  I want to add a Google Analytics Plug In so I can see really detailed information about visitors to my blog.

  I found Google Analytics for WordPress 4.3.3 but it says I need to upload the folder to the plugins directory but I can’t find this?

  Help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  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. Stats > http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/
  Note we cannot install Google Analytics.
  Scroll down to “visitor tracking” for info on free third party stats programs we can use. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/popular-posts/
