 * Trying to install Google Analytics and it gives me a few ways to do it. I am 
   thinking that the PHP method is best. So I save the tracking code as analyticstracking.
   php and upload into which folder on my site? Do I put it in the wp-content folder?
 * Also it says to include this line of code to the template page:
 * > <?php include_once(“analyticstracking.php”) ?>
 * before the </body> tag. I have two template pages, a main index template and 
   a page template. Here is the page template code:
 * _[Code moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/68664)]_
 * Where should I put the line of code in there and do I need to add it to the index
   template as well?

 * the easiest way would be to install the google analytics plugin and just copy
   the tracking code from your analytics account into the plugin settings

 * Which plugin? I see several GA plugins available. Also after I install and add
   my GA account ID how long does it take for Google to recognize it?
