    Seeing as Freewebspace didn't answer your question, I will. Analytics isn't 100% accurate because it is Javascript and not everyone allows JS to run.

    That is the only drawback to it AFAIK. I personally use it on Directory Share General Directory in combination with a customized version of AWStats. Analytics tends to have lower traffic numbers when compared to the same period in AWStats, but Analytics has better advanced features.

    I don't bother running it on my web directory but after examining the wonderful posts in this thread, I just may reconsider.

    In footer.tpl just above </body> tag.

    I think that's the best place to add it. :)

    I added Google analytics just few days back and the traffic stats shows a decrease of 1/3rd of what it shows on awastats.:(

    Though one good thing is--

    The organic traffic ( SE) jumps more than 13times with analytics.:D
