  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins like Google Analytics on a free hos5ted WordPress.com blog. If you want that then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.

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

  You’re welcome and best wishes with your blog. If you wish to you can use a third party stats program (non_Javascript code version) from sitemeter or statcounter and place the code in a text widget. http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/
