2. After that, sign in and click the "add website profile" button.
3. Enter the URL of your blog and click next.
4. Google gives you a tracking javascript code to place to your blog.
5. Sign in to blogger and open the edit template window.
6. Go to the end of the template code and find the < /body > tag.
   
7. Place the code exactly before the < /body > tag (this is recommended for the tracking to work properly).
8. After you place the code, click save settings and republish your blog for the changes to take effect.
9. Now go to Google analytics again and click done. After clicking done the main page of your analytics account loads, where you can see that the tracking is installed, and that analytics is waiting for data from your site. Usually it takes up to 24 hours for the first data to appear in anlytics. After that data are updated every 8-10 hours.
