Generating traffic to your PHPbb forum is good, but it can be even better if you could track what happens on your site and do updates immediately. Google provides this tool called Google Analytics to help you track your on site traffic.

To install it you will first need to sign up at this URL http://www.google.com/analytics/

Once you are done you will need to do the following 

Add the google analytics javascript to the files in the following locations on your PHPbb system

Assuming your are using prosilver as your theme :

1. Navigate to <system root>/cache/tpl_prosilver_overall_footer.html.php
2. Add the tag provided by google analytics javascript to the portion just below the </body>tag (This will update the cache)
3. Navigate to <system root>/style/prosilver/template/overall_footer.html
4. Add the tag provided by google analytics javascript to the portion just below the </body>tag (This will ensure the google analytics javascript is still shown there once the current cache expires)

 Now you PHPbb forum is up and ready to go!
