You can track how many visits your blog gets using Google Analytics. Here’s how.
1. Sign up for a Google Analytics account.
If you already have a Google account, it’s as simple as turning Google Analytics (GA) on. If not, go to http://www.google.com/analytics/sign_up.html and sign up for one.
2. Click Add new account
The next step is to add an account and url to track.
Click the "Add new Account" link.

On the next page, click the "Sign Up" button to continue with your account setup.
3. New Account Signup
Add your websites URL like the one I have here. Assign an account name, and set your Time zone preferences.

You are presented with the tracking code to put on your website.

Login to your wordpress dashboard at http://yoursite.makerspot.com/wp-admin
Open t he Google Analytics plugin under "Settings"
