Google analytics code after </html>

I just found out that my webmaster placed the analytics code wrong, I guess:

It's at the end of the source code and after </html> placed:

</html>

<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject'].....................
..................................
..............................

</script>

How does it affect my ranking?
#&lt or html&gt #< or html> #analytics #code #google

    Probably it will not affect your ranking (although sites with clean HTML are preferred), but it will make your HTML to be invalid when you try to validate your site with http://validator.w3.org/

    You'll be fine and your rankings will not be affected. Now that you're aware of the problem just move it back to the correct space.

    Also, if you're using the new asynchronous code it should be placed in the header.
