  See here first https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/

  Know that we cannot post any JavaScript tracking codes on blogs hosted by wordpress.COM for security reasons.

  See Google Analytics for WordPress.com Business sites http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2015/01/29/google-analytics-for-wordpress-com-business-sites/ There is no alternative when it comes to wordpress.COM hosted blogs. You either purchase the Business upgrade http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/ for $299 US per year or you don’t have access to Google Analytics.

  I have blogged for 10 years and I don’t get into opinion exchanges and discussions in technical support threads. The last thing I devote any time to is watching stats. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/07/04/ignore-your-stats/
