Sudam, I figured that Analytics would draw you back — lol. We still get search engine traffic on your guest post in February: http://bloggingwithsuccess.net.....g-visitors
It’s been a long time… hint, hint…
Thanks for your compliments.

Wao, Sba a great post indeed about Analytics. Analytics is one of the most comprehensive and free visitors tracking services. If used to the fullest extent, it gives you a lot of details on different parameters.

I have been using it for the last one year or so and am really satisfied with its reporting.

Superb SBA.

Granted, Statcounter has to grow on you! Great idea you have to share with readers and give back to those whose work helped you. Let us know about the ‘trackback’ keyword analysis.

Hi there SBA,

I tried StatCounter in the past and was not very satisfied or I should say comfortable with it. I did my share of research and found Google Analytics to be a better option over the rest. Yes, I’m on a Trackback session on my site right now, I found that it is a good thing to share the articles that has benefited me as a blogger. I use the term Trackback in the post title for two reasons 1) To follow a post structure specific to this particular section 2) To do an in-depth analysis as to how the keyword has affected traffic both for me and the external blogger to whom the URL re-directs too. I’m yet to work on the analysis as a have a couple of Website projects on hand

Cheers,
Eddie Gear

Cheers Eddie, Do you use any other tools like StatCounter? I notice your new ‘trackback’ format on your homepage — how does this affect your reader traffic?

Hi there,

Good presentation. Yes, I agree with my fellow bloggers that Google analytics is one of the best tools to monitor websites. I’ve been using this tool since the launch of MetaliQue.com and I find it very useful and helps me understand my readers, the visibility my posts get and so on.

Cheers,
Eddie Gear

You should establish Analytics — read this and follow the steps to find out what you have installed or not. Answers Look at any unnamed html/text gadgets since you would have copied and pasted the tracking code in one. If not start over, it’s worth it. And friend, you need to grab your gravatar!

I agree with you on being a status freak. It’s just a wastage of time.
Regarding bounce rate, do not worry too much about it as 60-70% is considered OK for blogs and anything below 50% is excellent!
