Would someone care to tell how you go about adding the google analytics code,once you have it, to your site?
In easy to understand format please

Your first step is to visit http://www.google.co.uk/analytics/ and sign up for an account. If you have an account for other Google services such as AdWords you can use the same log-in details. From there the website is pretty self explanatory, just follow the instructions and at the end of it you will be given a snippet of JavaScript something like this.

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
</script>
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-2439798-1";
urchinTracker();
</script>

You simply insert this into the bottom of each page just above the </body> tag. If you have a website that uses a footer file that's embedded in every page then you only need to insert it into this one file.

Leave it a day or two then log into your Google account to check your stats.

That's about all there is to it.
