Hi Everyone,

I am running a wordpress-powered web site and use Google Analytics to measure our traffic. I would like to set up Analytics so that it measures traffic coming from Twitter and Facebook. I see that Google Analytics can be set up to track social interactions, but I'm feeling overwhelmed by the instructions on how to set it up (https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/gaTrackingSocial?hl=en_GB).

Have any of you successfully set this up? Care to share your tips?

It would be wonderful if there was a simple edit to the WP code, or a plugin - am I dreaming?

Many thanks,
Kim
