I have used GA to track a few other sites, please see https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1008080?hl=en&utm_id=ad for setting up the tracking code: "Paste your snippet (unaltered, in it’s entirety) into every web page you want to track. Paste it immediately before the closing </head> tag. If your website uses templates to generate pages, enter it just before the closing tag in the file that contains the the <head> section." I alway needed to do the above for the tracking to work. > >> 2.
