5 Ways To Make Google Analytics Benefit You

Google Analytics is absolutely free and there are many benefits that come with installing it on your site. We've listed the top five things you can do as soon as you start tracking your site with Analytics:
  1. AdWords advertisers can make Analytics available right in their AdWords account as a separate tab through a simple linking process. Advertisers can review extra data for their online campaigns by tracking landing page quality and conversions (goals), and pick out their highest performing ads.
    You can also use Analytics to track other Google products including AdSense, Blogger, and Google Sites.
  2. See which pages drive the most pageviews on your site from the Top Content report. This report can answer questions you have about your most or least effective pages - for example, a high bounce rate indicates a landing page that should be redesigned or tailored to the specific ad which links to it.
  3. Which groups of visitors became customers or did something else important to the success of your business? You can get key insights for these questions by setting up goals.
  4. Grant other people in your company or organization access so that they are restricted to viewing reports in a profile or given full access to help manage your entire account as an administrator.
  5. There are over 80 reports with customizable, drag-and-drop interfaces. You can also create your own reports with Custom Reporting, create the segments you want to see with Advanced Segmentation, or view multi-dimensional views of your data with Motion Charts.

Get traffic from the search engines

To get traffic from the search engines you need links to your website, lots of links. This is because the search engines give better rank to pages with inbound links than to pages with little or no links.

Here's an easy way to get links from blog comments. Just type the following search query into Google:

wordpress comments "your keywords"

Where you replace "your keywords" with the specific keywords your are targeting with your website.

When you search like that you will find wordpress blogs related to your niche where you can post relevant comments and include a link back to your site.

Make sure to use different variations of your keywords when you link back!

A good strategy when commenting on blogs is to write something that ads value to the discussion. That way some people reading your comment will become interested in what you do and click through to your website to check you out.
Links from blogs in the same niche as your website is a lot more valuable for SEO than links from random unrelated blogs. The search engines considers the theme of the link when deciding how to rank your site.

For those who missed out the news, just recently was launched a free(beta version) tool from Semrush team called ‘SEMRush GEO‘ which let PPC Fans and SEO Professionals, and bloggers to find local AdWords Advertisers and clients with just a few mouse clicks.

The best part of this free tool is that shows sites advertising in Google AdWords and mapped on Google Maps by their addresses, so you have a full overview of all companies located in a particular area you’ve choosen and know what are the most profitable. For Whom SEMRush GEO May Be Useful?

For bloggers this tool can be useful to spy company that already buy AdWords and improving their AdWords campaign. E.g. you can offer them local businesses, help put their business online and attract more clients (e.g. help them to set up a blog, promote it, and so on). Even, you can offer local AdWord ads on your blog and help them reach a wider audience. How Does Geo Semrush Works?

First at all, go on geo.semrush.com. If you drag the map and zoom in and out you can view regions with lots of AdWords advertisers and zoom in to view their exact locations. In general, the map show you three main simbols:

    * A red circle
    * A Gold circle
    * A little windows with all company informations
Start this typing the key term “Jersey City”(ps: the image below show ‘New York’ as key term, it was a mistake). As I said above, this tool let you see red circles in the map. What does it means? In brief, they represent regions where AdWords advertisers are located. The bigger the circle are, the more advertisers are located in this region. Simple right? You can drag and zoom the map to find regions you’re looking for, with a maximum of 100 regions, sorted by number of advertisers, are shown for current map.

Now, click on the region “Jersey City”

Next, you should see Golden coins in the map which show locations of AdWords advertisers. The bigger the coin are, the more AdWords Ads this advertiser has. If you move the mouse over each Golden coins, a windows will appear with all details about the company, in particular it show you:

1. Company name(e.g. TheLadders), 2. Company domain name(e.g. TheLadders.com), 3. Link to Google Maps for this domain name, 4. Company address(e.g. 137 Varick street, New York, NY 10013-1105), 5. Number of AdWords keywords that SEMRush knows for this domain name (e.g. 41961). 6. Report button.

Any Adwords ads in the left sidebar(image above) link to SEMRush’s AdWords report which let you track many things about the company sites you’re interested in. Here are just a few element you can check through this strong tool:
    * Pos: It show you any position ranking for the keyword you select.
    * Volum: Average volume of searches for this keyword per month.

How Does To Use All This Data? A Pratical Example: For instance, in little time you could create a list of local, hotels, restaurants and other shops advertising on AdWords and start contacting them with an offer they can’t refuse. You could say something similar…
    “Hi. My name is Harry. I want to help your company attract more clients and sell additional products and make you increase your montly income stream. I’d like if we can working together. I can provide proven blogging services and I’d like to schedule a 30-minute consulting call with you to see if I can help with your specific business needs. Hope in a quick answer.

Using online marketing with offline marketing is a perfect mix to improve profit. As I said above if you’re offering blogging services, then this is a great opportunity for you to help clients make more money. Also, with the free(beta version) you can also see local AdWords advertisers in some country, say like in US, UK or India.

Blogging to the Bank

By now I think most people in the world know about blogs.
What most don’t know as there is a great income to be made as well for free.

Rob Benwell is only a mere 25 years old and has already made several million dollars. Early in 2006 he shared his secrets with the world in his highly successful Blogging To The Bank ebook and has made making money online a whole lot easier for everyone.

Just over two years after the success of his first book and over 20,000 copies sold of it and to date Rob and his team have helped over 100,000 make money blogging. He is now releasing his fifth version of Blogging to the Bank as his past customers demand his very latest findings and moneymaking systems.

I got this post as soon as I could and it covers quite a lot of new information and techniques to adapt your blog to the new demands of the major search engines. Many of the techniques in the old book are now dated and don’t work so well. This is why Blogging To The Bank 2011 is a godsend.

Also this guy doesn’t consider himself to be a “guru”, he’s just a normal guy who wants to help the little guys out. I find this a nice change as he doesn’t talk “down” to you like most of the other guys do. He explains everything in a nice simple manor so everyone can understand.

Saying that when he “goes off on one” it may take a few reads until you get it but when you do it’s just shear genius. Some of the topics in my opinion could have been covered a little more, then others went into great detail.

His book starts off with market research (so that you are making the most of your time) to building your blogging empire. Yo must follow to give your blogs the greatest success in 2011 and keep them future proofed. This should be printed out and put on the wall of every online marketer without a doubt!

Everything is covered in this new outing that helps bloggers with todays online issues regarding making the all mighty search engines happy.

Final Verdict: if you are out there in the blogging world and want to make money the easy way then I highly recommend Blogging To The Bank 2011.

Why work harder than you need to as the new techniques are there ready for you to simply implement.
