Blog Stats Help!

Okay, so after installing the WordPress Blog Stats plugin, I wasnt retrieving any data. I went into the Design and added the following to footer.php file from the wordpress dashboard as follows:

<?php wp_footer(); ?>
<?php do_action(‘wp_footer’); ?>

The original footer did not say </body> before or after so I enclosed the section within </body> and am still not receiving any stats (although I know many people going to it. Whats the issue?
