Adding Google Analytics to Joomla
Here I’ll show you how to add Google Analytics to your Joomla website.
This is for Joomla 1.5x
- Login to your Joomla Admin
- At the top select “Extensions” > “Template Manager”
- Select your (default) template and click “Edit”
- Click “Edit HTML”
- ** 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 just before the </body> tag paste your Google Analytics code.
- 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!
