    Ive set up a Google Analytics account and am trying to copy and paste the code snippet onto my html webpage.

    I have pasted the code at the top of my html webpage. To check if it is working I have gone into my webpage and View Source but I cant see the code anywhere.

    What am i doing wrong. This is so frustrating so hope someone can help. I have been on all the Google help pages but cant understand it.

    The website did used to be with a different hosting company and the old web developer did set up Google Analytics for the domain. I have set up a new website with a different hosting company, none of the old website exists, just the domain. Could this have something to do with it?

    Thanks

    am trying to copy and paste the code snippet onto my html webpage.

    what does this have to do with wordpress?

    where to what file did you add the code?
    what method have you used to paste the code?
    did you save/update/upload the edited html?

    without a link to your site, no one can even try to check and see if your code is there.

    my site is http://www.wolvestrees.co.uk

    i thought to copy and paste the code snippet i had to go into my wordpress admin and on my page i viewed it in html, then pasted the snippet at the top. I then saved the page.

    this is only what i can understand to do, by the sounds of it it is wrong. Please help.

    Thanks

    as far as i remember (you will find the correct instructions within your analytics account somewhere, for instance in the help section: http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55488) the analytics code should be inserted just before the </body> tag (which you would typically find in footer.php of your theme)

    also, there are plugins available to assist you with that.

    i am totally confused about this whole thing.

    I have now copied and pasted the cade to where you say but google analytics still cant verify. I have read lots of information but dont seem to understand any of it.

    what page do i paste the code onto and where do i paste the code?

    The web page link you attached dosnt work so i have found the following information.

    http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=174090

    http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/asyncTracking.html

    I dont know what page it wants me to paste the code snippet onto, or exactly where abouts to paste it once i find the page.

    I have deleted where i thought i was meant to paste it as when i went into Google verification it failed.

    If anyone can give me step by step instructions that would be greatly appreciated.

    1. Please read this if you want to install GoogleAnalytics on a WordPress Blog: http://onlinemarketbuzz.com/2009/06/16/how-to-install-google-analytics-code-to-your-wordpress-account

    2.

    “then pasted the snippet at the top. I then saved the page”

    First of all, that is not correct. Please go to your GoogleAnalytics grab the code and paste it here:

    before the closing </head> tag

    It will look the following:

    <script type=”text/javascript”>
    GOOGLE ANALYTICS CODE….
    </script>
    </head>

    After you did that you will have to wait for some time after you receive the first data.

    PS: You will find more instructions & help on goolge analytics help forums.
