Just finished a plugin which lets you insert visitor tracking code in your wordpress site without having to touch your template. Just activate it, go to Options -> AWTP, insert your code there and click Update Options. Done!
Just tested it with Google Analytics, any other visitor tracker which gives you some mixture of HTML and JavaScript should work, too. Let me know how it works for you!
Installation:
Download and unzip into your wp-content/plugins folder.
Activate it in your Plugins Admin Panel.
Go to Options -> AWTP and insert your tracking code.
Don’t forget to click the update button.
Go to your wordpress homepage, or any subpage, reload it and look at the source code. Your tracking code should be there. If your tracking software lets you verify your tracking code installation, do that too.

the form stripped parts of the code snippet that I tried to include for documentation. The code was copied and pasted directly from Google analytics

Hi Tia, which WP version are you using? PHP? MySQL? There seem to be some constellations which cause this.
May 19th, 2007 at 6:19 pm
What tracking code are we suppose to paste?
May 19th, 2007 at 6:58 pm
Hi Sandra, you get the tracking code from your stats provider, like Google Analytics or statcounter.com
May 19th, 2007 at 8:18 pm
Oh, I thought your plugin was like tracking software. I use addfreestats and I pasted it in the sidebar just today. I don’t know if it will work there. Maybe you can visit http://afreerecipe.com and I’ll check it out. Is it better to do it with your plugin? What’s the difference? Thanks for your reply and help.
May 19th, 2007 at 9:11 pm
The difference is that you don’t have to edit your template. Just visited
May 19th, 2007 at 10:25 pm
Actually there’s more. I looked at the stats and it didn’t tell me what pages were visited, it just had the home pg 10 times. So I deleted the sidebar code and put the code in your plugin box, updated and clicked a bunch of pages. Voila’. Now you can see which pages were visited. I shouldn’t be tracking my own url, I’ll have to fix that, but it helped with this setup, so now I can see which pgs people are visiting!

does this add the urchintracker code to sidebar and footer links too?
thank you.

I am such an idiot, thought your plugin was to track visitors in general to the blog site. Didn’t know that i needed a tracking program from another domain/site. hehe.
If you know any of these, could you let me know?
Thanks!

Hi, I’m looking for some advice. I have Google analytics up and running on my web site (http://oncombat.net), but seem to be getting no info on my blog (http://oncombat.net/blog/). Do I need to slide your code into the blog or should analytics be tracking it because it’s a child of my main domain name?
Will I have to put it in more than one place in the blog to track the whole thing?
Thanks,
Bill

I downloaded and saved the .php file and uploaded it to my wp-content/plugins folder, but it’s not showing up in the plugins list on Wordpress. I’m using v2.2 Any suggestions?
By the way, yours is the fourth plugin I’ve tried for linking to Google Analytics, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this doesn’t work. I might be my theme or something…
July 25th, 2007 at 7:08 pm
Try this link http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/another-wordpress-tracker-plugin.zip
Unzip into your wp-content/plugins folder. It works with 2.2.1 on several blogs of mine …
July 25th, 2007 at 9:18 pm
No dice. I got the plugin activated, but I think it must be a problem with my theme. I’m using Veryplaintxt (http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/veryplaintxt/), for what it’s worth. Thanks for your help.
July 26th, 2007 at 6:25 am
Before I dive into the theme, please check whether the analytics code appears in the source of your pages. If not, please check that it calls wp_footer() in footer.php.
July 26th, 2007 at 6:29 am
Just tried veryplaintxt and used the string ’some tracking code’ as tracking code, and it got output. So the basic working is there.

Hello-
I just installed your plug-in and tried to set up google analytics. I set it up on the blog and not on my homepage http://www.cultureserve.net (hosted by yahoo). However, I got this message:
Profile Name: cultureserve.net/blog
Website URL: cultureserve.net/blog
Tracking Unknown (Last checked: 2007-09-10 4:51 PM PST.)
The Google Analytics tracking code has not been detected on your website’s home page. For Analytics to function, you or your web administrator must add the code to each page of your website.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

@Diana: Just released 1.1, if you could update it could give me some hints what’s happening. I also noticed you’re using wp-cache, this could interfere. Please test without. If it’s still not working you should try the default theme.
Important: I guess Google Analytics will only check your main URL. So if your blog isn’t the main URL the test will never succeed. But we can see whether it’s active or not by looking at the source of your page.
September 11th, 2007 at 2:46 pm
Thanks uberdose, i have a couple questions first: How do I look at the source of my page? How do I test without wp-cache? I downloaded it last night, is version 1.1 new today? I guess I will have to hook it up to my homepage. I read commentor #41’s issue, that’s why I linked to my blog and not the homepage.
Thanks again!
September 12th, 2007 at 8:10 am
@Diana: There are many different browsers around, and I don’t know yours, but something like “View - Source” from the menu should do it, on Windows Firefox you can press Ctl-U. 1.1 is the current version, but I don’t see it active on your blog. If you have enabled wp-cache you should be able to disable it in a similar way, I don’t know whether just disabling it from the plugins menu suffices. Anyway, Google Analytics can only track the pages where you have the tracking code installed. If you use this plugin it will make sure that it appear on all your blog pages. If it does not appear, but you have enabled it and set the tracking code, it’s likely that your theme doesn’t have the necessary wordpress standard call to wp_head(). In that case try with the default theme whether it works, then adjust your theme accordingly.
