In my case I didn't bother with any additional details and I recommend that your don't either based on your experience. Best to just go with the default options.

Copy and paste the following snippet on the last line just before </body>.

<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X']);
_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>


Also ensure that you fill UA-XXXXX- with the user-id issued by Google Analytics.
