Google Analytics code won't take
Dec 21 2007, 5:21 AM EST | Post edited: Dec 21 2007, 5:21 AM EST
I've followed the instructions exactly, gotten my code from google analytics, posted in the proper spot on wetpaint, but it doesn't "take" when I upload it. I've confirmed this by examing my source codes for the page. What's going on here? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks Do you find this valuable?

Do you get an error message? I've just confirmed with a new wiki and a new google analytics account that everything is working. Do you find this valuable?

Nope, I i didn't get an error message. I'll do it again and see exactly what it's doing, but it's my impression that gave me a confirmation page that it took... but I can't remember. I'm taking off for a bit, but I'll check it and reply... thanks! Do you find this valuable?

OK I'm back and just tried it again. This time (and possibly the previous time) it says that "my code does not appear to be valid."

Here's code taken straight from google analytics:

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-92584-2");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>


Thoughts? Do you find this valuable?

I see. Use the Legacy Tracking Code instead of the New Tracking Code. Do you find this valuable?

Great, that took. Thank you very much.

If your newer implementations allow the inclusion of the new ga.js code, it would be great...

Thanks for solving this,,, Do you find this valuable?
