Step 4 - Add the tracking code to your pages Back to Top

Add the tracking code to your pages

Google Analytics only tracks pages that contain the Google Analytics tracking code. You'll need to add this code to each page of your site, either manually or through the use of includes or other methods.

To access your tracking code:

1. Sign in to Google Analytics.
2. From the Analytics Settings page, find the profile for which you would like to retrieve the tracking code. Please note that tracking code is profile-specific.
3. From that profile's Settings column, click Edit.
4. At the top right of the Main Website Profile Information box, click Check Status.
5. Your tracking code can be copied and pasted from the text box in the Instructions for adding tracking section.

Basic installation - Copy and paste the code segment into the bottom of your content, immediately before the </body> tag of each page you are planning to track. If you use a common include or template, you can enter it there.

Here is a screenshot of what i'm looking at in google analytics:

Well, I can say for certain when we were having tracking issues for a big Adwords account, the Adwords tech insisted we insert if directly above the closing body tag.

This appears to be very important for conversion tracking

I gonna stick with your advice on this topic.

The standard code should go somewhere near the end of the page. There's just one chunk of code to add.

The new "asynchronous" code version has two parts. For that new code it is important where the two pieces go.

How can I tell which version of the code I have ?
