How to Place Analytics in Blogger

Google Analytics is a free website statistic service provided with your Google account. Blogger is also a free blogging platform that is provided with your Google account. You can install Google Analytics on your Blogger blog to view information about your blog such as how many visits your blog gets, what other sites on the Internet direct visitors to your blog and what search engine queries visitors use to find your blog. To do this, you must place the Google Analytics tracking code in your Blogger template.

8. Right-click above the "</body>" tag within the HTML code and select "Paste" from the menu. This will place a copy of your Analytics code into your Blogger template.
