 * I am having the same problem and I have been on it (searching for answers on 
   the internet, and all), and I am still no where to resolving the issue. Why is
   WordPress organization silent about this and want us to depend on trial and error
   suggestions here and there? I am new to wordpress but my guess is that there 
   is a catch that wordpress is not open about. Otherwise, how come an API key that
   is supposed to works for Akismet and WordPress Stats has to be acquired from 
   Akismet? And when it works for Akismet (it works for me), it does not work for
   WordPress Stats? There is nothing wrong is saying that we have to pay for it.
   Pardon me if I am wrong, but it is frustrating for someone to get stuck on an
   issue with plugin install. Please WP, let us know if we need to pay for an API
   key for your WP Stats, and if it is true that we don’t need a sperate key, then
   give us a link to where to fix the issue. Thx.
