Google Analytics is awesome! I used it recently to increase my affiliate sales. I noticed that when I added a new blog post, the traffic remained constant but the sales went down. I realized that I had pushed an article with a direct affiliate link off the first page. I wrote a new post, to put the aff link back on the front (since GA was telling me most of my traffic was on my index page). Sure enough, sales went back up.

I’m a newbie to Wordpress. Just registered with Google Analytics. They asked me to put Analytics code in my default page. The problem is, I don’t know where is the default page in my Wordpress. I knew that my home directory is wp-content but i just couldn’t find or identify which one is the default.

You Home or default directory is your public_html, where all content posted on your blog gets published live on the internet.
Google Analytics has left specified instructions for you to place the tracking code in your blog template.
They tell you to insert either before or after the
tag.So look for this in your header or footer.php file and insert the tracking code there.

Interesting. I just want to know are there secrets or special keywords that have to be in the blogs? How many times a day or a week do you have to blog in order to start seeing a good amount of traffic? I ask these things cause I have tried to blog with blogger.com with no luck.

There are no “special” keywords. Just keywords you want to target.
If your blog is in a tight niche, go and find out what keywords are searched in that market. Google Suggest is a good place to start with.
Some pro bloggers who recommend blogging daily with at least 3 posts for 3 months to get your blog noticed in your niche. There are no hard or fast rules in this. Some say quality better than quantity. It depends on the type of readers you have in your niche as well.
I hope this information helped.

Hi May Ong,
I was offline for the past few months due to other commitments. Hope it’s not too late to say thank you for the advice. Simple answer, but exactly just what I needed. It’s really helpful.
