Google Analytics for Your Blog

You track the behavior of your visitors on your website, how about the visitors to your blog? Google Analytics provides free code and great reports for your website and your blog.

Here are the instructions from Google:

Where do I place the Analytics code in my Blogspot domain?

In order to place the Analytics code on all of the pages in your Blogspot domain, simply insert the code before the closing tag in the template. Analytics will then be able to track both the post pages for your blog and your homepage. To begin using Analytics to track visitors to your blog, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Blogger account.
2. Select the blog you'd like to track, then click 'Settings' from the Manage options.
3. Edit your template

Classic Template Users select the "Template" tab.
Layouts Users select the "Layout" tab.

4. Select the 'Edit HTML' tab.
5. Scroll to the bottom of the code.
6. Find the 'close body' tag, which usually appears towards the end of the code in the template.
7. Paste the Analytics tracking code just above the tag.
8. Click 'Save Template.'
Click 'Republish' to update your live site.

Let's generate leads!
