HOW TO Add Google Analytics to Your WordPress Blog

[glockman1727ak47]

Once i save the code. Wordpress deletes my opening and closing tag!

@glockman1727ak47 it even says HTML on the text thing so it should allow me to put in html CODE. WTF wordpress?

BRILLIANT! Plugins...waste of time! Especially when my theme supports footer widgets! Thanks a bunch! Contact me, i may even box you!

I didn't add a title, but the script still shows up on my page - is there a way to avoid this with a free template and being hosted on wordpress still?

Jesse- Thanks for the great video,was pulling my hair out trying to find "where" to place the code for analytics and WP- google never mentioned adding the text into a sidebar widget... Should have You Tubed first.. Next time I will go right to you for WP ?'s

@KerinDino Glad it helped. Yes, that's usually the trickiest part of the setup, figuring out where to put the code without having to muck around with the theme files. Happy Blogging!

The "Google Analytics" plugin works very well. That's the exact plugin name as available from the official WordPress plugin gallery.

Which Google Analytics WordPress dashboard plugin do you recommend?

[cinemaluna]

@phototristan I use the "Google Analytics" plugin by Bernardi. Sorry for the late response!
