Simple Google Analytics-not working
I,ve installed Simple Google Analytics and also signed up. I have my UA numbers which are pasted on the zen cart admin Simple Google Analytics configuration page. although I have a green checkmark on one site I still have the ! mark on my second profile (i.e my site has 2 domains, one is tte.ca the other one is thetrailingedge.com) Im not getting any information, its been well over 2 days that I installed and signed in. Upon reading up on the
Google Analytics site and reading Getting Started with the Asynchronous Snippet, it tells me the following:
The Analytics snippet is a small piece of JavaScript code that you paste into your pages. It activates Google Analytics tracking by inserting ga.js into the page. To use this on your pages, copy the code snippet below, replacing UA-XXXXX-X with your web property ID. If you need to do more than basic page tracking, see the tracking reference for a list of methods available in the API and see the Usage Guide for details on using the asynchronous syntax. For step-by-step instructions on setting up tracking, see the Help Center article on setting up tracking.
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>
Am I suppose to enter this and if so where do I put it, Please advise.
P.S. I followed the install information to a tee.
Thanks,

Hi Robert
Can you share your URL so that we can have a quick look?
If you have used the add-on then you don't need to also add the code manually.
On the Google Analytics home page, click on Edit next to your Zen Cart store profile and then click on Check Status.

Under Tracking Status Information, do you see that the tracking code has been successfully installed?

It can take 2 days, so as long as it says that Analytics has been successfully installed, you are probably very close to seeing some information come in.
Hope this helps,
Kerrin
Re: Simple Google Analytics-not working
It is telling me that I am receiving data. at the bottom though its telling me to paste this code.
Paste this code on your site
Copy the following code, then paste it onto every page you want to track immediately before the closing </head> tag.
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-19545334-1']);
_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', '.thetrailingedge.com']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();
</script>
I don't mind entering this code I just don't understand where.
also my url is www. thetrailingedge.com this one is receiving data
and www.tte.ca is waiting to receive data.
thanks for your help.
Bob
