Asynchronous Google Analytics Snippet Placement

Hi!  I would like to know best practice of where to put the async GA snippet on Marketo landing pages?  The templated script has a comment block for it at the bottom of the blody but I believe this is for the older GA script as Google now recommends it should go at the bottom of the header. 

Thanks!

Follow what Google recommends.  Really there is not much of a downside on this one either will work but for easy of implementation, follow the rec.

Cheers,
Eric

Re: Asynchronous Google Analytics Snippet Placement

I too am interested in this. We're using the async script but I have it at the end of the body as the landing page templates instruct.  I can't tell for sure if I'm losing traffic data on the GA side, but I'm equally concerned about the alternative- having the code in the head and have it interfere with Marketo's tracking. Has anyone experimented with this or have a definitive answer?

Jeff,

I switched my website over to the async code over a year ago with no problems and the month to month and yearly  numbers were inline with our norms.  There is no way to prove it definatively without a second monitoring system using another tool or serverside logs.

Cheers,
Eric
