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

Yep. That's a better explanation that my suggestion of a glitch in the net between FR and Google Analytics. Well done.

Gee, maybe somebody spent far too much time constructing a conspiracy scenario to drive traffic to their blog, and now might have to admit they just made a programming error.

The part about "tracking begins immediately" suggests that a careful programmer could have had immediate feedback on whether it was working or not.

Let's see how long it takes to confirm/deny your speculation, or whether this thread just quietly dies out... ;-)
