Basic Integration: Tracking Pixel Embedding

The simplest method to integrate VG Wort with TYPO3 involves embedding tracking pixels on a per-page basis. This enables content creators to include VG Wort counting pixels in their articles, ensuring that page views are correctly counted for royalty purposes.

TYPO3 editors can manually add VG Wort pixel codes to each page, usually by inserting the pixel string in the backend into a designated field.
