Question

I’m including the Google Analytics Script divided into 2 pierces of Javascript code:

google-analytics.js: (above)

var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "

page-tracker.js

try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("U*-********-*");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}

(I hided the “U*-********-*” because I think it’s an important serial number, not sure)

I tried placing them in the same Javascript file and I waited for 1 day and Google didn’t start tracking my page. Am I doing something wrong?

Should I just place them in a same file. How?

(I checked the URL and its right and i set the default page to be index.php)

Answer 1

You have to place both pieces of GA code on the same page you want tracked, that is the only way it should work.

Google’s Analytics setup page says:

Copy the following code, then paste it
onto every page you want to track
immediately before the </body> tag.

Or as written on the “Learn More” link:

Implementing the code
Once you find
the code snippet, copy and paste it
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. To
implement tracking code for secure
pages (e.g. https://), please read How
do I obtain tracking code for secure
pages?
