manually" in the administration area?
The section "Connect page" lets you manually connect a page and is only used in some specific cases for tracking the content of a page which is independent from the page address (for example: to track an article which may be placed dynamically to some other pages of the web site). In this cases the "Individual HTML-code" for this page should be placed to tracked content.

Is it possible to block the tracking of certain IP addresses?
Yes, that is possible. Therefor it is necessary to add these IP addresses (or a range of IP addresses) to the blocking list in the "Filters" section of the administration area.

What is "Campaigns"?
The Campaigns allows tracking only specific visits from any sources, including sources that can't be tracked using standard methods (emails etc.). Creating the Campaign allows generating special links to any tracked page of your web site. Placing these links to a different sources like emails, newsletters, forums, blogs etc. you will receive statistics of visits from these sources through the links of Campaign. So, the Campaigns are very important if you want checking effectiveness of advertising, newsletters etc.

Is it possible to track visits of robots/spiders?
Yes, that is possible. But for complete tracking of robots it's necessary to install special addon and place the PHP-inclusion to each page you want to track for robots visits. The PHP-inclusion is necessary because most robots are not processing the JavaScript code that AdvancedStats use for general tracking. The addon for robots tracking may be found here.

If I clear all statistics of my website is it necessary to connect all the pages again?
With the "Reset" function in the administration area you will clear all statistics for all pages and groups for all time intervals of selected account. However: all settings and data about the connected pages, groups, domains etc. will be saved.

When I remove a group will AdvancedStats keep all the pages included in this group?
When you remove a group only the group and its statistics will be deleted. All pages included in this group and all statistics for these pages will be saved.

How do I change the number of items per frame for reports?
You may change it in the "Settings" section of the administration area.
How do I change the style of the AdvancedStats button that appears on my pages?
Each page tracked by AdvancedStats can have its own button style. You can change the style of the button for specific page in properties of this page. Therefor it's necessary to click the "Edit" icon for specific page in the "Pages" section of administration area, change the style of button and submit changes.



F.A.Q. / Link Tracking


Is it possible to track links with parameters?
Yes, that is possible. The addresses of tracked links may have any amount of parameters.

Is it possible to track secure links (https://)?
Yes, that is possible. Therefor it is necessary to change the prefix "http://" to "https://" in the HTML-code for these links.

Is it possible to track links placed in flash?
Yes, that is possible. Therefor it is necessary to connect this links manually (section "Connect link" in the administration area) before they will be placed to the flash.
If you want to use automatic connection for links in the flash then it is necessary to add the parameter "anpage=" with address of page where the flash is placed to HTML-code for these links. This additional parameter will simulate referrer, because the flash not generates it. Example:

The HTML-code of link:
href='http://www.advancedsats.com/stats/modules/tracker/aat.php?
name=link1&url=http://www.google.com'

The HTML-code of same link for flash:
href='http://www.advancedsats.com/stats/modules/tracker/aat.php?
name=link1&url=http://www.google.com&anpage=
http://www.domain.com/index.html'

where "http://www.domain.com/index.html" is address of page where flash is placed.

Is it possible to track links placed in emails?
Yes, that is possible. To track the links placed in emails please refer to the "Campaigns" of the AdvancedStats.

Is it possible to track external links (the links placed to external domains)?
Yes, that is possible. To track the external links please refer to the "Campaigns" of the AdvancedStats.

Is there a way to hide real addresses of tracked links?
It is possible to use only mnemonic names or digital identifiers of tracked links. Therefor it is necessary to remove the parameter "url=" from HTML-code for these links. Pay attention: the links you want to hide should be added to tracking before. Example:
The HTML-code of link with visible address:
href='http://www.advancedsats.com/stats/modules/tracker/aat.php?
name=link1&url=http://www.google.com'

The HTML-code of same link but with hidden address:
href='http://www.advancedsats.com/stats/modules/tracker/aat.php?
name=link1'

Is it possible to use the names of links in reports instead of their addresses?
Yes, that is possible. The automatically connected links will receive value of the "name=" parameter from the "General HTML-code" as its name for reports.
There are any additional requirements to track a links of dynamic web site?
To track a links of dynamic web site it is necessary to add to HTML-code of these links the parameter "anident=" with same value as in HTML-code of AdvancedSats placed on pages with these links. Example:
The HTML-code of link:
href='http://www.advancedsats.com/stats/modules/tracker/aat.php?
name=link1&url=http://www.google.com'

The HTML-code of same link for dynamic web site:
href='http://www.advancedsats.com/stats/modules/tracker/aat.php?
name=link1&url=http://www.google.com&anident=
ADDRESS_PARAMETERS_ALL'

where "ADDRESS_PARAMETERS_ALL" is value of variable "anident=" from HTML-code of AdvancedSats on page where link is placed.
