  Site Stats – Additional Info
  Can I use Google Analytics?
  No, Google Analytics cannot be used on WordPress.com blogs at this time. http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#additional-info

  Note: There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes this. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins. To have plugins and Google Analytics you need to hire a web host and set up your own self hosted WordPress.org install. See here for a comparison. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
  Also know that even if you fail to verify the blog it doesn’t matter as the content will be indexed anyway, provided the blog visibility is public.

  Note also that WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines
