  I’m sorry but we cannot use Google Analytics on wordpress.com blogs at all. This is stated in the Stats entry in the support documentation and the question has been asked and answered in many forum threads many times over. Please search first and only post when you cannot find an answer.

  Can I use Google Analytics?
  No, Google Analytics cannot be used on WordPress.com blogs at this time.

  If you believe you require Google Analytics then you must hire a web host and get a free software install for self hosting from wordpress.ORG.

  Please take the time to read this support entry very carefully so your are crystal clear on the differences between free blogs from and being free hosted by wordpress.COM and free software installs from wordpress.ORG for self hosting. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You’re welcome. If you wish to run free third party non-Javacript stats programs as well as wordpress.com stats on your wordpress.com blog then see this page and scroll down to “Visitor Tracking”. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/popular-posts/
