    Start at google.com/analytics. Create an account for yourself. Your login will be your email address. If you are going to use any other Google products - Adwords, Adsense, Webmaster Tools, etc - it might make it easier to put them all in the same account, using the same email address as a login id. It will lead you through the setup process. Give it your domain name and answer the prompts. Most of the things can be changed later. When you've gotten though the basics, it will give you a snippet of code. Add this to all the pages of your website. Click Check Status and Analytics will confirm that it can see your code on your home page. Then each time someone opens your pages in a browser, data is sent in to Analytics. After a day or two, go into Analytics and look at the data being collected.

    If it's a WordPress site, all you need is a plug-in that will do ALL of the work for you.

    1) Login to google analytics
    2) add a new domain then create an new profile in it.
    3) Add the tracking code given after adding the profile before </body> of the pages you want to track.
    4) Once you put the code and upload on server, It will automatically verify and start tracking.
