  Now that I’m mapped to my own domain, can I use google analytics?

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

  No.

  Please read the Stats support docs.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins like Google Analytics on a free hosted 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. Here’s the comparison http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  From the support doc:

  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

  Well, there IS a workaround http://jonathonbalogh.com/2012/05/07/how-to-use-google-analytics-on-a-wordpress-com-blog/ but we don’t provide support for that. You’re on your own.
