Step 1
You need a Gmail account. Don't have one? Get one!
You'll need to have a Gmail account to set up Google Analytics. If you don't already have a Gmail account, you can quickly sign up for a Gmail account here. This portion of the tutorial might add on 3-5 minutes depending on how fast of a typer you are if you don't have a Gmail account. For those that do let's move onto setp 2. Step 2
Setting Up Google Analytics for the First Time
Once you have your Gmail account you'll have to head over to http://www.google.com/analytics/ to set up your new account. When you sign in you should see the following page.
Sign up and enter a descriptive name for your account then under the url enter your Tumblr account information. It will be something like naterules.tumblr.com.

Once it is you will see a green arrow next to your account indicating that the code was set up correctly. You wont see any information until tomorrow as Analytic stats are available in 24 hour increments.

- Yep you sure can. This is for the older version of Analytics, which people still have the option to use. I'm going to make a new lens for the new version of Google Analytics as it's different than what's posted here.
