Why does Google not follow their own instructions?
In google analytics instructions for adding tracking to your site is says..
Copy the following code block into every webpage you want to track. Click in the box below to select all code. Copy and paste the code segment into the bottom of your content, immediately before the </body> tag of each page you are planning to track. If you use a common include or template, you can enter it there.
This seems fairly straight forward. I have noticed it usually takes a long time for the status of your site under Web Profiles to change from Verifying site to Receiving Data. I have stuck with the instructions by adding the analytics code immediately before the tag.
Then while checking out Google’s Official blog I noticed Google doesn’t even follow their own instructions. View the source of the blog and notice where they put the analytics code. It is in the <head> tags of the page.
