Who here uses some sort of traffic tracking such as google analytics? If so, how has that helped you so far, and have you ran into any trouble with it?
I've been using Google Analytics for a long while now, and I've been using it to monitor my forums production, activity, and monthly views. Seeing my site get over 200k views when I look at it brightens my day up, and raises my moral significantly. However, the past week I switched themes, and forgot to add my analytics code to the new theme which everyone uses besides a small select few that don't. By forgetting this my views have dropped from an average of 7-10k a day to 500 a day. I was freaking out, and confused until just now I realized I forgot to add the code to the new theme lol. Now, I have to wait a month to get my analytics to look right, and display an accurate number.
