Google Anylitics Code

Where do I put the google anylitics code?
Ive been looking EVERYWHERE and I cant find one definate place to put it
And I keep getting the annoying "Tracker not installed" even though I can find it in my source code.


HELLLP

 

OOPS I just realised I posted in the wrong area, oops.

 

I generally put mine in the footer of my vB install. This way, it loads on every page without an issue

 

So this would be style manager > all style options > then place the code in the footer section?

 

At the very bottom of the footer.

Instead of going to all styles, I search for the footer template and add the code to every style I have installed.

 

Ok put it there, now i have to wait a few hours for the google bots to pick it up?

 

I recommend that you put it in the ad_footer_end template. This template ships blank by default and should never trigger the "Updated Templates" feature after an upgrade. Whereas putting it in the footer can prevent changes from being applied on a new upgrade or if you purchase branding free.

 

Thanks Wayne, ill move it soon as I jump on my computer again.

 

Hmmm I have been having problems using this in the headinclude template with the site refreshing constantly, Ill try in there

 

I use mine in headinclude, sometimes people don't wait for entire pages to load.

 

I wonder which is best then, headinclude or the footer, I am thinking headinclude now since it may not register a visitor who never waited for the whole page to load.

 

Depends on whether user experience or statistics are more important to you.

If the statistics are more important than put the code in the head of your template.

If user experience is more important with faster loading pages than put it in the foot of your template.

I try to side with user experience first and everything else second.

 

It appears to be in the footer already when using vbseo Gonna switch those codes in the headinclude on our other forums right to the footer Thanks Wayne!

 

I agree with Wayne, I always put the user's experience first and foremost, then the statistics last. Actually, on all of my sites, I put the code in the bottom, right before the </body> tag.
