Simple Google Analytics is an updated, really free, and lightweight plugin that makes it easy to add the Google Universal Analytics tracking code to your WordPress web property.

Simple Google Analytics Includes the latest features of Universal Google Analytics including:

• Interests Reporting
• Display and Search Remarketing

• Go to Plugins -> Add New, find our plugin and click on “Install Now”, and activate it. Optionally, click on “Upload Plugin”, upload our plugin, and activate it.
• After setting up Google Analytics for your web property, you will be provided with a Universal Analytics Tracking ID. You simply paste this ID into this plugin’s settings page and we will implement the tracking code for you.

Does this plugin support Google Tag Manager?

Not yet. Google Tag Manager is a great product if you are doing a lot of web analytics and need an easy way to add a lot of tags for tracking many variables. Using Google Tag Manager requires implementing different code on your web property which this plugin does not yet support.

Does this plugin support the User-ID feature?

Sort of. Google User-ID allows you to send your site’s unique ID for a visitor to Google Analytics to help combine the data on individual users across multiple devices. Since WordPress doesn’t generate a unique ID for visitors out of the box, this would require working with another plugin that probably should be handling the Universal Analytics for you instead of this plugin. However, that plugin could also pass in a User-ID for your tracking snippet in this plugin using the ‘fiercegeek_qa_user_id’ filter.
