Step by step instructions to access your website statistics
1. Create an account
If you haven’t yet registered an account with Google, you’ll need to do that first. This means that you can sign into various Google services using your preferred email address. You do NOT need a Gmail account.Go to https://accounts.google.com. If you see a sign-in page, try signing in using your normal email address first. If that doesn’t work, continue with the steps below.
Inside that sign-in box, click on the “More options” dropdown, then choose “Create account”.
Complete your account details, ensuring you click on “I prefer to use my current address” on the “Email” field. However, if you prefer, you can sign up for a new @gmail.com address to use with your account.
2. Let us know about it
