How to Implement Google Analytics in SDL tridion web sites?

Question

My Options :

1. include the analytics code in page templates or CTs.

2. create a component contains the analytic code and render it in Comonent presentation of the page.

which could be better or please suggest any other way out.

Answer 1

The first approach is normally preferable, since it allows you to include information about a component or page in your call to Google Analytics. And you may not even have to write it yourself, since there is a free extension called the Web Analytics Enabler, which is available here. I recommend that you check that out first.
