Snippet about Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a freemium web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google launched the service in November 2005 after
acquiring Urchin . Google Analytics is now the most widely used web analytics service on the Internet. Google Analytics is offered also in two additional versions: the subscription-based Google Analytics 360 ,  previously Google Analytics Premium , targeted at enterprise users, and Google Analytics for Mobile Apps , an SDK that allows gathering usage data from iOS and Android Apps. Wikipedia



✔ Features of Google Analytics to webmasters


Overall Traffic Overview

It give an overview of bloggers traffic source. Traffic might be from anywhere on internet be it where you share your links to (like socia media), Google (if SEO is properly done), Direct traffic and backlinks Google analytics is also powerful as it gives statistical traffic overview on the traffic generated from ad platform like facebook ads, adwords and other Pay Per Click [PPC] networks.


Monitor Devices Used

Like Google Console did, google analytics track devices used by visitors to your website. It indirectly tell bloggers if blog is mobile friendly or not.
It give insight on the percentage of visitors who use either mobile or desktop.

Hence, if the percentage of visits received from mobile is always higher than the percentage of visits received from desktop, it means such blog must be well optimize for mobile veiw for effective ranking.

At times the percentage of mobile and desktop veiw might be equal or probably fluctuating, mean that both mobile and desktop must be well optimized.

Note:- If you are receiving a similar amount of visits from both devices [Mobile Vs Desktop] but less conversions on one, this shows there's being problems with the user experience using such device.


Track User Interation and Reactions

This give you the secrets notice of how visitors are reacting on your blog, how helpful your contents is, how they value your blog.

You can track which time they reviews, comment, like and share your post. These interactions are very important to who so called webmaster. You will have to learn how you will transform these increased interactions into actual call-to-actions (conversions) like purchases, downloads and subscriptions.

Page Quits
Wow! I love this because it give me the insight of my visitors rection when they landed on my pages.
There are some blogs that visitors do land on their page or content page and close due to some criterion

Reasons for page exit
- Poor designs

- Too much contents make them feel bored
Using this I was able to maximize my conversion as I was able to investigate how people do react when landed on my pages and able to correct my lackings.


✔ About Tracking ID and Tracking Code

Google analytics has owesome fearues as many other web tracking platform claiming to the best according to their services but to me, Google analytics is the best and most widest used. Now to get this tracking to be done for your blog or website you need something called tracking code or tracking ID geneated for blogs by the platform.

Tracking ID is just like a little numbers with two alphabets. It looks like this [my blog tracking ID; UA-112779337-1 ] which will be added to blogs via setting on blogger and though plugin on wordpress

Tracking code is also generated by the platform but differ from ID. It is lines of coding which will be added to blogger or wordpress template code right below the <head> tag. It looks like this-


Note: both ID and Code willl be generated just have to choose a preffered one of the two.
If you look at the above codes closely you will see the same tracking ID right after config in the last blogger

✔ How to Register and access google analytics

Access google analytics

- Logon to http://google.com/analytics I recommend you to use Google crome browser for easy navigation.

A new page opens giving you an insight on Google Analytics. Just hit the sign up button



Now the registration page open. Mind you, we want to be monitoring our blog or website not app.

Samples of ID and codes
Tracking ID: UA-112779337-1

Tracking Code:


✔ How add Tracking ID and Tracking Codes to blogger

There are two ways of installing this codes:
1. with the use of ID
2. with use of codes [requires template editing]
Any of the two ways, you are inline.

With the use of ID 「Simple steps to follow」

Logon to blogger dashboard ▷ Settings ▷ Other Settings ▷ Google Analytics ▷ Paste your tracking ID ▷ Save Settings



With The use of Codes

In blogger dashboard ▷ theme ▷ edit HTML.
One need to be extra very careful here because it contains series of code that make blogs function, a slight mistake will destroy all the codes.

Now hit CTRL +F to search for <head>
Just copy your tracking codes and paste immediately below the <head> tag ▷ click save template and you are done.

Google urge webmaster to use the codes because its more accurate than using ID. But to me its the matter of choice and using ID is more easier.

Add Google Analytics to Wordpress blog  or website also have two ways of doing it.


1. With the use of Plugin
2. With codes editing.

With the use od plugin
- Install Google Analytics plugin
- Go to settings ▷ plugin ▷
- Google Analytics and enter your Tracking ID and save.

Adding Google Analytics in site codes

- Log on to your Wordpress admin dashboard
- Click on Appearance ▷ click on Editor
- Paste the code under in the header tag.
- Hit the save button and that's all.

Note: you can add this codes only if you've upgraded your wp account you will have access to edtit their themes. Not like bloggers that give a full privilege to edit HTML codes for free.

This is all you need to get your blog tracking by google analytics. Tracking will not be effective at immediate hour as it takes Google to start tracking after some couple of hours.
I can't specify the time becuse im not part in Google team but I'm rest assure it will be effectiv after 24hours.

Don't eat this hot cake alone please do share with fellow bloggers and let us do more by adding your review through the comment section.

To Make Google and other search engines to crawl and index your post faster, such post should be well optimized.


SEO Friendly Post simply means posts that will find their way on search engines ranking in no time in order to get Higher ranking on search engine, To get more traffic, for more readers engagement and so on.


Best Practice For SEO Friendly Post in 2018

These are the things you need to take note of it while writing the post(s), a lot of posts get crawled and indexed by Google and others search engines within minutes and hours. And they also rank fast on google.


Fresh Posts

Before writing you have to do what is called keyword research, the keyword research is essential before writing a post because it determines a post’s title.
In a slogan; bloggers said, Content is the king, so you have to make sure you don’t copy posts and images.
Google loves fresh and new content not to write what others bloggers have written before. Ranking is being lowered on two blogs that copies each others and also when a post is beg duplicated it destroy their rankings.


Detailed Contents

Be sure to make your to be well detailed with effectie information. There is no way a blogger wouldn't get detailed informaion on a title once he or she is a proffessional in such niche. To make such to rank faster than any other is should be;
- well written and long
- must be at least 300words but no maximum
- you may choose to write 5000words based on your knowledge in your selected niche.


Usage Of Tags

tags include headings, italic, bold, blockquote and others. As a blogger, you have to put sub heading, headings and
others in your post, so that it will be easy to break down your content, you can use title tags in your article. the tags are:
<h1> … </h1> – Heading 1
<h2> … </h2> – Heading 2
<h3> … </h3> – Heading 3 ... H6

The H1 tag will be taken for your post title, so if you don’t use it in your article content, there won’t be a problem. I have seen some bloggers use the H1 tag again inside the article. That is totally wrong because google and others search engines take h1 has the post title.


Meta Description

The Meta description is very important when writing a post because it is how your post will be placed on google, so you have to let the meta description contains most searched keywords about what you are writing.
Meta Description isn’t a magical solution, but they will help ensure your website appears on search engine results pages.
To do meta description practice you have to navigate  to  template  codes editor, search for the following codes;


<meta contents= 'your blog description and keyword goes....' names='description'/>

See the sample for this blog
<meta contents='BlogTech, Blogging tips, Blogger, SEO, Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine Ranking, Alexa, Affiliate, Affiliate Marketing, App Development, App Review, App Downloading, Blog Review, E-books download, Blogger Template, Wordpress Template, Template Tweaking, Money Making Online, MMO, Ads, Social Media, Traffic, Blog Promotion, 'names='description'/>

Conclusion
Now, that you have read and know how to write a seo friendly post, always use it when writing your post, there is no any trick for crawling and indexing.

The others things to do to make your posts crawl and index at a faster rate are to get
backlinks after that then keep sharing the post.

2. Avoid post duplication.
When it comes to SEO, post duplication means to duplicate content or the same text existing at two different URLs -- something that you should always avoid. Republishing post  from another person's blog is not only an act of fraud and   copyright violation as it makes duplicate of post and google who loves new and fesh post might not rank those content well.
This act of copying another person's content is called plagiarism. You can make  use of any of these tools to check if your content has been copied somewhere.

3. Make navigation easy
Navigation is also important in improving blog SEO. Proper navigation makes search engine index your inks with ease. Navigation also plays a vital role when readers come to your blogger or wordpress blog. It engage readers more on your blog. The more often a page is linked within your website, the more PageRank flow it has and the higher it will rank in search-engine results pages [SERPs] for relevant queries.
You can make your blog navigation easy with just simple way
- interlinking - linking older post with new ones, older ones with new ones. See full article below.
- the use of gadjet like blogroll, blog archieve, popular post and random post.
By so doing it will make google crawler crawl through links to post for indexing.
To optimize your site’s navigation, internal link structure and PageRank flow using a tool like SiteLiner or Screaming Frog.


4. Interlinking - linking older post with new once.

Interlinking simply means adding a link of an old post to the new ones, it is a very good techniques for your seo and rankings, so you have to always do that.
This also let search engine crawl your old post if you use the do-follow link for the link, that means google will crawl the link, and if you use no- follow, that means they won’t.
This is done by getting older post title and link. Logon to blogger dashboard -> New Post.

In the post editing area write up the title, highlight the  text and click on hyperlink icon on the upper tool menu


 then paste the link


 then hit 'ok' button. Then you have have it


5. Heading tags and meta description usage

TAGS
When talking about tags we will be reffering to tools like headings, bold, alighment, paragraph, bullets, italics and so on...,

Heading tags starts from
Heading 1 refers to as h1
Heading 2 refers to as h2
Heading 3 refers to as h3
Heading 4 refers to as h4
Heading 5 refers to as h5
Heading 6 refers to as h6

Lets take a post as an example

「How to use permalink to improve SEO」 as my blog title and is to be bolder than any other text in the post. I will make use of Heading 1 by just highlighting the text and click Heading 1.

Now I will have so may sub-headings like 「What is Permalink?」 I will use Heading 2 because it will not as bolder that the main title

I still have another sub-heading like 「Power of permalink on blogs」 Heading 3

Another sub heading like 「How to use permalink on blogs」 Heading 4 and so on.

In a nutshell, the H1 tag will be taken for your post title, google and others search engines take h1 has the post title. You can use h2, h3,...h6, for other sub- headings

META DESCRIPTION
Meta description are still important for SEO purposes, meta descriptions have lost their influence in the ranking algorithm. Meta descriptions do, however, provide a perfect place to put some marketing talent to use, through the creation compelling copy that attracts clicks from the search-results page.
Meta descriptions should be present on each page of your site and should be relevant and optimized.

Note:- Too short or too long titles and descriptions do affect SEO alot so be vigilant to identify the title that best fit your articles.


6. Make your blog xtra faster

A site's load speed is a factor in search-engine rankings and it also affects the rates of converting visitors to customers.
The loading time a blog is determined by many different elements.

#1 template i.e the design of your blog - you must test a template on different browsers before selecting. This will make you experience what your readers will experience.

#2 Gadget and widget - avoid using unnecessary gadget they reduce blog loading time.

#3 Images - be vigilant on the type of image you will be using for your post, jpeg is faster loading on my blog that png or othe img format and even the size of the image matters. Blogger do take care of the size of your image in four ways. - Small - Medium - Large - xlarge.  Be sure to always set images to at least medium size so as to avoid slow loading.
Put your self in readers shoe, you're visiting a blog and the load time of the blog is taking a while (3-5 seconds) you will surely colse the page and left.

You can know how seepdy your blog is using a tool like Pingdom , which will give you a breakdown of each element and how long it takes your blog to load. Use the resulting information to optimize images or pieces of code that are causing long load times.

7. Don’t buy links. Earn them.
Because the quantity and quality of inbound links have a significant impact on a website's rankings, the temptation to buy links on other sites is strong. But link buying and selling are against Google’s Webmaster Guidelines .
Additionally, search engines are now very good at detecting suspicious, manipulative or unnatural links. The result? If you buy or sell links, your website’s search-engine rankings could fall significantly. Save your money and instead spend it on creating content that will earn or attract inbound links on its own merit.

How to earn links
Earning inbound links is simple except if you are lazy and ready to waste some dimes on buying links. There are many ways through you can earn backlinks.

- Social media posting : posting your blog links on social will allow readers bookmark such link for future poposes even if you've posted thousand of posts, they can easily refer back to the link.

- Blog commenting: commenting on other blog post will easily earn you backlinks. If commenting on others blogs, you will be prompt to input your name, email, website. Other poeple who are also commenting will then see your link and are likely to to check your link as well.

- Forum participating: be active in forums of the same niche with yours. Post tutorials with your links.

- If you are ebook writer, put your links inbetween the books either at the header or the footer of each pages. How do you get your own back links please share with us.

8. Be creative and Unique

Uniqueness and creativity must be the watch word of every so called bloggers. You referred to yourself as  a blogger who is ready to share effective information with the rest of the world because you are so passionate in the niche you selected. You must be able to source for information on your own without stress or copy from other bloggers. Do think deep down and ask your questions like; what information will be useful to my audience? How I'm I gonna write for readers love? How I'm I gonna write for SEO love? If I write, will readers will like to read? Is th post gonna be problems solving one? Will readers will like to come back for more?... Write posts based on what you know and your experience with plagiarism [Un authorized content theft]. Now you've created a unique content but you don't want to know weather the content has not being plagiarized. Here are the tools you can use

Best regards... Internet is a bae... Blogging is fun... Don't buy links, earn them.

There is love in sharng.

How to use Permalink to improve SEO

Permalink is one of the greatest blogger tool that I personally use in optimizing my blog. It is an idea of shorten blog post link which people are likely to search for in search engines like google, yahoo, or bing

See my last post here must have apps for bloggers using smart phones

What is permalink

Permalink is a short word for permanent-link. A link that is permanent for blogger posts. This is the link that shows in the address bar of internet browser.
Blogger do configure permalink for each post in case the link is complecated than what people are likely to remember.


Also, a permalink or permanent link is a URL that is intended to remain unchanged for many years into the future, yielding a
hyperlink that is less susceptible to link
rot. Permalinks are often rendered simply,
that is, as friendly URLs, so as to be easy
for people to type and remember. Most
modern blogging and content-syndication
software systems support such links.
Sometimes URL shortening is used to
create them. [Wikipedia]

Example of permalink On Blogger

Let take a new blog post as an example
A blog post titled: 「All Android applications that almost every bloggers should have on their-smartphones」

Its default link will go like this
- www.pranktech.com/2017/12/all-android-applications-that-almost-every-bloggers-should-have-on-their-smartphones.html


Now looking at that link, its somehow very long and its gonna be difficult to find people to type such a thing in search engines. This is when the use of permalink will come in.
Instead of publishing this post with the default link why don't you make use of that amazing tool called PERMALINK. So that long default link www.pranktech.com/2017/12/all-android-applications-that-almost-every-bloggers-should-have-on-their-smartphones.html will now be configured to a shorter one which will have a better potential on search engines ranking and which people might likely to type in the search engines. It can be put in the following forms.

Before permalink
www.pranktech.com/2017/12/all-android-applications-that-almost-every-bloggers-should-have-on-their-smartphones.html

Afer using permalink
- www.pranktech.com/2017/12/app-every-blogger-must-have.html

- www.pranktech.com/2017/12/apk-apps-needed-by-bloggers.html and so on.

Examples of permalink On WordPress

A new WordPress post like 「Major challenges faced by blogger」 default link for such post goes like this: www.pranktech.com/post/blogging/post10997 or www.pranktech.com/2017/16/major/challenges/faced/by/blogger s

After permalink it can be put as:-
- www.pranktech.com/challenges-faced-in-blogging-proffession/
- www.pranktech.com/blogging-constraints/
- www.pranktech.com/my-bad-experience-as-a-blogger/

You will notice that after permalink is used it a little bit shorter than the default link and even its likely people search for them than the default link and the numeric format is eliminated on WordPress.

How to add permalink to wordpress post

Method 1
In WordPress, the term slug is used for the url friendly name of a post, page, tag, or category. It is automatically generated by WordPress and used in URL when you create a new item.

For example, a new post titled “20 Most Amazing Coffee Shops in Manhattan”,
WordPress would generate a post slug like this 20-most-amazing-coffee-shops-in- manhattan.
Depending on what permalink structure you have, your post
URL will look something like this:
http:// example.com/2016/02/20-most-amazing-coffee-shops-in-manhattan/

Now if you just want to change that slug part of the permalink, then that’s easy to do before publishing such post without installing any plugins or coding.

Method 2
The easiest way to change the slug part of a URL for a WordPress post and page, or custom post types is by editing them.
To do that, logon to your wordpress dashboard



On the post edit screen, look just below the post title and you will see the post URL with an edit button next to it.

Img 2

Clicking on this edit button will allow you to change the post slug.
For a more SEO friendly URL, make sure you choose a post slug that contains keywords people would use to search for that content. Wpbeginer


Power of permalink to blogger

Bookmarking and sharing
The use of Permalink is essential as they directs reader to the particular article in order to make them bookmark for future refference.
It also basically freezes the article so that even if your blog has posted thousands of other articles, a reader can always refer back to that permalink.

​Imrovement of SEO
Permalinks are also important for building the structure of your website and
improving your SEO (search engine
optimization). Using structured and well thought out permalinks can make the difference between your article staying relevant and ranking high on Google or getting lost in the thousands of posts out there.


Do's',  Don't's' and Effects of Permalink on blogger or WordPress blog

Prompt to error: Changing your permalink after it has been posted might result in a 404 error on the old url, especially on blogger, affecting your Google rankings heavily. If you have to change it, you should redirect the old one to the new one.

Avoid using complecated grammer: As a blogger, we know that it is important to have a well-though out title for more clicks from Google. Using keywords not only helps with this but it is also a way for readers to know what exactly the article is about.

Makes a link unique: You should never have two articles with similar permalinks because Google won't know which one they should show in their search results.

Avoid using symbols, numbers or other characters: A dynamic URL is one where the content changes as it is pulled from a database for a reader to see. These URLs contain characters such as ?, =, and $. On the other hand, static URLs never change. Using a static URL without those symbols will make it easier for both readers and search engines to understand.

Stick to lower case characters: search engines can tell the difference between an uppercase and lowercase letter. Therefore if you have two URLs leading to the same webpage, the search engine will register them as two different web pages, dividing up the "SEO power" between the two of them.

Use dashes (-) not underscores (_): Search engines register an underscore as an additional part of a word, making your URL seem longer. Dashes, on the other hand, are registered as being a word separator.

Don't use words like "the" "your" etc. They're given low priority in the eyes of Google and thus make your permalink unnecessarily long.

Simple URL: Google actually claims that having permalinks with more than 3-5 words not only looks spammy, but will also affect your Google rankings.

Rank Better in google

SEO the accronym for  Search engine optimization. SEO is the activities of increasing the level of the number of people who visited your blog through search engine like google, bing, yahoo...

Getting rank in google give a website organic traffic which is the best than using paid traffic. Organic traffic always stake with blogs everytime of fresh updatea.

How get ranked in google search engine to ensure organic traffic.

Here is a quick, simple search engine tricks

1. The use of header 'H1' Tags: This is the use of uppercase characters in the title of blog post. The uppercase used for a blog post might be an influence of which the post will have its root in google search engine.

I read a blog post with headline "Best HOSTING Platforms" when someone searches for keywords like HOSTING that is present in the Heading tag your website might be one on the first page.

2. The Use of Meta Description: This is the little characters you provided use to describe your blog. All blogger templates has the meta description locates in its code area. The meta description you use for your website should also include the keywords you want your target audience to search for.

3. Dont forget about blogger Permalinks: This refers to permanent URL links of some particular post on your blog. It is advantageous to include your keywords in these permalinks in order to be considered for higher ranking on Google. This post as an example http://pranktech.blogspot.co.ke/2017/11/how-to-build-audience-13-ways-reviewed.html?m=1 If you use permalinks you can put like this pranktech.blogspot.com/build-audience or 'audience building'. So people searching for any of these keyword might likely to get your link and landed on your blog..

4. Backlinking is also powerflul: It is done when other blogs mentioned your link in their blog post probably they make reference or just mention your blog in theirs. The idea behind this is to always do some freelance writing to others blogs and provide your link. I wrote a guest post for a buddy, a pakistan blogger which has the average of 7000 views in a month provided the post my links telling to visit my blog for hot blogging tips. Imagine it, I received 875 visits through this single post.

5. Write the best content.
There are many blogs of the same niche with yours and even there are countless upcoming ones. Everything has become competition, google will rank blogs that writes for their love over those folks without best content. Take your time to write the best of the best contents which readers will also loved to read. Example of an article "How to Become a bigtime earner: everybody wanna make make money from blogging, bloggers will like to read this article if they came across it in google search engine.

6. Put the keyword in your page title.
Your page title should contain your keyword, but that doesn't mean it has to be exact (though it can be).
Additionally, the title must also be interesting enough that people will actually want to click on it! A good example of this You blog about SEO you might have a post that says - Always appears top in Google rank ...   that is something I would want to read.


7. Naming pictures the name of blog post
A  blog post that contains images, you can use those images to cement the idea to Google about your post's topic. You know we search for pictures from google, if a picture is clicked they land to your blog There are two ways to do this:
1. The image name
2. The image alt tag
To change the image name, simply change the name of the image on your computer before uploading. Instead of a file called "28662977366e724.png," you can re-name it something like "15 app a blogger must have.jpg."

The "alt tag" is something you designate after you upload the photo to your blog. Without getting too technical, the alt tag is simply the text that the web browser will show if the photo can't load for some reason. You can do this by adding caption.

8. Insert internal links in between your posts
Yes this works like a magic. It makes your readers to stay a long while on your blog, it increases your traffic. This is very simple with just adding links of your older post in the current post.
If you aren't talking about your best content, why should anyone else care? For this reason, it's important that your best SEO content be linked to internally by other pages on your website.
Yes, this means you may need to go back and edit some older posts to include links to the new, incredible content.
