Micro Persuasion: Google Analytics DOA?

Google Analytics DOA?

Dwight Silverman and others are asking: “Hey, where's my analysis?” I agree. I installed the Google Analytics code nearly 48 hours ago and there's still no data. How come Google isn't addressing this issue on their blog? I guess that's the price for freeware. Pay and you get good service. Go with a free service and often all you get is deafening silence.

On a related note, someone told me that simply adding the Google Analytics code to my blog sidebar like I do with StatCounter won't work. Is this correct?
