Track Tweets, Facebook Likes, Google Plus and more with Google Analytics

Installation

If not already the case, you need to update your Analytics code. It should look like this :

<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxx-x']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })();
</script>

Now you need to add this option in Sharrre:

enableTracking: true

And that all !

Viewing your Google Analytics social tracking reports

Go in the new Google Analytics interface:

Then in the left menu go to Visitors > Social > Engagement (or Pages or Actions):

Your results, if your tracking is properly set up, will look similar to this:

Social network

Google Plus

Even without Sharrre plugin, if you have set up both Google +1 and the latest version of Google Analytics on the same page, all +1 social interactions will be tracked automatically.
