you Begin

To set up tracking web stats with Google Analytics, you must have access to
the source code for your website. If you do not have access, we recommend
you contact your unit's web developer or administrator.
Getting Started

website<http://www.google.com/analytics>.
The first time you enter Google Analytics, you will need to create an
account by clicking the button at the top right. Instructions for setting
up your website(s) and customizing the kind of data you'll collect are
provided.
