One….only one! Installing Google Analytics on your WordPress blog is super easy and I can’t wait to show you how to do it!
Now that you’ve set up a mom blog, it’s time to install Google Analytics to find out how people are finding your blog and how many people are visiting your blog on a monthly basis! Google analytics is a must-have!
Google Analytics gives you insight into the traffic on your site. For example, with Google analytics installed you can see how many people are visiting your site at this very second or in the last week! You can find how how they found your website whether it was through Google, Facebook or another blog. You can even find out which queries they searched in Google to find your site! All of this information can be extremely valuable to you as you are trying to build your blog!
6. Open the footer.php file on the right hand side of your template files.
7. Locate the </footer> tag at the bottom of the HTML code and copy your Google Analytics code right before the </footer>.
Once the analytics has begun reporting you can see how many people are visiting your site per day, where they are coming from and which Google searches they are performing to find your blog.
Been trying to figure this out for some time! Thanks for sharing ???
GA is such a pain in the neck for me . I just don’t get it. I love your step by step directions and hopefully I can get GA set up FINALLY!
Thanks so much for this post! I crashed my site the first time I tried to install Google Analytics, but this post had very simple and clear instructions, so this time I installed it my first try with no problems!
Thank you! You certainly make my life easier!
I gotta say, I love your posts! You do something that few other people do…make it idiot proof! This was so simple…I find so many times people take for granted what they know! Seriously, I didn’t even know you needed to do this!
For some reason mine won’t show the “editor” menu. Would you know the a reason for this?
I have it copied but can you help me put it somewhere else? It would be amazing!
