Description
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.

Possibly, I’m trying to keep this as simple as possible, but if it’s a really useful/uncomplicated feature that I’ve omitted I will definitely consider it.

This plugin in spite of its simplicity appears to be outdated: I inserted my UA number (that Google assigned to my site) and the plugin accepted only the first 8 digits out of 9….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.
