Traditional Implementation Methodology
Generate Code
Snippets (tags)
for Analytics and
Marketing tools
based on the
requirements
Tags are given to
the developers and
instructions are
given to them on
which page a tag
has to be placed
Do a thorough
testing to check
whether the tags
are working or not
Developers edit the
website’s source
code and place the
tags on respective
places
If the tags are not
working properly
Disadvantages of Traditional Implementation :(
• Developers do not understand the importance of Analytics
• Editing the page source every time takes time
• If the website is complex and requires builds, tagging will take
even more time to get published on the live website
• Risky to edit the website source code, mistakes may lead to down
time
Disadvantages of Traditional Implementation :(
• Need to read the implementation manual of every tool you have to
install on the website
• Too much of clutter on the website if your tools increase
• Slower load times due to large chunks of JavaScript
• Redundancy of coding
Tag Management System to the rescue :)
