# Trouble Adding Google Analytics

 * I am trying to add Google Analytics to my web-site without much experience in
   doing so. So far my attempts haven’t “shown up”. I was told to add the code above
   the </body> tag on the index.html page. However, in reading some posts concerning
   the issue it seems people are adding the code to the footer.php file. Can anyone
   straighten me out on this issue. Again, I have limited experience so I have some
   trouble with web jargon…Thanks

 * Yes, to add Analytics to your blog, I believe you should add it above the </body
   > tag in footer.php for whichever template you are using.
 * Basically, the Google Analytics code snippet should be the very last thing on
   every page of your website, whether you’re using WordPress or not. With your 
   WordPress blog, the last thing that gets added to each and every page will be
   footer.php, so here is where you should put your Analytics code.
 * Mine works fine like this.

 * Hi liveeytv, liked your blog. wouldn’t using the google analytics plugin, available
   from the plugins download on this site be easier. I’ve found it great, and you
   only need to add your google analytics tracking code in the dmin area and its
   all done. good luck.
