Explanation
Google Analytics is a statistics service provided
free of charge by Google. This plugin simplifies
the process of including the basic Google
Analytics code in your blog, so you don't have to
edit any PHP. If you don't have a Google Analytics
account yet, you can get one at
analytics.google.com.
In the Google interface, when you "Add Website
Profile" you are shown a piece of JavaScript that
you are told to insert into the page, in that script is a
unique string that identifies the website you
just defined, that is your User Account string
(it's shown in bold in the example below).
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>
Once you have entered your User Account String in
the box above your pages will be trackable by
Google Analytics.
