  If I purchase a Domain through WordPress.com, will I have the ability to put Google Analytics on my blog?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  No

  You can use other third party stats, but they need to have plain html code you can put in a widget

  No. We cannot use Google Analytics on free hosted WordPress.com blogs – period and that is stated here >

  There is no upgrade here you can purchase aside from VIP hosting http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ that allows the FTP access required to be able to install any plugins.

  You can use only non-JavaScript third party visitor tracking programs. There are free ones like sitemeter or statcounter that you can locate by scrolling down to “Visitor Tracking” here http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/popular-posts/
