Google Analytics vs WordPress Analytics

Please remember to check out your WordPress Analytics… There you will see:

1) Referrers — how people are coming to your blog (for example, how many people are coming from twitter, facebook, google, or a particular blog or website)

2) What country they’re coming from

3) What posts they’re visiting

4) Search Terms: What keywords they’re using to find you

Now, even though you cannot connect your wordpress.com blog to Google Analytics, you need to know what Google Analytics can do for you… You can use Google Analytics if you have a wordpress.org blog, a blogger blog (blogger is owned by Google), or a website…

1) Referrers – how people are coming to your blog (same as above)

2) What country they’re coming from — but also what state, and what city!

3) What posts (or webpages) they’re visiting (same as above)

4) What keywords they’re using to find you (same as above)

5) How long they’re staying on your site

6) How many pages they’re viewing in one session

7) Returning vs New Visitors

8) Bounces — who visits a page and IMMEDIATELY leaves

9) You can even see everything in ‘Real Time’ — as it happens

10) If you also happen to be running Google Advertising, you can see results
