Adding Google Analytics to vBulletin

Here I’ll show you how to add Google Analytics to your vBulletin forum.

This is for Joomla 1.5x

  • Login to your Administration Control Panel 
  • AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Click on <<>> to expand the templates. 
  • Select and double click on the footer template.
  • ** IMPORTANT** If you were given a choice when you signed up for a Google Analytics account to choose between the new tracking code (ga.js) or the old tracking code (urchin.js) choose the new tracking code.
  • Scroll all the way to the bottom of the code and add the tracking code by itself on the last line of the template. 
  • Press “Save”
  • I suggest you now go to Google Analytics and check next to your site’s URL. Hopefully you will see “Gathering Data” and you’ll know you were successful. If you see “Tracking Not Installed” try it again.

Good luck. That’s all folks!
