Google Analytics if a free tool that allows you to track traffic to your Web site.

In order to use Google Analytics, you need to:

#Get a Google Analytics key;

Once you are logged-in on the Google Analytics page, click the '+Add new account' link on the right. Follow Google's instructions.

Once you reach the page with the Javascript code for you to paste into your site, look for the code that looks like "UA-00000000-0" right after GetTracker. Copy that code (without the quotes) and insert it in your Google Analytics Plugin's Tracking ID parameter. Don't forget to save the plugin page. You can find the Google Analytics Plugin at Joomla->Extensions->Plugin Manager->Google Analytics Bridge 2009.

Once Google has started collecting data, that icon will turn to a green check and you will be able to view your reports.

You can verify that the Google Analytics plugin is working properly by going to the home page of your site, viewing the source code, and checking that the Google Analytics code is present at the very bottom of the page.
