  Google Analytics isn’t currently supported here at WordPress.com, my apologies for the inconvenience.

  Has WordPress.com decided one way or another if this will be available in the future?

  Also – is GA possible via WordPress.org?

  Thanks.

  Google Analytics can be used on wordpress.org blogs. IMO it’s unlikely that we will see wordpress.com blogs running Google Analytics as the software will strip the code out.

  You’re welcome. There are some free third party tracking programs we can use on wordpress.com blogs. If you click my username and then my “Popular Posts” page and scroll down to “Visitor Tracking” you will find several posts wherein I have reviewed visitor tracking systems that don’t use javascriptThis support documentation entry clarifies codes we cannot use on wordpress.com blogs.
