Live Analytics on Your Website is Addicting and Extremely Educational

[Ste Daniels]

Alex,

Firstly sorry for sounding offensive. I can only echo what John said. What you claim is impossible. You need to have words with whoever told it was happening and get them to clue themselves up a bit. I don't mean to offend you, as re-reading your post now it sounds like your network bods came to that conclusion and your merely the messenger. Any professional network admin should be able to tell the difference.

Simply put, short of the Woopra javascript include (the defacto standard method that analytics systems use these days) running exploits against your visitors browsers and installing viruses onto your visitors computers it's just not going to happen the way you've been informed.

Ste - Thanks for coming back to respond. I would really like John to respond to me as I think he can help shed some light on Live Analytics and I'd like to offer some Dealer Refresh space to him so he can say more about it to the automotive industry. But he hasn't gotten back to me since August 8th, so I think I am going to pass the offer to someone else.

Since August 8th, I have done a little research myself and have found what John posted to be more accurate than what I was told previously. I still don't fully understand how it all works, so I can't intelligently speak to the various types of coding. Because of that, and the fact that John has not responded to me, I am going to let future readers of this article run off the short Edit and these comments. I would prefer to work with John on another article that takes the focus off of this one.

On another note, I have heard from a few people and companies who have now installed Woopra because of this article.
