Use Google to Spy
They say you learn something new every day.
Lately, I’ve been putting a lot of time into honing my SEO skills. A great starting point for anyone beginning on this trek is to use the vast array of free tools out there. A great starter tool is Google Analytics. I’m amazed the amount of information I get out of it. I can track anything from my most popular article to how fast a user’s connection speed is. The most fun feature to me is the geography because I can see where all of my users are located down to the county…err Parish if you’re in Louisiana…line! I have readers all over the United Sates as well as Poland and Jamacia.
Anyway, being from New Orleans and traveling much of the state, I was surprised to learn of a place I’ve never heard of…Killona, Louisiana. Apparently it is only like 25 miles from where I grew up and in the same Parish (St. Charles) as a girl I dated. Anyway, I thought this was neat to learn about a new place in this manner. Much love to my readeR in Killona!
I love Google Analytics. It’s so entertaining learning about your readers, how they find you, and what they’re reading. Who would’ve thought I have multiple readers in Australia??
