I put the javascript code in the page header tags setting of my homepage. Seems like it worked fine. Thanks for all your help.

Forgot to add that the "Check Status" function in Google Analytics isn't working either. So if it tells you there's a problem with your script, that may or may not be the case. Here's the update from Google.

---------------------------------------------------------

Hi everyone,

As you can imagine, things have been pretty busy over here ;-)
However, I do want to apologize for any frustration you're experiencing
right now. And now, some updates:

Reports not updating-- please be assured that all data is being
collected for every site as long as you've got the tracking code in
place. We're in the process of populating all of your reports with this
data, so expect to see your reports updating throughout the next
several hours.

"Check status" link not detecting the code on your sites-- there is an
issue with this feature that the engineers are working to resolve. In
the meantime, if you've got the tracking code on your site and you're
pretty sure that it's in there correctly, then it probably is. Again,
this also won't affect any data collection.

Thanks again to all of you for being patient and bearing with us. I'll
be popping back in throughout the day to see if I can provide further
clarification.

FYI - It looks like Google is having major problems with the reporting side at the moment so if you're not getting any data and you're sure the JavaScript is added properly, don't worry. The Google analytics newsgroups are full of people with the same problem and Google is working on it.

You could also put the script block in Page Header Tags of your page settings.

I created a small skinobject to inject the javascript in your page. It takes one parameter, "uacct", which you can use to add your uacct code to the script. The script will be injected at the bottom of the head section of the page.

You can download it for free (after registration) from my site, www.apollo-software.nl, at downloads > other modules

if no bugs are reported in a few weeks, i will release the source for free as well.

cheers,

erik

I signed up yesterday. The signup is slow as molasses, but once you're registered and sign in to the GA admin area, it's fine.

I have yet to see any data in my reports though. It's been 18 hours since I added the JavaScript code and successfully verified it. The servers that collect the data and/or populate the reports are probably getting hammered mercilessly.

So it is a javascript. What it does I do not know cause I have not seen it yet:-) But you can inject it between the head tags. Read this:

Also I am sure there is further tips here on the forum if you somehow get stucked.

Here is the Link

http://www.google.com/analytics/feature_fast.html

Here is the code:
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-000000-0";
urchinTracker();
</script>

Hmm.
Bet you this tool is a bit more popular then google would ever guess. Their servers are down,
and or so so slow, guess they have massive traffic for the new tool.

As soon as I am able to log in and grab the code I will figure out how it work.
If there is no more then cut n paste I will tell you how to.
Depending of the servers at google and how fast I have accsess I might be able
to fix this tonite. If not I will look at this before work tomorrow morning.(gmt +2)

Edited:
Hmm, I am guessing that this is a javascript, both not sure where it goes.
Maybe one must use a script-injector, or maybe just inject the script directly.

Hard for me to know how to solve this when I can not look at the code.
Server at google are still only giving me errors.....

Will keep trying though.

If you have the script, you can easily find out how to inject it into either skin or aspx site here on the forum.

...or, if you do not have a lot of different skins used on your site, you can put your code manually into your skin. You can find more here: http://forums.asp.net/1112380/ShowPost.aspx

<P>Not sure what code it is, but will try to look into this tonite.</P>
<P>I think you can just put the code right in default aspx, no need for a module, but not sure before I see what kind of code it is, and what it does.<BR><BR>Is this the new tool released for free? I heard someone talk about it, but have not tested it yet.</P>

I'm actually in the process of developing a module that lets you tie DNN to it. I should have it posted by tomorrow on SnowCovered if you can wait.
