Setup

To set up Baidu Web Analytics to track all the web traffic of your website, you are required to:

  • Add your website’s URL
  • Insert the code snippets
  • Validate the insertion of the code snippets

Insert Code Snippets

Baidu Web Analytics offers you two sets of code snippets. The first set of code snippet is optional and should be inserted within the header of every page.

    Optional Top Code Snippet

Only when this header code snippet is included, the metric “Visits (only header loaded)” will show values. The metrics “Visits (only header loaded)” and “Visits” together indicate how many visitors have not waited for your web pages to fully load before exiting your site.

    I like how they have the bounce rate and the multiple page info, i had not thought of using baidu before but they are the #1 search engine in China and they are growing quickly its important to take a look at them. Thanks for all of the good content, looks like it is similar to google analytics from my experience

    I have to say the thing that grabs my attention though is the ‘content reports’ – good info on Baidu!
