Browser won't execute "_gat._getTracker" until the ga.js is fully loaded and processed anyway, that's the rules. And if "ga.js" cannot be loaded due to this ad blocker or network error, then all you really need is typeof check and that's it. Timeout does not do anything here.

"https://ssl." : "http://www."); document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E")); var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-2721574-3"); pageTracker._initData(); pageTracker._trackPageview(); When doing my cut/paste, I thought it was silly to close the script then re-open, so I removed lines 4 & 5 putting them back solved the problem... I guess it changes sth for the execution time! I had the same error message, and it was solved (strangely) by keeping the javascript code divided into 2 SCRIPT tags :

var gaJsHost = ((“https:” == document.location.protocol) ? “https://ssl.” : “http://www.”);
document.write(unescape(“%3Cscript src=’” + gaJsHost + “google-analytics.com/ga.js’ type=’text/javascript’%3E%3C/script%3E”));

var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(“UA-2721574-3″);
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();

When doing my cut/paste, I thought it was silly to close the script then re-open, so I removed lines 4 & 5

putting them back solved the problem… I guess it changes sth for the execution time!

You are right - I personally don't track anything here at wordpress (say: this blog is hosted at vpx.wordpress.com). But a good hint to the wordpress dev team ;) Thanks Alan.

It worked for me. Although I'm getting a "_gat is not defined" for your site. http://i365.photobucket.com/albums/oo99/alanr1979/Untitled5.png Maybe this is out of your control and is handled by the Wordpress guys.
