I have a wordpress site that does not allow easy implementation of analytics. Does anyone know a good way to implement analytics w/ wordpress blogs that don't inherently allow it??? Help is really appreciated. Thanks!
You can install this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/ It will automatically tracks and segments all outbound links from within posts, comment author links, links within comments, blogroll links and downloads. It also allows you to track AdSense clicks, add extra search engines, track image search queries etc...
You can simply paste the analytics code generated form analytics site just above the </body> tag in your footer.php - thats it - no need of a plugin for doing this - but if you are afraid to play a little with code part, go for the plugin.
I prefer to use plugin for my wordpress blog. You must be careful when adding your analytics ID, it must be exactly same.
