How to add Google Analytics code on Drupal 7

I want to add my Google Analytics code to my Drupal site without using a module. I have read the topics related to this, but I cannot do this on my website. I want to put my code in the <head></head> . Here is my code:

 <script type="text/javascript"> var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXX-X']); _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'example.com']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://' : 'http://') + 'stats.g.doubleclick.net/dc.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })(); </script>

Open the modules/system folder in your Drupal installation, then copy the html.tpl.php file to your theme directory. Add the code you like to the file and save.

Remember to clear the cache.

On the Drupal site, you want to insert additional javascript using the drupal_add_js function inside the THEME_preprocess_html function in the template.php file. This allows you to cache your site correctly. In particular, it will look like this:

 <?php function THEME_preprocess_html(&$variables) { $ga = "var _gaq = _gaq || [];\n"; $ga .= "_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXX-X']);\n"; $ga .= "_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'example.com']);\n"; $ga .= "_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);\n"; $ga .= "(function() {\n"; $ga .= " var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;\n"; $ga .= " ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';\n"; $ga .= " var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);\n"; $ga .= "})();\n"; drupal_add_js($ga, array('type' => 'inline', 'scope' => 'header')); } ?>

Be sure to replace the UA identifier and website name with yours. Also, be sure to rename THEME to your theme and clear the cache when done.
