Facebook Google Analytics

Question

I'm having some trouble getting Google Analytics to work with Facebook, has anyone here gotten this to work? Facebook provides the tag in FBML, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I've added it at the bottom of my document, and the status never changes from Tracking Not Installed in Google Analytics.

I'm using this in a Django-based web app. Here's the relevant portion of the template I'm using.

<fb:header icon="false">
    {% block title %}
    {% endblock %}
</fb:header>

{% block main %}
{% endblock %}

<fb:google-analytics uacct="UA-XXXXXXX" />

Answer 1

Have you checked out their dev page for this? Fb:google-analytics

What type of page are you using this on? I'm not uber-elite with Facebook, but it mentions that this tag can only be used on a canvas page.

Answer 2

Could you post the FBML you're using? I've been using Google Analytics on Facebook for a while, and I never ran into any trouble. Possibly there's a subtle problem with the markup.

Answer 3

According to Facebook (http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Fb%3Agoogle-analytics) you're only able to use this on the canvas page. Are you using it elsewhere?

Answer 4

To use Google Analytics within a non canvas pages. Use this workaround http://www.webdigi.co.uk/blog/2010/google-analytics-for-facebook-fan-pages/ by this web development company.

This works on Facebook pages and can potentially work on other places where Javascript is not enabled.
