<h1>Excluding traffic by Cookie Content</h1>

I get the error: pageTracker is not defined in Firebug. I hacked together a variation on this which gives no pageTracker error but I’m not sure that I’m doing this right.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X']);//use real profile ID here
  _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>
 <script type="text/javascript">
 try {
   var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXXX-X");//use real profile ID here
   pageTracker._trackPageview();
   pageTracker._setVar('founders');
 } catch(err) {}
</script>
</head>
</html>

Is what I have above correct?

    @mike was right, I was mixing techniques in the end I used Async, because it worked 😉

    var _gaq = _gaq || [];
    _gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-XXXXXXXX-X’]);
    _gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’]);
    _gaq.push([‘_setVar’,’trackme’]);

    (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’; ga
    .async = true;
    ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl’ : ‘ht
    tp://www’) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’;
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.i
    nsertBefore(ga, s);
    })();
