Once you’ve installed and activated the plugin, you have to set which Analytics profile to track:
Then you need to authenticate your account with Google Analytics and choose your other settings. You can decide whether you want the Analytics code to be inserted automatically into the header (recommended unless you’re an advanced user).
You can also track outbound clicks and downloads, plus some other advanced functions if you wish. The advanced functions allow you to track Google Adsense and other custom variables like. Here are some of the custom options:
