Do you use Google Analytics to track your blogs statistics?
Using Google Analytics can be quite useful for seeing how many visits your blogs gets and even where your visitors come from - Whether a visitor arrives from the Google Search Engine or from a referring site, I can see it all.
But Google Analytics can also be useful for testing out different SEO techniques and strategies that you apply to your blog.A few weeks ago on my HCG Diet 411 Blog, I made a change to my title tag. I had already optimized it once before, but I thought if I made a simple change it could get me more visitors. Well it did.
But how do I know that it was that little change to my title tag that brought me that extra traffic, because the day that I made the change, I made an annotation using my Google Analytics account. And just a few days after I made the notation - I started seeing a spike in my blogs traffic.
How to use Annotations in Google Analytics:
- First, you select the site that you want to make the annotation on.
- Then, you hover over the date that you want to make the note on.
- Now just click on that specific date.
- The little bubble that pops up will say "Create New Annotation".
- Then you just click on that and type in your note. Just be sure to click save after you are done writing.
From that point on, you should see a little note that tells you how many annotations you have when you hover your cursor over that specific date.
