Google Tag Manager Support
Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows you to add your link tracking code on Google rather than embedding the tracking in the website itself.
The plugin gives you an easy way to include the tracking code for non-logged users. This means your own visits are excluded from the tracking results. If you are running a membership site then there is an option include member tracking: this will enable tracking for in users who are not subscribers, i.e. those not fulfilling the WordPress role of administrator, editor, author or contributor.
Clicky Support
Clicky is a real time web analytics platform. It is good at excluding bots and referrer spam in its results. The plugin ensures you only enable Clicky tracking for public (not logged-in) visitors.
Facebook Comments Widget
If you want to use Facebook comments on your site rather than standard WordPress comments then you can drag a Genesis Club Facebook Comments into a widget area. You will likely want to use this on a landing page or sales page, to provide social proof of the interest in your offer. In the widget settings you can choose the number of comments to show and the sort order of comments.
