Why can't I connect Google webmaster tools to GA?

[Ideas-Money-Art]

I have a client that just launched a new subdomain and I would like to use webmaster tools for it. The root domain has a webmaster tools installed and verified with the GA method.

When I tried to verify the subdomain using the GA method, it wasn't able to verify. The GATC has an asynchronous snippet, is located before the and I am an admin to this account.

The only thing that might caused the issue is that the codes is displayed with a link opening up to a different page that displays the entire code:

Do you guys think this is the issue? If it is can you let me know why?

Separate question: In the long run will it harm data collection especially since I am able to collect data this way?

Thanks Mozzers!

It is definitely the issue that you load the Google Analytics tracking code with a Javascript file which is causing you issues to connect Google Webmaster Tools with your GA account as the checker only checks the code and is not loading the external javascript files.

Btw, this would not hurt your normal data collection but only prevents you from connecting the two accounts.
