Tag Archives: Google Analytics

I like to wrap up the first week of a new year by checking blogging stats against the previous year. It gives me an idea of how I'm doing.

A blogger can spend hours writing a post, but without taking on the duties of a content manager, how many people will actually see it?

This time of year, I like to say something about year-to-year blog stats. A change to Google Analytics makes them harder to find.

There's a new Google Analytics that carries the charming nickname 'GA4.' The old 'Universal Analytics' was set to stop working July 1.

A recently-downloaded plugin promised a free plan. But it wouldn't let me complete registration until I agreed to enter a credit card number.

Google Analytics will sunset its current Universal Analytics and replace it with Google Analytics 4. Here’s what you need to do now. 

Each year, I try to craft a short list of what I consider the cream of this blog's annual crop. So here are my best posts of 2022.

Do you set a list of accomplishments you want to make each year for your site? I do, and so here are my 2022 blogging goals.

Each January, when another year is in the books, I like to take a look at my analytics. So here are my 2021 blog stats.

I spent a good bit of 2020 avoiding looking at my web numbers. Honestly, the possibilities I expected Google Analytics to reveal scared me.

In early March, I made a small but important strategic change to my front page. So here's a quick bounce rate checkup to see if the change is helping.

When I check my blog analytics, my front page bounce rate is the only specific bounce rate measurement that I worry about.

A digital content marketing guru recently told conference attendees that when we blog, we are writing for Google, not our blog's actual audience.

I read an interesting article about the best time to publish a blog post, but the one thing I'm sure about is that it won't work for everyone.

One of the concerns I had about switching from seven-day-a-week posting to just five was the possible impact on my web analytics — page views and visitors.
