 * Does this work only with Self-Hosted WordPress sites or also with free WordPress
   sites?
 * If it works with the latter, can you please explain the first 2 steps of the 
   process?
 * 1) Delete any existing gapp or google-analytics-for-wordpress folder from the/
   wp-content/plugins/ directory
 * 2) Upload google-analytics-for-wordpress folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
 * Am I supposed to upload folders via my dashboard?
 * Thank you.

 * you should be doing it via ftp, o via the plugin installer in plugins>add new.
 * But what do you mean with “free wordpress sites”?
    If you are talking about wordpress.
   com I don’t think you can install your own plugins, but I’m not sure though (
   but if you are on wordpress.com they provide their own stat system i think) cheers
