Do I need to place the Google Analytics tracking code in the tags? (posted: 8/8/2008)

You do not need to place the Google Analytics tracking code in the head tag of your webpages. It is recommended that the tracking code be placed just before the closing body tag. It can be places at any location in the HTML. However, be careful with your placement. If you try to reference a function in the urchin.js file prior to it loading in the browser you will receive a JavaScript error.
