google analytics on facebook fan page (2013)?
I have a google analytics account set up, with the code for my facebook fan page. But i have no idea where to install that code.

i also cant tell if it is even possible these days. The popular web articles explaining the process are 2 years old....and still refer to static fbml....which was disabled by facebook in 2012.

Anybody have any success using google analytics on a facebook fan page... since 2012? how did you do it?
to jake below.

Yes i clearly facebook is doing everything they can to discourage third party ANYTHING.
So it doesnt surprise me if they've found a way to cut people off from using googles analytics. Like recently they disabled your ability to control the default landing tab of your facebook fan page(now need something like 10,000 fans). So..guess what.. now people cant use custom third party landing tabs (to gate their fans, etc). Very Nazi-esque if you ask me.

Couldnt find any definitive answers though, or workarounds as of this year or last. Thanks for your links

Yea "Fan page" is a hint of dated information, I would think it may involve the Facebook app development api and registration headaches, here's a general article from jan 2013 https://developers.google.com/analytics/...kingSocial

Some ugly code from this year

One Google group reply says you can't. Search engines are blocked from personal pages on Facebook, analytics would provide a competitor a back door to statistics.

Facebook insights provides some 'decent' stats for pages already?
