Jean,

If I recall correctly, one only needs to know the google code to put the
odf-funding adverts up on their own site.  Although I can't promise much
traffic, I think having the money directed to a ODF account would be
more beneficial than slowly filling up my own account.

Could you let me know the GA code for ODF and then I can put that on my
sites instead of my own code.

Regards,

Andy Loughran
