Hi Jason,

I did a DevCon session on this topic a couple of years ago. I'll have to look through my archives at home for the demo files.

Loosely, my technique used an individual HTML file for each layout. The HTML file was very simple, only the Google code. Then on each layout of the solution, I placed a 1x1 px web viewer in the top left corner. I used a custom function to determine the URL for each web viewer.

One of the solutions that I have this deployed for has more than 500 layouts. I wrote a tool that auto generated the HTML files for each layout in seconds.

A couple of things to keep in mind:
	- Unique pageviews will tell you how popular a layout is.
	- Pageview will tell you the volume of records processed by the layout. The thing to take away on this is on a form view layout every time you move to the next record, the web viewer will refresh.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Jeff
