Google analytics

**masque** · 13 October 2009, 06:35 PM

Help anyone.
I am trying to insert the code provided by Google (Google analytics), but inserting the provided code in a placeholder, which is about my limit, doesn't seem to work as its reported as not being present by Google, ie, 'tracking not installed'. Any suggestions by anyone with experience of this would be very welcome.

Derek - It takes a little while for Google to find the code. Usually 24 hours.

I have used it for several sites and it works very well.

Check your Analytics page tomorrow.

Hi Derek,

I think the code should be placed in the Page >> Tracker code section.

Correct, the Tracker code feature was designed with Google analytics in mind.

Ok, that explains two things; what to do with the code and what Traker Code section is for. Clear now thanks to all.

Hi,
I recieved an xml file from Google when I submitted my site. do I copy and paste that into 'Tracker code' or the text that is contained within the xml file?

what is the difrence if place the code under the page tab, or the website tab?

the code has to be present on every page so best to place it in the website tab.

The xml file has to be in the root folder of the site - where the index.htm(l) page is.

I *think* it can be deleted once Google has verified your site. I can't find a reference to it in their help, but I am sure I have had to do this in the past...
