Tracking traffic with GoDaddy domain?

by gwpmike

Hello,

I need to track traffic to my domain which I have with GoDaddy.

It is not my own website, but somebody else's system so I do not have hosting with GoDaddy and I cannot place Google Analytics on the website.

I simply have my GoDaddy domain fowarding to my referral link.

How can I track the traffic that is sent to my domain?

I need to do split testing with different solo ads and traffic sources.

Thank you,
Mike

    You can't. Get real hosting. Then do a PHP redirect that includes a basic counter function using MySQL or even a text file. Something more newbie friendly would be a meta refresh to the new URL after a few seconds, giving Google Analytics enough time to load.

      I have hosting with BlueHost which is where I build my wordpress sites and landing pages. So what you are recommending is to create a page that includes my analytics code and a meta refresh to my referral URL, and have my domain with godaddy redirect to this page I have created? Not a bad idea, I will try that. Thank you.

    About how many seconds does Google Analytics take to load on a page? Need to know how long I should make the meta refresh.
