  Please always search before creating a thread. This is a multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs share a common architecture. We bloggers cannot access metadata on free hosted WordPress.com blogs and install any tracking code, we have no FTP access and we cannot install plugins.

  Note we cannot install Google Analytics.

  No. You cannot use Google Analytics on any free hosted WordPress.com blog. There is no upgrade that changes this unless you are in the CNN league and are accepted into the VIP hosting program. http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/

  You are not a VIP hosted blogger and neither is your friend.

  No, Google Analytics cannot be used on WordPress.com blogs at this time. http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#additional-info

  VIP blogs cost $2600 per month. If you are not paying that, then you do not have a VIP WP.com blog and cannot do this.
