Yes, so let's assume the reader isn't aware they have to integrate GA (or perhaps they don't even know what it's for).

1. They perform step 1, ok.

2. They open GA (what for? well let's just open it)

3. Click the bookmark, ok.

4. Strange, nothing seems to happen.

5. Fiddle a bit. Maybe it's my website, let's restart the server.

6. Reaction, eventually: this sucks.

Then they are not likely going to need this service in the first place.

Seems far fetched. I bet the amount of people who - own a site - are unaware of GA - execute step 1 without reading 2 ... and... - know how to restart their server ... is exactly 0.
