  There are various tutorials how to integrate Google Analytics in WordPress and now I see, this is impossible.

  Is this option removed in recent time?

  @ponylab: To add to what auxclass said, those tutorials you see on the Internet are likely for self-hosted WordPress blogs, which don’t work the same way as WordPress.com blogs:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  No – buying a domain name just changes the URL to your blog – nothing else – same Terms of Service still apply.
