I don’t have Google Analytics account, can I still retrieve statistics using this plugin?

No, you can’t. This plugin allows you to retrieve statistics from Google Analytics account. It doesn’t generate its own statistics.

How can I add tracking code?

After you have created a new web property you will get a tracking code. If you want to add tracking code to your blog you will need to copy Tracking ID that looks like UA-xxxxx-y, paste it to the Blog Tracking field and click the Enable Tracking button.

I have added tracking code to my blog using this plugin. Now if I deactivate this plugin, will Google Analytics continue logging my blog?

No, if you deactivate plugin tracking code will be deleted from your blog.

Can I create a new Google Analytics account or a new web property from within the admin area using this plugin?
