Quick and simple way to add Google Analytics to all of your WordPress posts and pages!

Question Update:

Is this better then doing it the way Kyle shows in the tutorial?

It's just another way that I found to be very easy. If you have it all set up and are getting information from Google there is no reason to change.

all done now, and the GA checker website shows check marks in the column "Global Site Tag", but none of the pages/posts have check marks in the column "Universal Analytics" ?? Are there supposed to be check marks in that column?

Universal analytics is now the default. No worries.

I believe Kyle's probably shows the All in One SEO plugin settings page, where one just inserts their Google Analytics ID. So it's easy, because WA preloads this plugin to all of the domains hosted now on WA.

But if one is not using that plugin, using the Insert Headers and Footers Plugin is a nice option, as you've shown. A text widget can also be created, without a plugin, and inserted into the footer; where one can then paste the code.

I like that you showed the GAChecker, as well. That's awesome.

What's the advantage of doing this? I've already set up Google Analytics as shown in Kyle's training - does this do something different? Thanks.

It's just another way that I found to be very easy. I don't remember how Kyle sets it up (i have not been through the training sine 2013). I you have it all set up and are getting information from Google there is not reason to change.

Thanks. The training shows us how to do it through teh ALl in ONe SEO plugin that's pre-installed. Cheers.

perfect! I use Yoast and they don't have a section for Analytics, just webmaster tools.

I keep reading about Yoast and how good it is. Not yet confident enough to switch over. Maybe one day... in which case this training will be very useful.

I would not fret about it to much, I have done a lot of research between the to and they are pretty much on par with each other. If you have AiO set up don't waste your time switching. Unless Yoast has some feature you can't live without.
