@Sharon, @Ralph, @Brian, and @Brad

I’m glad you enjoyed the Google Analytics inspirational tip. Brad, I hadn’t thought of Google Trends–thank you.

This process doubles the impact these articles can have on your website:

1. It gives you inspiration for relevant content that your readers obviously want, and
2. It virtually guarantees you Google juice (traffic) to your website or blog

Thanks again for commenting!

Its an interesting approach. I use a different tool from google for my creative blog posts. When I come up against a wall but have the need to participate in the writing process, I look to google trends. I try and come up with something witty to say about what’s happening in the world based on the top hundred searches in google trends. Not only does this give you a focus for writing, if you know how to get quickly indexed by google it can create massive amounts of traffic.

Hi Bill

This post really turned things upside down for me!
I write posts on individual Tips about Google Analytics but never thought I’d see GA as the tip itself.

I think I’ll add this on to

Google Analytics is equally easy to add to a Blogspot blog. I recently did so. I like the slant you put on this. Concentrating too much on SEO words has a tendency to turn writing stiff and make it sound contrived. I try to work in my own tag list a lot, and have to be careful that way.

Before I found Google Analytics I was using StatCounter — still would be but it keeps tanking. One time I was able to discover that someone in China had visited my post with the slide show of clothes drying on balconies in Chinese cities. What a hoot! I have not figured out how to get specific locations of visitors in G.A. Anyone know about that?

@southern quebec, I use Wordpress for all of my blogs. You simple cut and paste the code snippet from Google Analytics and place it in your footer template. You can also use Google Analytics with Wordpress.com.

Here is a link from Google that might help you: http://analytics.blogspot.com/2009/06/back-to-basics-setting-up-google.html

You should mention that this does not work on wordpress blogs. :( Just tried to use it…
