I'm trying to add Google Analytics tracking code to my DD site... but Google can't "see" the code to verify it. I tried both versions of the code Google offers, but neither seems to work.

Is there some kind of special workaround for this (like the Project Wonderful problem)?

Eh, I guess no one is going to reply. Apparently DD's code tacks on FOOTER right before the /body tag, so you can't place the Google Analytics code next to /body, as the instructions require. Therefore Google can't find the code.


Edit: Nevermind! It started working on its own.

It says it's working, but all my stats (judging from several websites I put it on yesterday) are abnormally low, and it doesn't seem to have updated from earlier today.

Everyone says how great Analytics is, but from what I can tell so far, it's junk.

Same here. All it did for me on my DD comic was show a single hit a day, even when I was getting thousands...

It could be that DD blocks some of the Java from working? I don't know. the thing is that, that all the other free counter and analysis sites work perfectly.

To get analytics to work you need to set your default page to the folder your comic resides. For instance, for mob ties, the folder is /Mob_Ties/

Website URL: http://www.drunkduck.com/Mob_Ties/
Default page[?]: /Mob_Ties/

otherwise analytics tries to find the code on the main drunk duck page (from what I understand it automatically goes to the root of the website to look for it IE(http://www.drunkduck.com/) )
