Its Google Analytics tracker code.

Quote from this link: http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55591

Google Analytics shows you how people found your site, how they explored it, and how you can enhance their visitor experience. With this information, you can improve your website return on investment, increase conversions, and make more money on the web. This guide can help you familiarize yourself with the main features of Google Analytics.

Now, this page suggest the use of your mentioned code: http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55488
