How do I use GAhelper?
If you have not already, set up a Google Analytics account.

Google provides instructions on how to add a piece of code to the bottom of every page of your website. For the classic urchin.js the code will look similar to this:

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-XXXXXXX-X";
urchinTracker();
</script>
or for the newer ga.js will look like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXXX-X");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>
Copy or write down the part highlighted in orange from the code you are provided and save it for later.

Choose a Version of GAhelper
There is an ISAPI version and a .NET version. You can in theory use either on any version of IIS, but here is our general recommendations:

IIS 7 users should almost always use the .NET version

IIS 5 or 6 users will probably want to use the .NET version if they are already using ASP.NET but might find the ISAPI version easier to use

If you are on IIS 5 or 6 and not really familiar with ASP.NET you probably want to use the ISAPI version
