Hi,

Hope this helps,

 

This is for wordpress hosted sites. What about blogs which are hosted on wordpress domain...like //feistypad.wordpress.com

 

I think it's not possible for wordpress.com blogs, but you have the Site Stats there in the admin panel instead of G Analytics.

 

here is a small tutorial on a wordpress blog on how to do this check it out

select your theme in wordpress. open footer.php in edit mode. copy the google analytics code. paste it just over the </body> tag.

that's it. you are done

 

search within the Wordpress dashboard help section!

 

hello,

Login to your wordpress account, in the Appearance menu click Editor, then click on footer.php or header.php (now, google recommends to insert it in header) and insert the code.

 

There is a plugin that let you to easily add google analytics to your wordpress blog.

 

In Wordpress, go to the administrative panel where you install new plugins. Search for this plugin and install it "Google analytics".
You can set the options for Google analytics here. You can also link your existing GA account to this plugin.

I use this plugin and it works.
