! Important ! Do not use this EXAMPLE CODE !
Now you or your webmaster can integrate the enhanced Google Analytics HTML code into the source code of all frontend pages of your website.
If you use a content management system (CMS) such as Typo3, Joomla, Redaxo or WordPress, you must integrate the snippet in the frontend templates. Many of these CMS also have plug-ins (extensions) for Analytics integration on the Web.
The position of the Analytics snippet is important: the tracking code belongs in the header area, ideally directly at the beginning of the <head>. There have been other best practices in the past – e.g. the end or the beginning of the <body> or directly before the closing </head> tag. All this is no longer valid.
