I'm sure you will have a file called as footer.php in your folder theme

Adding Google analytics tracking code into it, It's the place should do.

Actually Google Analytics wants you to insert a piece of tracking code to each of your pages. But after that the Wordpress-free doesn't allows you to edit the HTML. So you can shift it to have a free Posterous account or a WordPress hosted account.

I installed an All-on-One SEO pack, which allows me to input the GA tracking code and it works.

You can download a Google Analytics plugin and put the code there.

Just copy analytics code and past in footer.php before the close tag of thebody. I mean </body>

I'll second the use of the google analytics plugin, its free and easy. But footer.php works well if you want to reduce plugin usage.
