Google's New Analytics Code

Recently, Google updated the javascript code used to track your pages for analysis. The former version was either the secure version or the non-secure version. Now, it's both - which is nice.

There are two bits to the code and here they are:

<script type="text/javascript">
  var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
  document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
  var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXX-X");
  pageTracker._initData();
  pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>

You must add your Google Analytics ID to the second block where indicated by the "UA-XXXXXX-X"
