Today i have just registered and installed the Google Analytics to my blog. If you don't know what google analytics does, it is used to track and monitor traffic on the site. At the moment i don't know what is the traffic like on my site not to mention if anyone is indeed visiting my blog.
I chose Google Analytics is because, well it is from google and my blog is by google, so it should be more integrated. Also registering is easy and it is free as well. On installing the tracker is pretty easy, just copy the codes generated and paste it to the blog. I just hope i did it correctly cause the tracker updates every 24 hours on the traffic of the blog.
