Analytics Prefix
The RSS Analytics Prefix sits directly in front of the episode’s MP3 URL. Every time a Podcast player streams or downloads an episode, Podsights logs the request for processing. Every major hosting provider has support for analytics prefixes.
For Megaphone:
Simply check "Enable Podsights" on the Podcast settings.
For all other providers:
The fastest way to get Podsights added to your feed is to email your hosting provider the following:
To: support@your-hosting-provider.com
Subject: Analytics Prefix
Hi Support,
I need to add an Analytics Prefix to my podcast. The URL Prefix is
"https://pdst.fm/e/".
Thanks, ____
The hosting provider will then take care of adding it for you.
