[solved] Google Analytics : Tracking not installed

I have been using Google analytics for over four years. I was quiet proficient at integrating analytics code and used it in more than one site (for example, http://get-a-solution.blogspot.com). However, recently I faced problem at google analytics integration and it was really disgusting. I copied the tracking code from analytics, paste it before the closing head () tag like I did on my other site. But it did not work. The following error showed up :"Tracking Not InstalledLast checked: Jul 14, 2012 9:27:34 PM PDTThe Google Analytics tracking code has not been detected on your website's home page. For Analytics to function, you or your web administrator must add the code to each page of your website."



 Analytics kept telling me tracking is not installed. I waited for few hours, refreshed analytics page repeatedly and checking the page source of my website to see if everything is okay.
And everything was okay (!) in my page. I googled this problem and found mistakes other folks had been doing. I did not put wrong code, did  not change profile id, did not disable javascript, did not put wrong URL at analytics settings. The online solutions were not applicable for me. I got frustrated due to repeated failure.

Then it occurs to me, almost suddenly. I have chosen a naked domain name for my site. It was http://shoppingdhaka.com . It will work fine when you type http://www.shoppingdhaka.com at the browser. But it is really a naked domain, meaning you actually do not have that WWW in the domain name. And this was actually my mistake. I put a WWW in the analytics sprofile url box. 

The tracking not installed message was gone seconds after I removed that WWW from my URL. See the image below to find where I made the change.

See that default URL box? Just remove the WWW from this box. So www.dhakashopping.com should be just "dhakashopping.com". It will work if you make no other mistakes.
