you don’t. Staff is already using Google Analytics to track our stats, and you can’t have it on the same page twice.

Can I use Google Analytics?

You don’t. We bloggers do not have access to Google analytics that run on our blogs at wordpress.com http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/02/09/questions-about-stats/

While it’s true that we can have 3rd party stats meters they will not give you referrers as we can cannot use the counters that rely on javascript. We can only use those that are html on wordpress.com blogs.

If you feel that this information is critical to your blogging experience then there is another wordpress option. You can hire a web host and download free wordpress.org software or you can self host it on your own server. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=3700
