Google Analytics Measures Success

If you have a blog and it’s getting traffic and sales you need Google Analytics to measure your success. It’s a free service offered by google to track and report your blogs traffic on every page and is easy to set up. There is a premium option available too but the free version is just fine to start.

What Hidden Secrets Can You Discover?

So why use it? The more you know what visitors to your site do the better you can tweak your blog and increase sales and optins to your list and engagement. Some of the things you can see tracked for you in a report are:

• See the overall behavior of people who visit your site and the blog posts they like best
• What actions your visitors took if any or did they leave quickly
• Which optins got the most traction
• Were purchases made
• Are people commenting and using social shares

I love using free tools to start when I am first learning something and have found it helpful on niche blogs.

Let me know if you have any tips on using Google Analytics. I am always open to hearing others success and what is working for you.
