Very simple plugin for reliably inserting your Google Analytics tracking code on every page.

This is a bare bones option for people who are looking to simply insert the basic Google Analytics tracking code into the head section of every page without any fuss.
I’ve only included the essential options; it’s not very exciting, but works reliably.
Donations are graciously accepted to support the continued development and maintenance of this and other plugins. We currently accept Paypal and kind words.
This plugin in spite of its simplicity appears to be outdated: I inserted my UA number (that Google assigned to my site) and the plugin accepted only the first 8 digits out of 9…. I realized that only after some days, when the statistics of my site were still stuck to zero!!
In addition to that, the support appears to be discontinued since some years.
If not updated, I think it better should to be removed from the repository, because it is completely useless and to be replaced by another plugin.
Plugin still works if your UA number does not exceed 99,999,999.
Just insert the tracking ID and choose placement! Works great.
Nothing fancy, just works.
Fill in Google Analytics UA-code and done!
Thanks, it’s just what I need!
It does what it must do super simple and it earned it especially good for beginners
