@Rajesh

You can add GA code in header or footer. New asynchronous code that GA has out now prefers the header where you would normally put all other js. Basically, it depends on how the site is set up to begin with. If it has an include of some kind for the header, you are all set and you can put it there.

Hello jen,

Congrats on passing the certificate.

I am SEO from past 3 years, now i joined a new company where all the websites are developed in Coldfusion which is totally new to me. I am trying to learn it in bits & pieces, nice to see expert like you here. I wanted to know how can i add Google analytic code in my website to track whats going on with it(visitors, conversion)
Thanks in Advance.

@vad
If you study using CF Exam Buster, you will be OK. If anything stood out it was the XML functions but they are covered by Exam Buster.

@David

I used Exam Buster and looked up anything I missed or was completely clueless on in the online documentation.

Hit Exam Buster hard. Do all the tests over and over again. Then generate a few random ones (can be done in Exam Buster) and once you are consistently hitting the 90's with your scores, schedule your test.

Good luck.

Jen,
Did you just use exam buster and online free material to study for the exam? What resources did you use besides exam buster? I'm off to buy exam buster. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, William. It does set me apart at work although all I might get from them is reimbursement for the test fees. It's just as difficult here to get a raise probably because it's the same type of environment with contract work. I loved studying for it. Learning is cool; felt like I was really using my brain again.

Congrats, Jen! I remember how excited I was when I passed the ColdFusion MX exam and got the "Advanced" badge like you. Not only is the exam a good resume builder but it allowed me to bargain for a big pay raise since I had objective proof that my coding skills were legit. And you know how tough a pay raise was to get a SPC!
