Getting to Know Google Analytics

If you want to access this information, then log on to your Google Analytics Account to visit your dashboard. Essentially, there are roughly 140 reports which the system can give you. Some of the most basic ones are:

  • Site usage – A graphical view the daily visits you have received for the previous month (this would include the number of page views, number of pages per visit, average time spent in visiting your site).
  • Bounce rate – this is the number of people who have landed in the homepage and then after that, moved on to another page in your website).

Up Your SEO With A Landing Page

Guests might feel uneasy if they entered directly into, say, the middle of the kitchen or a bedroom. The same goes for a website. A landing page allows visitors to enter through an area that the webmaster has designed to make them feel comfortable, and of course, to heighten the chances that they might buy something. The idea of a landing page is a ploy both to turn surfers into consumers and improve a website’s standing with Google. Webmasters listen up; this seemingly simple idea is a goldmine if used correctly. Make your SEO dreams come true – read on.
