I've been using the instructions here to track visits to my Tumblr with Google Analytics for the last several months, but just realized today that the JavaScript doesn't run at all on mobile devices.

Is there any way to make this work? The majority of traffic to our site probably comes from mobile devices, so we'd really like to track this.

Not all mobile devices can handle JavaScript so the Google Analytics code won't work on every mobile device. Google covers how to handle this with server side code as outlined here:


Activity on websites specially tailored for low-end mobile devices

All the same data that you've come to expect from your Google
Analytics reports is now available for mobile websites. Simply paste
our server-side code snippets (available for PHP, JSP, ASP.NET, and
Perl) on each page you wish to track. Google Analytics then creates a
profile for your mobile website where you can view the same kind of
information that's in standard Analytics reports including visitor
information and traffic sources. You'll be able to track users
visiting your mobile website from both high-end "smartphones" and WAP
devices.

For more information on tracking hits to mobile sites, see the
server-side developer's guide.
