Google Analytics Tracking

2008-08-21 Thread Alan

Hi, we're trying to set up Google Analytics tracking with our cakephp
site, and we're running into problems.  Well, the marketing people are
running into problems.  They have files that they say usually go in
the root of the site and that search engines(like google) pull up and
use for tracking.  But because of cake's set-up, google cannot find
these files (they tried putting them in the public_html folder).  How
can we make it so these files can be pulled up by search engines just
by going to the url (www.sitename.com/sitemap.xml, etc)?

Thanks!

put them in app/webroot/  if they are addressed directly you are golden

I usually make a folder for 'marketing felch' and just give those
yahoos access to those to keep them out of my 'house'  ;)

Nice clarification.

 They have files that they say usually go in
 the root of the site and that search engines(like google) pull up and
 use for tracking.  But because of cake's set-up, google cannot find
 these files (they tried putting them in the public_html folder).  How

app/webroot/sitemap.xml would be the correct path in that example.

Ok, this looks like it will work.  I will let them know they should
try this.  Thank you for the quick response!
