Hi Friends,

Can Any one tell me , how to Track IP Adress through Google analytics.

Lol .... it is not possible to track IP address with google analytics. I think there is not any website analytics program by which you can track IP address.

But why you wan to track IP address?

Yes Manish is right its impossible to track IP address.

doesn't Awstats in cpanel track your last # of visitors' IPs...

Yes awstats gives a few results. I don't know if it's accurate.

If you're running PHP it is entirely possible to track IP addresses. This code is what you need to put on each page:

<script type="text/javascript"> 
javascript:pageTracker._setVar('<?php echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>') 
</script>

It won't take into account proxy servers, but I know it is possible to expand it so it will track through transparent proxies, I just don't know how to do it. I am also trying to find a similar piece of code for asp.net

I don't know why this is funny? It is entirely possible to track IP addresses in analytics programs, why they would choose not to is entirely different issue. GoAn for example DO track IP addresses but it is against their ToS to let users know what these are since they are 'personally identifiable'.
We have created our own tracking application that tracks IP addresses using the method described above by paratroll.

I've actually found an even more advanced version since posting that, but unfortunately haven't managed to get it to work (although it is mentioned in enough pages on the net that I trust that it does). I'll see if I can find it anywhere.

You can yes, why you would need to is beyond me, however:

PHP Code:

<? $IP=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>

You then need to take into account where you wish to store the IP address? You can run a command to place it into a database...

PHP Code:

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }     mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);     mysql_query("INSERT INTO ipdatabase (IP) 
VALUES ('$IP')");          mysql_close($con);
?>

Thanks,
Andy

I just use my web logs
Then again, I'm much lazier than the other posters here.

Why? Your server already logs all of this for you.

It's a whole lot easier to drop a cookie on them for tracking people on your site..
