  Note we cannot install Google Analytics on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. 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.

  Scroll down to “visitor tracking” for info on free third party stats programs we can use. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/popular-posts/

  I have my site public, I guess it will get indexed by Google over the next few days?

  Maybe and maybe not. It can take weeks for search engines to index your blog. It’s publishing posts, not pages that attracts search engine attention.

  The process we use for verifying free hosted WordPress.com blogs with search engines is found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/

  Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.

  WordPress.com provides the search engines with site maps. We bloggers do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/

  P.S. You have created a page based structure when it’s post based structures ie. blogs where new content is frequently published that attract search engine attention. Reading this may be helpful http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/05/12/better-blogging-at-wordpress-com-pages-and-posts/

  I have a wordpress premium package, does that provide me any more capabilities?

  No. The premium package contain specific features and that’s all it provides. This isn’t a throw money at it situation at all. You chose to have a page based structure. Pages sit outside the blog structure and are for static content that rarely ever changes as my post explains.
