Google Statistics (GA) is a free service that produces detailed research about the traffic and visitors to a weblog or web page. In addition to the usual traffic analytics (pageviews, visits, unique Visitors, jump rate, time on site etc.), GA also provides comprehensive stats on website/blog viewers, traffic sources, content, keywords and more.
Adding Google Analytics to a Blogger blog is easy, and it doesn’t even involve copy-pasting Javascripts.
I) Creating an account with Google Analytics
Go to Google Analytics, click the Sign-Up Now link on top right corner of the page and sign in to your Google Account.
On the next page click the Sign up button.
Next supply all the necessary details -account name, blog URL you wish to track, time zone, data sharing preferences, and your country or territory.
Read the terms of service and tick the “Yes, I agree to the above terms and conditions” checkbox.
Click Create Account button and you’ll be taken to Tracking Code Configuration tab.
The next step is to find the Web Property ID (a.k.a UA number) -a unique ID given to the account you just created. Disregard all other items in this tab, the only thing you need is the UA number.

7. Copy the UA number as you’ll need to paste it later on.
II) Installing Google Analytics on your blog
This is a two-step process. First you need to register the Web Property ID with Blogger, and then import the tracking code into your template.
Adding Google Analytics ID to your blog
If you are using the new Blogger interface, click the dropdown menu next to the name of the blog you wish to track and navigate to Settings > Other > Google Analytics. (For old interface, go to Settings > Basic > Google Analytics Web Property ID).
2. Paste in the UA number into the Google Analytics Web Property ID text box.
3. Click Save Settings.
Adding your tracking code
The following <include> tag will import your GA tracking code into your blog:
<b:include name='google-analytics' data='blog'/>
If you are using a latest Layout or Dynamic Views template from Template Designer gallery, you can skip the following steps because it already has the <include> tag built-in. The same applies to mobile templates.
But if you are using an older Layout template or a third party template you might need to add it into your template manually. Here’s how:
Go to Template > Edit HTML (for old interface it’s Design > Edit HTML) and locate the </body> tag.
Insert the code right above the tag (if the code isn’t already there).
Save your template.
It could take 24 hours before your first data to appear in your account.
