Technical question about Sitemeter

Someone left the following comment over at my blog:


Hey, just noticed that your site meter isn't on your individual pages so you are probably really undercounting referred visits!

Not sure how you would do that on your site, but you can probably figure it out. According to Right Wing News it will really make a difference in your count.

Is this person correct? And if so, how do I go about fixing the problem?

Thanks in advance.

1 Put it in your individual entry template - just before the </body> tag.

2 Just to be clear, this is the Individual Entry Archive template that you're speaking about, correct?

3 Right.

4 I stuck it on all the archive template.

5 You can go for the cheese factor and put it in your comment pop-ups too.

6 That sounds like overkill, but what the heck.

Thanks for the help.

7 And you can put it right after your first body tag if you want to be sure to grab every person who even visits your page for a second (if they navigate away before your entire page loads and sitemeter counter is at the bottom, it won't get counted).
