Development on GitHub
The development of Google Analytics by Yoast takes place on GitHub. Bugs and pull requests are welcomed there. For support, you have two options: either buy the premium version of Google Analytics by Yoast on Yoast.com, this will give you access to our support team, or refer to the forums.

Full list of features:

  • Simple installation through integration with Google Analytics API: authenticate, select the site you want to track and you're done.
  • This plugin uses the universal or the asynchronous Google Analytics tracking code, the fastest and most reliable tracking code Google Analytics offers.
  • Option to enable demographics and interest reports.
  • Outbound link & downloads tracking.
    • Configurable options to track outbound links either as pageviews or as events.
    • Option to track just downloads as pageviews or events in Google Analytics.
    • Option to track internal links with a particular format as outbound links, very useful for affiliate links that start with /out/, for instance.
  • Possibility to ignore any user level and up, so all editors and higher for instance.
  • Option to anonymize IP's for use in countries with stricter privacy regulations.
  • Tracking of your search result pages and 404 pages.
  • Full debug mode, including Firebug lite and ga_debug.js for debugging Google Analytics issues.
