How to Sign up with Google Analytics
Step 1: First you would need to create a Google Analytics account. To do this, visit Google Analytics Signup Page.
You will see a screen like the one below. If you already have a Gmail account, then use that to sign-in with. If you do not have a Gmail account, then you would have to create an account for yourself.


Step 2: Once you sign-in with your Gmail account, you will be prompted to a screen like the one below. This is where you will signup for Google analytics with your Gmail account.
Step 3: On the next screen, you will be given choice to choose between website or mobile app. Make sure website is selected.
Currently, Google is offering a Universal Access account, which is in beta and comes with extra features and a classic analytics account. Feel free to choose either of them. Even if you choose classic analytics, you will be upgraded to new features once they come out of beta.
Rest of the information required on the page are quite self-explanatory. You enter your Website’s URL, Account name (it can be anything that you like), country, and the time zone.
Once you have entered this information click on the Get Tracking ID button. You will be presented with Google Analytics terms and service which you must agree to, so click on I Agree button.
Step 4: Now you will be presented with Google Analytics tracking code. Copy this tracking code because you will need to enter it in your Blogger.com site.
Leave the analytics browser tab open as you will need to revisit it, once you have installed the code on your Blogger.com site.

Step 5: Copy the code that you received in Step 4, and go to settings. Once you click others, you will be asked to provide an Analytics Web Property ID. After pasting the tracking ID or code, please click save settings.

You can now click on the Reporting tab to see your site’s analytics overview. It takes Google up to 12 – 24 hours to start providing you with the awesome site stats that you need. 

However, you can click Overview under the Real-time tab and find that Google Analytics actually works since you are actually on the site - the real-time statistics is 1.

  1. I am not a smart person. I do not think that this explanation is enough. I wish there are pictures for every step and exact widows where person to needs to click. There are many settings for example. It would be helpful if there is more concrete descriptions, not just general explanations such as :"once click others...", it does not say at first for what site, second or what menu.
    It is clear that the person who wrote this guide is really smart, and I do not understand and I cannot follow him at all.
    On the other hand, the guide should be understood from everyone.

  2. There are many ways to create a website but however with certain restrictions. Best way I would like to suggest is to know the basics of web designing with html and css and then start creating the website of you choice. #www.bynd.co.in
