Google Analytics is a service that can provide useful information about the users who visit your blog created through the Blogger platform and how they managed to find it. In order to install Google Analytics on the Blogger platform, you need to have a blog and it is currently active. If your blog was created after 2006 you can refer to the first two parts of this guide. If you created your blog before 2006 and haven't migrated from classic to modern layout yet, you'll need to use one of the alternate sections of the guide, depending on your needs. After activating the service, it may take up to 24 hours for Google Analytics to be fully available for use.
