Is Google Analytics an effective way to track mobile phone access to a website?

1 Answer

Answer :

Google analytics should pick up the main mobile phone browsers including Nokia Blackberry and Motorola but I would personally run a basic logging program within the pages to write to a text file first if the website detects a non-web browser. That way you will be able to track the mobile users better and fine tune any mobile specific pages on an ongoing basis.
