This module hasn't been updated in a long time. The tracking code uses the old URCHIN.JS, rather than the new(er) GA.JS.

I used to run this code on a client's website and it seemed like everything was fine. Recently, after installing it on a new site, it is tracking nothing; upon visiting the former site I had installed it on, it is also not tracking any of the statistics.
I look forward to an updated release of this module.

The module hasnt been updated since its first release in 2007.
Now Google uses advanced coding.
For the older legacy coding, this mod. functions great and installation is smooth and easy.

Installed the 1.5 version thinking that it would support the latest analytics code, only to find out that the 1.5 version has the old analytics code in it. Given the simplicity of the analytics code I'm surprised that it isn't possible to have one module support both.
However, it was really straightforward to modify the installed module for the new Google code.
Bottom line for me is that this saved me an hour of working out how to include the code myself, so thanks to the developer.

Just what I was looking for.
Installed in 5 seconds. One minute to find the module in my modules list (I have a lot of modules :) ). Five more seconds to enable and enter my code.
Done! One minute later Google confirms seeing it.

All I did was install the module, enter my google code and it was virtually instantly recognised by google, terrific.

I installed it followed the three instructions and was done. This worked just wounderful.

Pretty much installed and configured this module in a minute, and it worked like a charm. Thank you!

I had Google Anylitics setup at my Joomla 1.5 website within 5 minutes of arriving here ! Thats how easy it was. This is childs play. Highly recommended to all.

This extension works perfectly - just type in your Google Analytics code and set the module to debug position. I tried another 'easy to use' GA module which was so easy it didn't work - this is the one for you!

Installation and configuration were a breeze. Had the module installed and working in just a couple of minutes. Google picked up the info within minutes. Use the legacy urchin code, but it works and it's easy.

There's a thread on the forum about this with some suggestions, none of which worked for quite a few people of which I'm one and then discussion just ends without any further resolution suggestions.

Google Analytics Tracking Module for Virtuemart (Joomla! 1.0.x) is an excellent extension - and it is so easy to install and set up that it took me less than 30 seconds!
Google Analytics give you a wealth of information on your visitors and how they visit, browse and exit your site, but the code has to be installed on every page, and in the correct position.
Google Analytics Tracking Module from www.estimetemplates.com takes all the work out of this for you. All you need to do is insert your Analytics _uacct code which looks something like UA-246810-1, select the module position, and the module does the rest.
The Virtuemart version will also track your Virtuemart purches - brilliant!

Very very simple module, easy to install and configure and GA could see it immediately. I wish all modules were this simple - thanks!

You can't go wrong with Google Analytics. You get the stats you need and in a nice graphic format. This is an easy to use module to add Google Analytics code to your site.
Don't forget that Google updated the analytics code about 2 months ago, so grab the latest code for your site to make sure you benefit from all the features.

The module works great, it's nice and simple to use, easy to install, and leaves the holding of stats data to google, my first choice as I don't want to hold tracking data in my database, tracking data easily turns into an ugly huge monster.
Just one point, it fails W3C validation for XHTML (trans) due to incorrectly used slashes in the script declaration (not checked html validation), I run a charity website so accessability and standards compliency is importent to me (also being a web dev too), I believe using web standards on sites forces browser companies to support them (IE i'm looking at you!!) and also means your not running your browser in quirks mode too.
I have solved this if anyone wants the updated mod file, you can contact me through this site, I have also left a note on the forum of the creater pointing this out to them.
Now i'm using this module with validation so very happy with it indeed, great work keep it up!.

Great App works perfectly with Google Analytics, and places the code in the correct place. Make Sure when you are inputing your GA account number you include the "GA-" otherwise it will not work.

This is a easy to use module.
Some say put it in the Debug module position but if you have Debug disabled in your Global config it won't work (in my experience with RocketTheme Themes).
I just put it in a position that is at the bottom of the page such as footer or the last user module. Just look at your site preview in-line with positions and pick the best one for you.

Thanks for this, this is a really easy way to implement Google Analytics

This module makes it easy to ensure the Google Analytics code is correctly positioned within your Joomla! template. It performs exactly as advertised in my experience. Many thanks to the developers.
