 * I do not see the typical google tracking code anywhere in the source code of 
   the site that I’m using Better Analytics with. There are no other google analytics
   or SEO plugins installed on the site.
 * All I see on each page is a single line in the footer with the GA tracking code
   in it (but no script). Google Analytics is also saying that there is not tracking
   code installed. However, the readings in the Better Analytics graphs in the WP
   admin do match the Jetpack readouts. So it is tracking the traffic correctly.
 * How does this plugin relate with the Google tracking code? Is this plugin supposed
   to add Google analytics tracking code to each page of a site? Or do I need to
   have the GA tracking code added through another plugin? What is the single line
   of code in the footer with the GA tracking number (but not the code) in it? Does
   Better Analytics not need the GA script tracking code inside each page for tracking
   to work?

 * You do not need to add your own Google Analytics code. The plugin has all the
   code needed within the “loader” JavaScript file. It makes things faster when 
   you have a single file that can be cached, rather than loading all the JS code
   into the source of every page.
