Step 3: Configuring Account & System Settings
Now that you've got your UA ID and Google Analytics account set up, you need to configure your reseller account setting to be able to apply the tool to your website pages.
Reference the following example and adjust it to reflect your unique ID.
IMPORTANT: *Be sure to preserve the single quotations ( ' ' ) at the beginning and end of your Unique ID. Otherwise, the code will not register properly.Example:
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-88870730-1']);<script type="text/javascript"> var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-UNIQUE ID']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })(); </script>

- Remember to modify the UNIQUE ID with your own, otherwise it will not track properly.
For those who are using the WLW Reseller Template, you'll need to tag the following pages.
Code Sample:
-index.html
-Header.html
These pages can be found under 'Account & System Settings' → 'File Management'<script type="text/javascript"> var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-UNIQUE ID']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })(); </script>
To verify that your Google Analytics Code is properly installed, log into your Google Analytics account and check to see if there is activity reported from all the pages you have tagged. If you aren't seeing a particular page, you may need to verify that the tracking code is installed properly.
*Please Note: Google Analytics does take 24-48 hours before data is reported on the UI from initial page tagging.
