Google Analytics

[pwog]

Can someone tell me the best way (if possible at all) to add Google Analytics to the vBulletin pages?

You can use Cloudflare and use the addon/future, or this mod http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=289055.

Is there a way I can create a php file with the code in it and then put an include statement in the template for the footer? Or any other template that appears on each page?

I just put it in the footer template, near the bottom. Works fine for me.

Thanks!

I have it in the footer, but that does miss the archive pages. Where does one suggest we put it there?

For the main site, I would suggest putting it in the ad_footer_end template. This is normally a blank template and won't cause your footer template to be flagged as needing updates with new versions.

For the archive, if you're still using it, you would need to edit the files themselves. However the archive has long outlived its usefulness and modern indexing agents can read your forums just fine. People on mobile devices should be using the included mobile style.

Google recommends to place before </head>, therefore I believe the best place is headinclude_bottom template, but you can place it in footer or other templates, it should work well too.
