How to install Google Analytics in Blogger

1 comments

Google Analytics is really, really popular because it gives you information about your site like where people came from, which page is the most popular, etc, for free. This information is important for you so you can tell where to focus your efforts on.

Well, this is a quick tutorial teaching you how to successfully install Google Analytics on any Blogger-hosted blog. This technique is easily applied to other blog sites and even normal sites. The concept is the same.


Prequistes
-A blog
-Basic skill on how to use computer (copy and pasting for example!)

Steps
2. Click 'Access Analytics'
3. Sign in with your Google Account; if you don't have one, sign up here.
4. You will be on the main page of Google Analytics. Click '+Add new account' (Tip: Use Ctrl+F or Cmd+F to find it)
5.Click Sign up on the next page, then enter in all necessary info. Click continue.
6.You'll be prompt to add your Contact Information. Do so and continue.
7. Check 'Yes, I agree to the above terms and conditions.' to continue.
8. You'll be presented with a page that shows you your Tracking Code. Click the code once to select it all, then right click>Copy.
9. Log into your Blogger account, and select the blog you want to add the code to. Click 'Layout'.
9. Then in the sub-menu, click Edit HTML
10. Click on the HTML code to focus it, then either scroll down or Ctrl+F and search for <./body>
IMPORTANT: REMOVE THE . FROM <./body> first! .
11. Paste the code from Google Analytics (Your Tracking Code) right before it (Place your cursor before <./body> (remove the dot!) and right click>paste or Ctrl+V.)
12. Done! Go back to Google Analytics, click continue if you are on the Tracking Code screen, and check 'Status' on the table. If, when moused over, or it looks like a clock, your done!


Troubleshooting
- When I'm at my site, it says 'Tracking Unknown' and I have a exclamation mark in a triangle. Help?
