 * Hi there,
 * I installed the plugin in a couple of days ago, but it’s having no effect on 
   my website’s bounce rate. Is there something else I need to do to activate it,
   what’s the problem?

 * Kindest regards,

 * Hi Scott,
 * I think you’ve missed the Options page. I see that you still use the old Analytics
   code (ga.js), but on the Options page under Tracking Code you choose analytics.
   js.
 * Just read under Tracking Code on the settings page and you’ll be fine.
 * You might want to consider using the new Analytics tracking code
 * Cheers!

 * Hi mate,
 * thanks I had no idea,
 * I changed it so we’ll see if that has an impact and helps it adjust,
 * I’ll let you know,

 * Hi Scott,
 * If you have enough visitors to your website you should be able to see the plugin
   working in Analytics under Real Time -> Events. At least the Event Category “
   Time” should be there.

 * Hi,
 * So it still doesn’t seem to be having any impact on the bounce rate, how long
   should it take before I start seeing results?

 * Should be immediately. Try to put the Analytics code after the plugin’s code.
   The Analytics code should be the last code before the </head> element.

 * Nope I’m not having any luck with this plugin, it’s pretty complicated, I was
   really hoping it was just a case of downloading it and activating it,
 * not to worry, thanks for trying to help anyway.

 * It should work. Have you already tried to put the Analytics code after the plugin’s
   code? The Analytics code should be the last code before the </head> element. 
   On your website the plugin’s code comes still after the Analytics code.
 * Btw plug-and-play is a bit hard, because there are different types of Analytics
   codes.

 * I’m not a programmer, what does the plugin code look like?

 * This is the Analytics code you’re using.
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">
   
         var _gaq = _gaq || [];
         _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxxx-1']);
         _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
   
         (function() {
           var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
           ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
           var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
         })();
   
       </script>
       ```
   
 * How do you add it to your website now?
