Setting up Google Analytics

You cannot use GA here at wordpress.com. For one thing, the code they use is not allowed here for security reasons.
See the first item under “additional information” on the stats support page.

I haven’t read that thoroughly, only scanned it just now, but it looks complex, and having your domain name pointed at two different places is fingernails down a chalkboard for a web designer/geek. It is sort of like having the front wheels of your car each controlled by separate steering wheels.
I also wonder how would the search engines react to this? The geek hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
I have no domains mapped here so I’m not going to try it.
