Google Analytics for Blogger is currently in private beta! Over the next year, the Google team will be refining this interface until it's ready for public release in both Blogger and Google Analytics accounts.
Analytics for Blogger is the product of collaboration by several teams and marks the transition of Measure Map customers to a new Google Analytics interface which has been designed for Blogger users.
This development was announced by Jeff Veen at the South by Southwest conference held a few weeks ago:
Many of you may remember when Google acquired Measure Map, our analytics product for blogs. When we came to Google, our first job was to take the experience of providing clear, accessible reports, coupled with powerful tools for analysis, and apply it to Google's already robust Analytics product. The result of that collaboration launched last May, in the redesigned Google Analytics interface..
Since then the team has been hard at work fulfilling our original promise: to help bloggers understand the impact that their blogs are having on the world. To that end, we've rebuilt Measure Map as an integrated feature of both Google Analytics and Blogger. We hope you like what you see (via Google Analytics Blog)
Now I have to say that this development is something I have been hoping to see for some time! Such statistics present in the dashboard of our Blogger powered blogs would certainly save us time and effort visiting many different sources for information of blog development, backlinks and the like.
As soon as I hear news of any developments regarding this new interface, I will be sure to post it here!
In the meantime, I'm working on a post outlining the different methods currently available to Blogger users for statistical reporting of our blogs, so be sure to subscribe for news of future posts!

It's not that big of a deal to go to Google Analytics too look at my Blogger traffic data. However, integration would make it easy for even the least web-savvy individuals to have analytics tools at their fingertips. I only hope the current functionality of Google Analytics isn't sacrificed for the sake of integration. It would be even better, though, if you could track URLs on a keyword level...
Hello Oyfp Boston,
I use Google Analytics too, but I'm sure the Analytics for blogs will serve us much better!
From the screenshots I've seen so far, it seems we'll have access to data of the blogs linking to us (and to each post). Maybe also Feedburner integration...?
I've wanted to try Google Analytics for a while, but the installation seems a little complicated. I'm looking forward to this. Thanks for the heads-up.
It's a good way to show the visitor to your blog, what the most popular posts are. On the other hand, bloggers with a low viewership might not want to display things like the "number of visitors" on their blog!
when will this product released?
Hi there,
Nice article, thanks. I've used other stats and alalytics tools, however I;m very much impressed with Google Analytics.I find it very easy to use and navigate. Also the tracking is excellent and helps you prepare your blog for advertising and study your readers and your strong areas or post in your blog.
Cheers,
Eddie Gear
Whatever happened to this!? Closer integration between Blogger and Google Analytics just makes so much sense (particularly for those of us who are allergic to editing the Template!).
