Google Analytics and WordPress – A Quick ‘n Dirty Guide
Getting With Google Analytics
Once you’ve obtained or signed into your Google Account (either through GMail, Google Premiere Apps, etc), visit the Google Analytics website at: http://www.google.com/analytics.
Adding a New Account
Get started by entering in the basic details of the website that you wish to track. You will also fill in some additional details on the following screens.
Tracking Instructions
Once you’ve put in the basic information required, Google Analytics will give you back some JavaScript code that you can paste into the footer of the pages of your website that you wish to track – but if you’re using WordPress, you can do something far more clever than that. Copy the tracking code from the window provided and put it in a safe place. Time to move on to WordPress.
