Introducing Google Analytics!
doiwl November 27th, 2007
Nowadays, a lot of people have their own blog. Especially when starting up a blog is much easier compared to setting up a personal website last time, where the writer need to have some basic knowledge on HTML.
So dear bloggers / webmasters, do you want an easy way to track the traffic to your blog?
Introducing Google Analytics!
http://www.google.com/analytics/
What can you do with Google Analytics? Use it if you want to know
- What is your daily visits, pageview, page/visit, visitor average time staring on your site, percentage of new visits?
- Where your visitor comes from (geographically)?
- How do they reach your site? By searching (then what did they search)? By referrals link (then originated from which site)?
- Their browser, connection speed, how often they visit back to your site?
- What is the best content of your site? What is the keyword to your site?
In conclusion, Google Analytics is a powerful tools suitable for all bloggers and webmasters. On Nov 19, I noticed a great spike on my daily visits, after that only I realized that that was because I was citing Malaysiakini on my blog. A single “Malaysiakini” brought in more than 40 visitors in a day, that’s something that I am quite surprised.
(Btw, you can only use Google Analytics if you are allowed to change the coding itself eg blogspot, wordpress. Windows Live Spaces, multiply cannot use this…)
