One of the main keys to a successful website or blog is knowing how much and where your overall traffic is coming from.  Having this information at your fingertips will allow you to experiment with different traffic techniques and see which one works the best and then capitalize on it.  Without knowing your website statistics you will have no idea what traffic techniques are working and which are not, making it harder to improve your campaign!

Google Analytics, a free service offered by Google, keeps track of your website statistics for you, allowing you to keep track of where your visitors are coming from so that you can adjust your traffic techniques and marketing campaign accordingly.

How To Install Google Analytics

Installing Google Analytics is not all that difficult.  It requires the understanding of some web code, but if you follow the steps below you should have no problem getting it installed on your website or blog.

Step 1:    Go to the Google Analytics website  http://www.google.com/analytics/

Step 2:    Sign up for a Google analytics account. 

- Click on the Sign Up Now link underneath New to Google Analytics

- If you have a Google account sign in.  If you don’t click set up a Google account and follow the steps.

*If you have an account with google analytics sign in by clicking the Access Analytics button on the right side of the homepage.

Step 3:    Create a New Account

-  Once signed into Google there should be a screen that pops up asking you to enter your website address. 

-  Enter your Web address, A name for your account, your Country and time zone

-  Click Continue

-  Fill in your name, phone number(not required), other info

-  Click Continue

-  Agree to the terms and conditions and click Create New Account

Step 4:    Add Google Analytics Code To Your Site

-  Google will then give you code that needs to be pasted into your site so that they can track your statictics

-  Copy all of the code in the box

-  If you have a website paste the code in between the <body> tags, most people paste it towards the bottom, but the code is for Google’s purposes only it will not be seen on your site so as long as it is before the </body> tag you are good.

-  If you have a Wordpress blog sign in to your dashboard –> Appearance –> Editor –> footer.php  Next, paste the code anywhere inbetween the <body> tags, but it must be before </body> tag.  Click save when done pasting and that is it.

Step 5:    Sign In To Google Analytics Account

-  You should see your new account set up, There will be a yellow caushion symbol under status this means Google did not reconize your site yet, this may take a couple hours or days then it should change to active after it reconizes your site.  When it is active you will be able to see your site statistics!

-  If for some reason after a couple days it still does not reconize your site I would suggest contacting Google anaylitic support.

Step 6:  Install Google Analytics Complete!  Congradulations!

Wordpress Google Analytics Plugin

If you have a Wordpress blog you can download the Google Analytics for WordPress plugin, which automatically tracks for blog statistics for you without having to paste code.  This plugin is very easy to install just download the file and save it to your wp-content/plugins folder and you are all set!

Is your website getting the traffic it deserves?

You have an amazing product, a excellently designed website and a sales pitch that is right on. You launch your site and await the stampeding crowd…

You wait… and you wait… and you wait…

Meanwhile your competitor next door has people lined up down the block just waiting to get their product.  What are they doing that you’re not?  What is this big trick that you seem to be missing out on?

Well it just so happens that the trick is Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – SEO lets the search engines know that you have what people are looking for, the answer to their question.

However, many people find SEO to be a time consuming and complicated process to learn, if you are a newbie to the SEO world it sometimes can be quite frustrating!

Well today I wanted to share with you a free seo software tool that simplifies the whole process for you!  This free software is called Traffic Travis.

So what’s included in this free seo software?

• Page analysis: Almost like having an SEO expert look at your webpage and tell you what you are doing right, and what you are doing wrong.  This tool does all that, and then gives you solutions for improving your on-page SEO!

• Position ranking: Keeps a daily, weekly or monthly record of exactly where your website is ranked for any search term. Check all the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN Live, Ask and Altavista) and see whether you’re going up in the search engines … or down.

• Keyword finder: A cutting edge keyword finder tool to give you a huge number of relevant keywords.

• Keyword sorter: An essential keyword sorter tool that enables you to categorize extremely large lists of keywords into targeted adgroups for PPC purposes.

• Top sites for keywords: Quickly find all the top sites for your various keywords… then analyze them to see if you can steal some of their tricks.

• Backlinks to site: Who is linking to you? Who is linking to your competitors? What pagerank are they? What anchor text are they using? And by analyzing your competitors with this tool you can find other great sites to buy/trade links with.

• Keywords/details: Discover how many advertisers are advertising on each keyword and whether there’s a heavy turnover in advertisers. This could mean that the keyword isn’t as profitable as everyone thinks!

• Top sites for keywords: Who are the biggest players in your niche? Which keywords are they bidding on? Suss out who your major competitors are, and then analyze their campaign. After all… they must be making money…

• Websites Keyword list: A more indepth keyword snooping tool… this shows you whether competitors keep advertising on a particular word, or whether they drop it periodically. (Consistently advertising on a keyword means it must be really profitable!) This tool also easily shows ad ranking position, so you can see which positions seem to work the best…

I absolutly love this free seo software!  Ever since I downloaded I can not get enough of it, Traffic Travis has literally saved me hours of research, allowing me more time to improve other areas of my business/website, such as the actual web design.

It is a great idea to add pictures in your blog posts. They not only help attract your readers to read your posts, but can also help you rank higher in the search engines. Pictures are worth a thousand words, so you can see how they help attract readers to actually read your posts, but how can Google and other search engines see pictures as an advantage and rank your site higher up in their search results?

This Brings Us To Our 3rd SEO For Wordpress Tip: How Use The <ALT> Tag For Your Images

You are probably asking what in the world is and ALT tag anyway and how is this going to help me with SEO?

- To keep it simple and ALT tag is simply the description of your picture or image.  This is Not visible to your readers,

However;

- This description will shows up on your readers screen if the actual image for some reason does not load/display on their browser. Your reader will then see the description of the picture where the picture would have been.

- By using this description <ALT> tool will also help people with impaired vision who rely on different screen reading technology in order to view web pages.  Where the screen reader will actually read the text within the <ALT> tags from the image.

Now comes the biggest kicker as to why you should always use the <ALT> tag for your images!

- ALT tags are very helpful when it comes to Search Engine Optimization!

- The search engines use the information you provide in the description/<ALT> tags to further classify the overall content of your blog or website.

- In other words the search engines use the description of your images as KEYWORDS!!!

- So if you want to rank higher on certain keywords then make sure that your main keywords are present within the <ALT> tags or description of your images.

So How Do You Insert A Description Into Your Images?

Well if you have a regular website that uses HTML you can use this code:

<img src=”http://yourdomainname.com/image.png”  alt=”Here is where you put your image description”/>

OR….

Wordpress Makes this process even more simple.

- Use your WordPress image uploader to add an image to your post (This can be done by clicking the Add an Image button right next to the Upload/Insert text within your Add a New Post page, OR by going to media –> add new–>Select Files –>Select your image and press ok

- After you selected your image you want to upload there will be a screen that should pop up that looks like the following:

- In the box that says description you want to type your description of the image this is what will be shown in your <ALT> tags also remember to put your main keyword within this section to help with SEO.

- When you are finished Click the save button or if you insert into post button depending on where you inserted your image from.

Over the next couple of days I will be going through some easy quick fixes you can make to your blog in order to get a higher ranking in the major search engines and get more traffic overall!

Tip of the Day Number 1 : Using Custom Permalinks

What is a Permalink?

Each blog post is assigned their own permanent web site address (URL), this a called a permalink.  This link is automatically generated when you publish a new post.  The default permalink in Wordpress looks like the following:

http://yourdomainname.com/?p=100/

where the p stands for post, and the 100 is just the ID that is assigned to that particular post.

However, in Wordpress you can customize your permalink to be more search engine friendly!

Why Should I Customize?

If you want your site to be ranked higher in the search engines, customizing your permalinks is a must!  When you customize permalinks, you are automatically inserting keywords into the URL of your posts.  This will allow for search engines to reconize the keywords in your post and include your site in searches done on those search keywords.  One of the biggest things search engines look for when determining what sites to put in their results and their ranking, mainly depends on the keyword typed into the search and the keywords the search engine retrieves from different websites.

The default permalink in Wordpress is not keyword friendly what so ever!  It does not contain any keywords at all, its just a number of your post.  If you were to change the default to a custom permalink structure, you can automatically include the titles of your posts, which will then give you that keyword in your URL.  The custom format that I currenly use looks like this:

http://yourdomainname.com/2009/04/09/my-post-title

where when you break down the URL it is, year/month/day/your post title

How Do You Change Permalink to Make it More Search Engine Friendly?

The good news is that this pocess is fairly simple!!!

To choose the permalink settings you want to:

1.)  Go to settings menu (at the bottom of the left side bar in your Wordpress admin dashboard)

2.)  Click on Permalinks (the Permalink Settings page should open it looks like this:

Here you will see the different options you have to customize your permalinks.  You will notice that the default box is selected under the common settings section. This is what we want to change!

3.)  You want to Select the Custom Structure box.

4.)  You can then type in the permalink setting you want. So lets type in the new permalink!

To make the permalink look like this:

http://yourdomainname.com/2009/04/09/my-post-title

Type:   http://yourdomainname.com/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

**Make sure that you put the slashes before/between/at the end of each tag

**Also by changing the permalink structure will affect the permalinks for previous posted material as well

5.) Click SAVE when you are finished

Below is a quick guide of what you can put in the customize permalink:

%postname%     =    The name of your post separated by hyphens (your-post-name)

%category%      =     The category name of your post

%post_id%          =    The ID of the post (ex. 123)

%author%          =     Post’s author

%year%              =     Year of post

%monthnum%  =    Month of post in numbers (April= 04)

%day%                =     Day of post in number

Hope this helps!
