Google Analytics

 

 

Now that you have already done your installation of Technorati and claim your blog(s) there as well as submit your blog(s) to Google, Yahoo and MSN as laid down in Chapter 5, the next best thing to do in to install google analytics to your blog(s). You may ask what Google Analytics is. Google Analytics will help you learn even more about where your visitors come from and how they interact with your blog(s) / website. It is a great tool to determine which online marketing strategies and initiatives are cost effective and see how visitors actually interact with your blog(s) / website. It shows you the performance of the steps you take to promote your blog(s) / website. I have found it to be tremendously useful. I recommend you take the following steps below to get going -

 

1. Go to www.google.com/analytics/home

 

2. Next go to “Sign up now”

 

3. “Enter your current email address”, “choose a password”, “re-enter your password” and finally “Accept and create your account”
