Google Analytics is a free application offered by Google that allows you to track your website visitors and get in-depth analysis and reports on your website. To use Google Analytics, you just need to have a Google account, and if you already have a Gmail account or YouTube account, then you can probably use that same information to set up Google Analytics.
Using your Google account and your Google password, just sign in to Google Analytics and you will have to sign up again for Google Analytics, so just click on Sign Up here.
And the first thing you need to put in here is your website URL, so Im gonna put in my website URLand also to give your account a name.
Okay, and then you can select your time zone or territory, and also your time zone according to your local time, and then click on Continue.
Then provide Google with your last name and your first name, and then select a country or territory. Then click on Continue.
You can read through the Terms of Service for Google Analytics, and if youll agree, click on Yes, I agree to the terms and conditions, and then click on Create New Account. And there are several options here to track your website you can either track a single domain, or you can track one domain with multiple subdomains, or you can also track multiple top-level domains. And if youre a Google AdWords user, then you may want to combine your AdWords data with your Analytics data. Im gonna leave that blank for now.
So this is the code that you need to copy and paste into your WordPress blog or your website. Now, Im gonna show you how to do that.
In your WordPress dashboard, just click on Appearance and click on Editor to edit the current theme that you are using. All your theme files should be made writable, so if you see a message like this that says, You need to make this file writable then you need to set the correct permission settings via FTP to your WordPress theme.
