Topic: Google Analytics

I want to add the google analytics script to my site. I am using the Base-Canada template for Saratoga WX. Where do I insert the script?

Anywhere you wish the script to track your visitors. I personally suggest you put it in the menu file for example so that it is loaded with each your page.

Just a note: its not neccessary to create separate threads for everything, just keep posting in the one where you already asked for help with your web, it makes things a bit more tidy

Just wondering at which part in the file.

Nevermind I figured it out 1 view so far. Dang I missed the rush of visitors

Yes I dont want to disappoint you, but dont get too excited, when I first time set GA up on my page, I got many visits, but later on when I looked at the stats closely I noticed most of them are from "suspicious" IPs in Russia or China

GA usually filters out most of the bots, but sometimes especially these unknown ones are counted.

Some time ago Google released a new product, which further enhances the way you can visualize your Google Analytics data, create reports etc.

A few days ago, they changed the pricing plans and this feature is now also available for FREE!

I have a subscription to the feed so I received an email about it. Unfortunately, when trying to open the link I only received an error that "The product is not available in your country."

But it looks very good on the screenshots so if anyone is using GA, you can give it a try, I am sure that at least in the US and Canada it will definitely work:
