We currently have a Drupal site that is content-focused and are using Google Analytics for metrics. We are partnered with a company that has a Magento site and cart and will be using them for eCommerce. How do I successfully add our GA tracking code to their domain and cart pages to ensure I am tracking conversions from acquisition to checkout success (or dropout)?
Is it just the simple cross-domain code outlined in the Google knowledgebase?
Thanks in advance
Yep, should be as simple as cross-domain tracking. Your best bet would be to setup a staging/dev environment to test things out and then push to production.
You can use tools to monitor the http requests getting sent to the server to make sure your tracking is working.
For Firefox, I use HTTPFox and for Chrome it's Google's homegrown Google Analytics Debugger.
Best of luck!

Is there any way to implement the checkout process aside from the ones found on the 2checkout site? I would like to have my own checkout page in my website and just pass the data to 2checkout instead of redirecting it to 2checkout's checkout page using the inline method.
2Checkout is currently in the process of beta testing their new checkout API solution which allows you to create a token from the card details client side and then submit the token server side with an API call to create a new sale. It sounds like you would be a great candidate for 2Checkout's API beta program. A ruby library and full documentation will be provided to you once you signup.
I think 2checkout sites ruby example has what you are looking for,
see here, or check out this rubygem
Does heroku have an API for getting visitors statistic to my web app hosted on their site?
i don't really want to use Google analysis.
No it doesn't. Google (uh) for alternatives if you don't want to use Google Analytics - there are quite a few.
I'm wondering if anyone can help with this.
I'm creating a site for a client using Google Sites (A requirement they set).
One of their requirement is for a contact form to be embedded on the site. I've had a look and there are plenty out there, however, if a user visits from any version of IE the content is not displayed due to the security settings.
All other browsers are functioning fine.
I know the alternative is to simply put a link to an external source, but is not ideal.
My question is threefold fold.
1. Is it possible to write a gadget that will work for IE with non-secure content (if so how)?
2. Are there any HTTPS contact forms out there that I could use?
3. Does anyone have any experience with Google sites and trying to load non-secure content and have any tips?
Thanks
Have you tried JotForm.com? They have the same (free and premium) plans as emailmeform.com. Plus, they have a specific roundabouts to embed your form in Google Sites (they have a gadget made for Google Sites). And yes, JotForm has https url for their forms if you wish to embed it as an iframe.
-- One other solution is resort to using Google Docs form.
Does anyone have any experience with Google sites and trying to load
non-secure content and have any tips? Still awaiting people with
experience....
-- Yes, I have experienced this while trying to put some social media scripts in my Google Sites website and the best thing really was to rid my Sites of those non-secure contents.
For any interested I have kind of answered my questions.
Is it possible to write a gadget that will work for IE with non-secure content (if so how)?
It is possible but you need to have a SSL hosted server.
Are there any HTTPS contact forms out there that I could use?
There are paid solutions for this. Alternatively, write your own html code to post to one of these solutions (free solution is http://www.emailmeform.com/)

When I sent a POST to Google checkout API, the return XML (or HTML) auto redirects the user to Google to complete the checkout.
I understand pci compliance and why this is needed, but is there a way to submit the user's info in the background so they don't have to leave my site to checkout? if so, how?
No, there's no way to do that with Google Checkout.
Check out stripe.com - similar pricing, but much easier integration! I just started using them and it's been a breeze.

I'm building a Magento cart and we set up Google Checkout and went live and unfortunately I was unaware of the 'API Callback URL' setting on the Google side and didn't have that filled in until now. So now we have a few orders that went through and I need to get them into my cart system so I'm wondering if there's a way to force post existing orders across to my system?

In your case try the Polling API or the Notification History API.
