Which ID to use for Clicky?
Upon enabling Clicky tracking on the services page, I'm prompted for a Tracking ID. Clicky provides me with a Website-ID (which seems to be embedded in HTML tracking codes), a site key and an admin site key. Neither of them seems to be working, as Clicky does not count any visits. What can I do to fix this?
You should use what Clicky describes in their docs as a Site Id.
In the example from Clicky's Docs, the site id is '10'. It's the ID inside the parenthesis after clicky.init
.
You can compare this example to the script added by Blot to enable Clicky analytics in our source code.
When testing, please make sure you're using a browser with ad blocking and DNT (do-not-track) disabled, otherwise your visits will not register.
Answered 2 years ago · Edit answerThanks for the clarification of the needed ID and testing procedure. I’m really not sure how to read the script/code on github.
However in their dashboard, Clicky wants me to use code that seems to look different from yours, maybe there have been changes on their end?
<script async src="//static.getclicky.com/100000000.js"></script>
<noscript><p><img alt="Clicky" width="1" height="1" src="//in.getclicky.com/100000000ns.gif" /></p></noscript>
This is what they want me to use as my tracking code on my website. I replaced the digits of my real ID with the same number of zeros for anonymity.
Can you double check please?
Answered 2 years ago · Edit answerYou should paste whatever ID you obfuscated in the snippet above into the field on the Services page of Blot's dashboard.
I refactored Clicky's recommended implementation slightly to respect your visitors' browser DNT rules but beyond that, the JS should be the same.
Have you tried sharing a link to your site to Clicky's support? They'll be in the best position to determine what's going on at their end

file, and then disable the analytics option on the services page of your site's dashboard
