Hi,
I guess you might be using the old version of TomatoCart which does not support Google Analytics service.
Please download the module from http://code.google.com/p/tomatocart-shoppingcart/downloads/detail?name=google%20analytics.zip.
Once you upzip the package, you will find two directories(admin and includes) in it. Please just put them into the web root directory on your web server where TomatoCart is installed.
Or you could contact me via support@tomatocart.com. Id love to help.
