Good Blogging Practice Part-27

Previously Espreson has discussed about Title Tag optimization. This can be achieved with wordpress plugin named SEO Title Tag. In this part we will not discuss about any optimization. Till date we have discussed lots on optimization. Lets change the taste. Of course we will discuss about another useful wordpress plugin.

Do you think, you need a tool which can track your blog visitors. If not then don’t go through rest of the topic. But if yes then continue.

Espreson is talking about Google Analytics. Google Analytics helps you to track, who are your blog visitors, how well is your advertising campaign working and lots more.

So, to start tracking with Google Analytics you need a Google Account and from there you can access Google Analytics. You can also access Google Analytics from this link also, http://www.google.com/analytics/. Just Sign in with your Google Account email and password . To start tracking your blog add your blog URL. After giving details of your blog URL, Google Analytics will ask you to install a tracking code.

Installation of tracking code can be done in two ways,

1. Put that code just before the </body> tag of each page you are planning to track.
2. Using plugin

I think using plugin is the best option because, you may change your blog theme later and that time you need to add this tracking code again in your new theme. So using plugin can solve this problem. Here is that link to Google Analytics plugin for wordpress.

How to use that plugin? Here is the guideline,

1. Install the plugin in your wp-content/plugin blog directory
2. Activate the plugin
3. Go to option menu and under that you will find Google Analytics, go there.
4. Paste the tracking code on the box
5. Don’t forget to click Update Options button
6. Click Done on your Google Analytics sites Tracking Status page.

Thats all.
