1) First lets start with submitting your site or blog to Google which you can do by adding your sites URL here - http://www.google.com/addurl/
2) Now once done you need to get your site monitored into Google analytic, to do that login with your Google account here - http://www.google.com/webmasters/ now click on Add Site, Click Continue, then you will have to verify your site so that Google can Monitor your site or blog to do that click on your site you will see Verification method with drop down list, Select Meta Tag and copy the Code that is shown over there, Now go to your Blog Click Layout,Edit HTML,there you will see some HTML codes all you have to do is place that code which you got from Google right below -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html expr:dir='data:blog.languageDirection' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xmlns:b='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/b' xmlns:data='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/data' xmlns:expr='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/expr'>
<head>
So it will look something Like this -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html expr:dir='data:blog.languageDirection' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xmlns:b='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/b' xmlns:data='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/data' xmlns:expr='http://www.google.com/2005/gml/expr'>
<head>
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="IrknkHG4-bnS0x4sM0CcAbc23RsHJ9jWfVo-wfq-T9C" />
