 * HI. This may seem like a stupid question but after installing this plugin, I 
   cannot find where to enter my Google Analytics tracking code.
 * Can someone shed some light or do I need to manually install in the PHP function
   for the header?

 * Hi
 * I’ve got the same problem – after installing and activating the plug-in I didn’t
   get a message at the top of the screen asking me to configure (Step 6 of installation
   guide). However, I’ve successfully linked to my Google Analytics account but 
   I can’t find any instructions in the plug-in about where to enter the tracking
   script.

 * Look in the upper left corner. There is a tab called “Analytics”. Within this
   tab choose the “Default” tab. Simply connect your Google Account and then choose
   the property from the dropdown list that appears.
    Or check the “Enter UA manually”
   box. This will show a textfield where you can put the UA code.
 * It is not necessary to copy any javascript code! This is done by the plugin.

 * Hi. Can you include a screen shot of what you mean as I do not see a TAB titled“
   Analytics” when I load the Dashboard nor do I see a place to enter UA code manually?
   The only thing I see is entering a code for Google Webmaster Tools
 * Meantime to pagallery, since Yoast plugin does not seem to have this feature,
   I installed a Header/Footer plugin that allows me to paste the Google Analytics
   tracking code into the header.
 * Thanks / Don
