Is my code for correct for having two accounts for

Question

I have a website, and it already has the following tracking code:

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxxx-1']);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();

Now I need to add tracking to another account. Is the following code right? (I just inserted a line for UA-yyyyyyyy-1 without changing anything else)

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxxx-1']);
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-yyyyyyyy-1']);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();

Update

Followed this link: How to track multiple accounts using NEW analytics.js?

Created similar code as follows. It seems working. Any possible issue?

<script>
  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');

  ga('create', 'UA-xxxxxxxxx-1', 'auto');
  ga('create', 'UA-yyyyyyyyy-1', {'name':'b'});
  ga('send', 'pageview');
  ga('b.send', 'pageview');
</script>

Answer 1

No, your code will track only for UA-yyyyyyyy-1 property. Change the code like below:

var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview','UA-xxxxxxxx-1']);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview','UA-yyyyyyyy-1']);
  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();

This will send the two pageview hits, one to UA-yyyyyyyy-1 and other to UA-xxxxxxxx-1.

Debug / Validate

The code is very easy to validate. Steps for Chrome browser:

• Right click on any web page, inspect.
• Go to console tab, paste the above code and press enter.
• Go to network tab, and you will see two separate requests (__utm.gif) sent for UA-yyyyyyyy-1 and UA-xxxxxxxx-1.
