  Hi- I’m new to WP, haven’t even written a post. But analytics are very important to me. Can anyone please tell me what they’re using and what they like or don’t like about the service. i’m especially interested in your info if you are using the analytics to convince advertisers to use your blog.
  thanks

  Please read this http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/08/03/can-i-use-google-analytics/

  to convince advertisers to use your blog

  See section 2, 5th bullet of the Terms of Service http://wordpress.com/tos/
  Wordpress.com blogs cannot be used to drive traffic to 3rd party sites. Moreover, we cannot advertise on wordpress.com blogs. See also http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/12/08/adsense/

  It sounds like you would prefer the other wordpress option. You can hire a web host very inexpensively and download a template free of charge from http://wordpress.org
