Knowing how your content is being used in DPLA is important, and DPLA currently uses Google Analytics to provide use data to our Member Hubs. Member Hubs may receive monthly reports from their Hub dashboard and/or get a Google Analytics account to interact with their dashboard directly. Please contact kelcy@dp.la to set up monthly reports and/or a Google Analytics account.
Tips for DPLA's Hub Analytics Dashboards
- Each Hub's dashboard includes individual statistics for each of the following: items viewed on DPLA item pages; items viewed in exhibitions; items viewed in primary source sets; and click throughs back to your/your partner’s own sites.
- The overall ‘events’ category includes all of the above.
- The dashboard includes two timelines that chart daily activity: one for all events that happen on our site (item pages, exhibitions, and primary sources) and one for click throughs.
- The dashboards also include Top 10 Events by Contributing Institution; Top 10 Events by Item; and Top 10 Events by Item Title.
- New Hubs won't see numbers for Exhibitions or Primary Source Sets until content from the Hub is added to these curated resources.
