    is it a good idea to place the google analytics javascript code at the very bottom of the page just before

    </body>

    or should it be within the <head> and </head>

    Is you site based on true html or php w/html

    More then likely php w/html... if so add the script outside the php code

    From Google:

    We generally recommend that you place the Google Analytics tracking code immediately before the closing </body> tag of your pages in order to avoid any issues with page loading delays for visitors with slow connection speeds. However, there are several situations where it might make more sense for you to install the code in the head:

    * When using frames
    * If your pages call _link or _linkByPost
    * If you're using custom JavaScript functions that may conflict with the ga.js file
