Google Analytics is an excellent tool for tracking your website statistics and for understanding the natures and behaviour of your traffic. If you have a WordPress blog then it is straightforward to enable GA on your site as there are a number of plugins that allow you to do this really easily. In this post I will speak specifically about the WP Google Analytics plugin that I use the most.

Finding the Google Analytics Plugin

Then click on the Add New link.

You are then presented with the Install Plugins window. The Plugin that we are going to install is WP Google Analytics. Type this into the search window. You will be presented with a list of plugins. The one you want is WP Google Analytics.

Click on the Install button to the right of the plugin description. Go on don’t be scared it wont hurt. v When prompted by the pop window Clic Install Now. this just installs the plugin on your WordPress installation. When the install completes (only takes a few seconds) then you need to Active the Plugin. Select Activate Plugin from the options presented below.

Adding Your Google Analytics Code
Nearly there. The plugin is now activated and you need to set it up with your Google Analytics code. Click on Settings on the right hand panel and you should see the Google Analytics plugin at the botton.
Click on Google Analytics and you will be presented with a window to post your Google Analytics code into its own window. If you do not have not set up a Google Analytics account and do not have a code do not worry, in my next post I will show how to do this and get the code. PAste in your GA code and the click Update Options. All your pages and posts will now have this code automatically at the end of them.
