Google analytic is the free web analytics service from Google which would help in tracking, monitoring the traffic to our websites. It is a blessing in disguise for me!
I am a rookie into this blogging world and of course as a beginner would be glad to share my experience in setting up my blog. I had wasted a lot of time to insert the tracking code generated into my blog.
So I would like to show few simple steps to get started:
Step 1: Log in to google.com/analytics
Step 2: Click on the "Access Google Analytics"
Step 3: Sign in to your google account which you already have else create one.
Step 4: Click sign up for Google Analytics- upon clicking, you will be asked few basic questions- Account Name, Website Name, Website URL.
Step 5: Scroll down to the bottom of the page & click on get tracking ID
Voila! the tracking ID along with the code is generated.
This process actually flummoxed me as I have not worked with codes et al. And all the help guides like this mentioned the need to copy the tracking code and paste it just before </head>.
However, there's a simple alternative for a rookie like me.
Step 1: Copy the tracking ID (alpha numeric characters)
Step 2: Login to your blogging account and look for the settings tab on the left side
Step 3: Scroll down and there's Analytics Web property ID where the ID needs to be pasted.
Step 4: Click save & finish
The other manual process is not hard either.
Step 1: Copy the tracking code found just below the tracking ID from <script> to </script>.
Step 2: Login to your blog
Step 3: Click on the Template tab & select 'Edit HTML'
Step 4: Look for </head> tag and paste the code just before it.
Step 5: Click Save & finish
