I am trying to get google analytics working on a typepad blog. I created a sidebar widget and inserted the code (I read it should/could be done like this).

Therefore the tracking is on every page. When I log into analytics, it reports 5 visitors, when the blog gets thousands a day.

I checked and the code is getting found at the bottom of the page's source code, should it be higher?

This is the code:

<li class="module-list-item"><a href=""></a><br /><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">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-MY-ID");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script></li>

Am I doing something wrong or does someone have a better way to do this?

Did you verify in Meta tag?

No, I think I added the html file. It does say verified however only 5 visits.

Another piece of information. Is we set it up for website.com (which is a cname of website.typepad.com), maybe this could also be an issue.

We changed it, but still not working.

Is website.typepad.com set 100%? or you have your domain?

If I go to www.domain.com , I can see the blog however I can also access from domain.typead.com. What do you mean by set? Its a fixed address

I'm honest but do not know 100% how google behave in case SUB domain and MAIN domain. Is seen domain.typepad.com to user or this is just FTP folder created when you have installed typepad.com blog?

See more information at URL:
[getstarted.typepad.com...]
[support.typepad.com...]

Maybe it will help you more information...
