put it in the footer.....that's where I have put it. you may put it in your header, sidebar etc also.
Thanks guys. I wont be using plugins cos I am gonna 3-4 plugins more. so using an extra plugin my slow my site. Off to edit my footer.php...hehe
Editing the footer is very simple using the WordPress Theme Editor, just paste all the Google code before the "</body>" tag and you're done. You can test it immediately on your Analytics page, Google should see the code once it's installed. It will take a little while to start gathering actual data.
Just find out the footer.php file in your wordpress theme. Place the analytics code before the </body> tag.
it is not do difficult, if you know coding, analytics has full description on how to add it, you may get some video resources as well, just search it. and as others said there are few plugins. try them
You can either put it in the footer.php or in the header.php The main point is you need to put it at a place where your site can load it every single time. Please allow 24 hours before google start to display stat on your site.
it goes in the header before the </body> tag, anyway they tell you how to do it on the google analytics website
hi dear i put the code before the </body> tag now how can i knew that code is installed because status of that site is still tracking unknown...
Hello rome9t9, if the plugin's don't work i'll show you another way, this is how I do it. Login to your wordpress dashboard, then click on Appearance and then click editor then on the right side of the screen find header.php click that and then there should be <head> tags, put the code right before the </head> tag and then click save! Good luck!
