Ready To Install Google Analytics
( The Best Web Hosting Service )- Do you ever wonder how many users are visiting and viewing your blog or website? Do you ever ask yourself what posts in your site are most viewed? Many questions actually crosses your mind when it comes to your blog. But your search for answers will be over with the Google Analytics.
Google Analytics simply helps you track information and data about the number of visitors in your site. The Analytics will be very helpful for you since it does the analyzing and monitoring for you. Installing and setting it up is as simple as 1,2,3.
All you have to do is search ‘Google analytics’ in any search engine and go the URL of the analytics and sign up. If you have an existing gmail account then you can use that to create an account. You are just required to fill up some information about your blog or site as you create your account. Such information will be the basis of Google to generate a code to install it on your site.
To install Google Analytics on your wordpress blog you can do the following:
Copy and paste into the header.php file the code provided to when you successfully created your account
To access the header.php, simply go to the WordPress Dashboard and go to the Appearance tab and then the Editor. After such, you can now copy and paste the code as instructed above.
To ensure that the code have successfully been entered, go back to your account and make sure that you see a ‘Tracking Data’ next to your blog’s URL. Once you don’t see such words then something is not right. If hours has passed and it still doesn’t have the “Tracking Data’ words then you just have to delete the code you have entered and do the process again.
Sitemeter vs Google Analytics – Got Sitetracking
( The Best Web Hosting Service )- So I am going to start a hot debate, and I know every webmaster uses either Sitemeter or Google Analytics to track what people do on their website. I guess it would be like asking people if they like Mac or PC. You are going to get the diehard Mac fans (thats me) or the PC lovers. (got another idea for a blog post now 
But anyways this subject is on Sitemeter Vs Google Analytics so I guess I will just have to stick to the point. I am not going to reveal my pick until the end of this blog post, so maybe that will give you an incentive to keep reading (or maybe just skip to the bottom.)
Sitemeter
Really, really, simple to use. It is free unless you want to upgrade to their paid service. Which unless you got heaps and heaps of traffic I would just recommend going with there free version. Then in the other hand if you are big ballin than maybe you can afford the $6 a month or whatever it is running these days. You do have to sign up for one account for each website, though.
You do have to display a little seal for their service unless you pay for it though. Unless you figure out a way to mask it. There are ways to do it, though. You can view exactly where all your traffic is coming from which only seems to be delayed by a minute or less, which is really neat. So have fun sitting by the computer hammering the refresh button every couple minutes. Also, you can have the results sent your email every day, week, or month.
Google Analytics
This is a little more advanced than Sitemeter. It does not cost a dime though. So I guess that is one advantage of Google Analytics. However, you do NOT have to sign up for every account like you do for Sitemeter. You can easily sign up for a google account, and have the results sent to you whenever you would like.
As far as features there seems to be a lot more than you can do with Google Analytics. You are just provided with a lot more stats than you can ever imagine. I am talking about visits, impressions, clicks, CTR, CPC, RPC, ROI, Margin, bounce rate, ect.
Sitemeter Vs Google Analytics
So which one do I prefer? Well, the truth is I have used them both on a number of occasions. My opinion is kind of biased because I use Sitemeter on all of my sites, however on my clients sites I tend to use Google Analytics. Honestly, before writing this blog post, I was kind of set in stone on Sitemeter as being better because it is a little easier to use. Then again, I use it more, so maybe that is why it is easier to use for me.
At this point in time I prefer Sitemeter though, although I do just use their free service. However, in the next couple months I might try experimenting with Google Analytics a bit more and see if I still feel Sitemeter is the best for me.
