Google Analytics: View your progress
Thursday, January 21st, 2010
So, you are starting to understand how to boost your SEO, you are motivated to blog, you are having fun interacting on social media sites, are working on creating interesting content for your followers, and are motivated to get more incoming links. You are making progress. Good for you!
So do you know how all this is helping you?
Yes, you may understand that all of these things are good for your business, but doesn’t it feel good to see the results? Proof that this hard work is paying off? If you haven’t already…set up Google Analytics for your website. Google offers powerful tools for you to be able to monitor activity on your website.
This way once you post a new blog article, and inform your followers on Facebook and Twitter that you have something new and juicy to read…you can hop over to Google Analytics to see how it all pans out. Did people find your post interesting? Did it lead them to read more on your site? Did people find you through the search results too? Are people linking to your articles? All these things, and more can be seen with Google Analytics.
Example of the Google Analytics Dashboard
Once you have created an account with Google and installed the verification code on your site (to prove that you have the right to track the site) you are on your way to new horizons. Google gives you statistics on the number of visitors you have per day, the number of pages viewed, how long the viewer spent on your site, how they arrived at your site (google search, direct link etc) whether they were a new visitor, and so much more! The benefit of this service is endless, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. You can also set up custom tracking tools to look at specific features on your site that you wish to analyze.
Have fun and feel proud once you see the benefits of all your hard work!
