Thread: Older Version of the Google Analytics Tracking Code

Hello BVH friends, My name is Paul and I had just entered the older version of the Google Analytics Tracking Code into my page html end of body. Here is the older version:

<script type="text/javascript" src=" http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js "></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-xxxxxx-x"
urchinTracker();
</script>

This took me about 1 1/2 hours to do then I found a newer version of the Google Analytics Tracking Code which is:

<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>


My question to you is should I add the newer version or keep the old version I had just installed. What happens if I leave the older version verses the newer version.

Any info will be very helpful.

Thank You, Paul gaswizard

No problems, no conflicts....actually may be of better value to "lesser" engines.

Vasili, Then I will leave the older version of the google analytics tracking code.
