  Hello, Happiness Engineers! I had this site – BestPartOfTheCivilWar.org created by someone else. Since it’s been turned over to me, I’ve been trying to figure out how to include Google Analytics so I can report to the four communities who support this marketing venture. If not GA, then do you have a web analysis tool I can use?
  thank you!

  We don’t currently support Google Analytics on the WordPress.com side, but we do have a great stats tool you can use.

  Thanks, man! I had seen this feature, but since we don’t have a blog and we want to track our site similar to how analytics does it – we’d like to see unique visitors, referral sites, all those wonderful things that tell us how we’re doing – so, how does this tool help me do that? I’m not seeing anything except for the one graph.
  thanks!

  Actually, the graph will list unique visits and referrals will appear below the graph.

  You just need to collect some data first. :)

  Let is run for a day, and you should see some awesome stats.
