1.) Step One: Go to Google Analytics and sign up for an account:

http://www.google.com/analytics/...

2.) Once you activate your account, they will give you the code to put in your site. Copy it.

3.) Go back to the file manager for your site and find your header.php file. For me it was located under: Public_html > Concrete > Themes > Default > Elements > Header.php

4.) Open the Header file and right before the last DIV tag insert/paste your code. Save it. Voila!

Wait a day and then log into your Google Analytics account to check the information. Hope this helps!

I follow your instruction but I was not able to connect the analytics and the site. I wonder if this is the path Public_html > Concrete > Themes > Default > Elements > Header.php

You don't need to edit any files to add you GA code.
For C5.5
Go to your dashboard>system&settings
Select "Tracking Codes" under "SEO and Statistics"
Paste your GA code into the text area (see attachment)
