• Now you get to a page with the title "Analytics: New Account Signup", where you have to enter some general information.
  1. The domain name of your Website (e.g. www.mydomain.com) as well as the protocol http or https.
  2. A name for your account (e.g. the name of your Website).
  3. The name of your country or territory.
  4. The time zone.
  Last click on "Continue" in order to continue.
  
• On the next page again with the title "Analytics: New Account Signup" you have to enter some personal information.
  1. Your last name.
  2. Your first name.
  3. A telephone number.
  4. The country you live in.
  Last click on "Continue" in order to continue.
  
  
• On the next page you have to agree with the terms of use, where you click on "Yes" to check it and then on "Create New Account".
  
• On the last page Googe shows you the JavaScript code, which you have to copy and paste on every single page of your Website, so that it can track information about the traffic. Since this is extremely hard for novice users, there have been developed some Joomla plugins, which do the "dirty" job for you. These plugins need to know only your tracking ID, which Google embeds in their tracking script.
  1. So take pen and paper and make a note of the tracking ID, which you can find inside the Google script and looks like this UA-xxxxxxx-x, where x is some number.
  2. Then click on "Continue".
  

Now your signup for Google Analytics is completed. This tutorial however will not get into more details on how to use this service. If you want to learn more about it, take a look at the Documentation and Support page of Google Analytics.
