: How to monitor traffic on a single page that I control when I don't control the domain? I have a webpage like www.site.com/myaccount/foo/index.htm I have complete control over the HTML on this

I have a webpage like
site.com/myaccount/foo/index.htm

I have complete control over the HTML on this page (e.g., I can insert a script).
However, I have no control over the rest of the site.
update: Note that I only want to have information on traffic to the page under my control. I have no interest in the traffic for the rest of the site.
I'd particularly like to get an idea of referring URLs to the page under my control.


Will Google Analytics work on a single page under my control?
If not, are there other tools suited to monitoring traffic to a single page?


Note I saw this question but it did not seem to answer my question. Also, I'm not tied to using Google Analytics if another online system would work.

Specifically, I have added the google analytics tracking code to the page, but am still getting the error


Status: Tracking Not Installed
The Google Analytics tracking code has not been detected on your
website's home page. For Analytics to function, you or your web
administrator must add the code to each page of your website.


This made me think that I might need to have access to site.com/index.htm
Update: After waiting another day, Google Analytics appears to have registered the tracking code. I presumably just had to wait a little longer.
