How Using The Free Google Analytics Tool On Your Blog Can Make You Money
Google Analytics is a free tool offered by Google that is most commonly used by people who are Google Adwords advertisers.
Google Analytics is used to analyse your stats – where your visitors are coming from, how they’ve found you, the keywords they’ve used and many actions they’ve taken.
If you have a blog of any kind then you NEED Google Analytics on your blog. Here’s why:
1. You can track conversions on your blog
2. You can view who’s reading what on your blog
3. You can even view how many times a file has been downloaded on your blog
This is a great way to find out how spot on you are with your blog content and marketing efforts and what your visitors are appreciating most on your blog.
You need a free gmail account or google adwords account to access google analytics.
What you need to do once you’ve joined or logged in is to create your website profile.
At that point a screen will come up inviting you to add a particular code into the footer of your site or blog.
What you need to do at this point is either put the code at the bottom of your source code in your html website or you’ll need to access your wordpress control panel.
To do so log into WP and browse to presentation or design and click on theme editor.
On the right you’ll see a number of php pages.
You want the footer page.
Click on the footer.php page and insert the code that google analytics have given you.
Whenever you want to check your stats in GA you just need to log in and check your status.
