When I first tried to do this, I struggled to get it to work. Eventually I stumbled upon the easiest, most foolproof method ever. Let me save some newbies some growing pains...

All you need for this method is your analytics ID, which get from your actual analytics account when you take the first step in setting up a website, and the all in one SEO plugin installed and activated. Go to the all in one SEO tab directly underneath "dashboard" and scroll down until you reach "google settings." Fill in the "Google Analytics ID" field then scroll to the top or bottom and click "update options."

Annnnd you're good! Go to your analytic account and it should be tracking your visits.

Simple, no? So, no need to copy codes to every page? Thank you.

I've set it up in a couple ways now and this has the be the easiest. The only drawback is I don't know how to get the data to ignore your own visits with this method.

http://goo.gl/Ex60XE this should take you to a video on ignoring your own site visits. hope this helps!

This is for the analytical minds ( which I am) but welshy worked for me. LOL. ^_~

Thank you I was struggling!

Thanks :) The only problem I have is that Google has a bogus site already filed for me, and won't let me put the new one in. And THAT is a trick to get around. Thanks again though, I have faith it's only a blip :)

Thanks for sharing !

Good info, thanks!

Yes. Im no where near that yet lol. Wishful thinking.

It's also worth doing it as the three-in-one following Craig's (@welshy) training https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/how-to-set-up-google-authorship-verify-with-webmaster-tools-google-analytics :) Rich.

Nice! Definitely check this out if you still need the other two.

Wish i had seen this back before I did it, you wouldn't believe all the rigmarole I went through before I could get it to work, I think I know all the wrong ways to set it up. :O)

I have an idea lol. This really needs to be updated in the training.

im saving this tip. cheers, i will be doing this in a week or two i hope.

No rush. Analytics is "cool" but only becomes useful when you have enough traffic to get data that you can use to improve your campaign.
