I wanted to install Google Analytics on my Website, to monitor the traffic to my website. I am new to both Google Analytics and Wordpress, but to my surprise I found out installing Google Analytics on wordpress is very simple.
All you need to do is
(1) Register with Google Analytics by clicking here
(2) Create a profile for your website by selecting the Radio button “Add profile for a new domain”.
(3) You would be provided with a Tracking code to be pasted in wordpress.
(4) Now download wordpress plugin from here.
(5) Unzip the plugin and upload the folder to /wp-content/plugins
(6) Now go to the WordPress Dashboard and click on “Plugins” and Activate the “Google Analyticator” plugin.
(7) After activating the plugin , go to Setting and select Google Analytics.
(8) Paste the code that you got in Step (3) in the textbox provided to paste the code. Please paste the New Tracking Code (ga.js).
(9) Then Click on Update Options.
(10) Allow some time for your website to sync up with Google Analytics, go back to Google Analytics, beside your profile if you see a “Green Tick” then it means Google Analytics is able to receive data from your website.
Best of luck tracking your visitors
