I have tried to install google analytics on site http://vykup-bronzu.sk.
Problem is that, it still shows "Not installed" status for tracking code.
I have figure out some google searching and using GA debuger, but still no idea where the problem is :(
Tracking code is in head tag.
Debuger result:
_gaq.push processing "_setAccount" for args: "[UA-34054138-1]": ga_debug.js:18 _gaq.push processing "_trackPageview" for args: "[]": ga_debug.js:18 Track Pageview ga_debug.js:18 Tracking beacon sent! utmwv=5.3.4d&utms=7&utmn=197771223&utmhn=vykup-bronzu.sk&utmcs=UTF-8&utmsr=1440x900&utmvp=1423x355&utmsc=32-bit&utmul=sk&utmje=1&utmfl=11.3%20r31&utmdt=V%C3%BDkup%20bronzu%20%7C%20Lutoby%20s.r.o.&utmhid=264692647&utmr=-&utmp=%2F&utmac=UA-34054138-1&utmcc=__utma%3D251021313.380013673.1344828700.1344828700.1344828700.1%3B%2B__utmz%3D251021313.1344828700.1.1.utmcsr%3D(direct)%7Cutmccn%3D(direct)%7Cutmcmd%3D(none)%3B&utmu=q~ ga_debug.js:18 Account ID : UA-34054138-1 Page Title : Výkup bronzu | Lutoby s.r.o.

Same problem, some fixes:
1) It might show not installed, and still be installed and providing information. It's a b**ch.
2) Another JS script might be failing before the execution of the GA script, which makes the GA script show these kind of errors. To check that, you can use firebug console.
3) It's clear to me that not only analytics, but other google technologies and software are being modified and extended. Ex: Angular.Js During the last year I found and reported a few many problems. I wouldn't trust too much on GA results either.
3) Personal advice: Download an alternative like Piwik.

I also had the same problem. I deployed the analytic code as instructed but I was seeing the status as "tracking code not installed". So I left it as it is for a day and checked the status next day. Next day also, it was showing same status but it was also showing the visitor's data. So I guess it takes a while to update the status as in my case it is still showing "not intalled" status. BTW I have installed analytic yesterday only :-)
On second day status was also updated to "receiving data". So I think it takes a day to update that flag status.

Once you find the code snippet, copy and paste it into your web page, just before the closing tag*. If your website uses templates to generate pages, enter it just before the closing tag in the file that contains the section. (Most websites re-use one file for common content, so it's likely that you won't have to place the code snippet on every single page of your website.)
From your link. Clearly, you're supposed to install it WITHIN the head section.

You've installed it within the <head>
