I think you could put it in overall_footer.tpl, or overall_header.tpl That would add it for every page on your forum.

if you want it to track also the smilies page and things like that, also put code in simple_header.tpl or simple_footer.tpl

If you put the code in only index.html, then you'll only get statistics for index.html.

I wouldn't say there was much, but when I load some webpages, I can see the Analytics URL loading - so it must use some time. Not enough to worry about though.

Analytics is one of the best free services. StatCounter is pretty good, but only stores up to 100 detailed information stat. Analytics stores up to 5 million, and is unlimited if you have an AdWords account.

If you actually read the Anayltics instructions, for a site like the original posters, he only needs to put it in one spot. Since his pages are DYNAMIC, he only needs to plce it just above the </body> tag in the TEMPLATES footer (depending on how your template is setup). Simply put, just find the </body> tag in either the main content or footer of your template and place it there. That will cover your entire site (that is part of the template).
