Google analytics requires the java code at the bottom of every page you wish to track under a certain url.

Word press does not require that script (or a similar one) to function.

It is that simple. You have Google Analytics set up incorrectly.

Thank you for that suggestion. I will look into it, to see if it is true.

I should point out, however, that Google Analytics has had no problem showing incoming traffic from other sites such as Vdare.com. No special adjustments to the java script were made in order to get reports on Vdare traffic. Yet the reports have been coming through.

Perhaps Google Analytics sets the bar higher for FreeRepublic than it does for other sites -- which brings us back to my original point, doesn't it?

I think you have hit the nail on the head but the info is hitting a brick wall. I posted same thing up thread directly from Google Analytics and it went right over the top. My guess is someone screwed the pooch and never installed the link for tracking on the blog web page or if they did they screwed up the installation, etc. No black helicopters flying around this project just lack of beginning the search at the source, imo.

From Google Analytics: “Paste the Google Analytics tracking code into each of your website pages and tracking begins immediately.”
