You may add the Google Analytics code to you site either manually or by using a plugin any choice. There are many plugins that can help you do this,but the best way i have selected is very simple one, that get the job done smooth and fine.

Adding Google Analytics manually through wordpress

1. Login wordpress admin panel
2. Goto Appearance > Editor (theme editor)
3. Select the footer.php or index.php
4. Find the </body> html tag
5. Copy and page the Google Analytics code before the </body> tag.
6. Don’t forget to click Update File to save changes.

The only problem with the manual installation is that if you interchange wordpress themes you will loose your  Google Analytics code. That is why it is better to use Google Analytics code within a plugin. And this  plugin is a simple to use with no distraction of work.

2. Goto Settings > Header-Footer
3. Cut and paste the Google tracking code in the bottom footer textbox.
4. Enjoy.
