So, this is what the google webmaster tools gives you. Essentially, it is a free Google Analytics. Even if your own server gives you analysis for free, you still want to use this because of the exposure to Google. I used this on my club's old domain and it helped get us some incredible rankings.
To set this up, use the URL I have posted above. (By now, if you don't have a Google.com account, get one.) Log into Google, and the first page you get will be one that shows all of the web sites you are a part of. But if this is going to be your first, it might show something completely different... like the 'setup your web site' routine.
You will enter the URL of your web site, and then Google will give you 3 different ways to verify that you own or manage that site. The first way is to enter some code into your site's home page. Then if you can't do that, there is an alternative page giving you other ways.
Once you get in, you will find this page I screen shot below. Now, at first there will not be anything available for you to use. Google has not obtained the information needed yet.
But it will... it so very will. More will follow.
