Click on the 'Google Analytics Tracking Module' and you will see a field in the 'Module Parameters' section called 'Analytics_uacct code'. All you need to do is add you Analytics ID here and that's it. Not Sure What Your Google Analytics ID is?
If you have a Google Analytics account but you are not sure what your ID is then log in to your Google Analytics account http://www.google.com/analytics, next to your website under settings click edit. Click status in the top right hand corner.
You will see a block of code under the 'Instructions for adding tracking' header, your ID will look something like 'UA-123456-1' Don't Have a Google Analytics Account?
If you haven't got a Google Analytics account yet go to http://www.google.com/analytics and sign up for an account.
To set up your site just click 'Add Website Profile' type in your domain and click continue then enter your ID into your Analytics Module in the field mentioned above. Then select finish in Google Analytics.
You will then be taken back to the dashboard where quite often it will say 'Tracking code not detected' just click check status again and it should detect the code. It usually takes about 24 to 48 hours before it starts to display your stats.
Stopping Your Own Visits From Being Included in Your Stats
You may also want to block your own visits to your site from being counted in your stats. You can do this easily by going to www.myipaddress.com and copying your IP address.
NOTE: Some ISP's (internet service providers) do not provide static IP's, which means your IP address will change from time to time. Therefore IP filtering won't work
Then in Google Analytics click edit next to your web site and click add filter in the bottom right hand corner.
Enter any name and in the filter type menu select 'Exclude all traffic from an IP address'
Paste your IP address into the box and click finish.
