Great post. I’m learning a lot. Thanks a lot. Now i’m in the phase to understand how to monitor RSS feeds with google analytics.
I currently use StatPRess, To know the total number of visit should I add to visits the no. of RSS per day? Right?

Thanks, Linda

I’m using WP and we’re still working on the core programming. This week, we’re working on dealing with spyware on the codes.

I need to wait til after we’re done with problems before the spiffy stuff (design details).

I’ll definitely put it on my wish list notes.

Hi Kim,

It has to do with the design, not the blogging platform. It’s CSS code. Anyone can have an image like that for bullet points – it just takes adding the image to your server and adding a line of CSS into your code. If you want any help setting up something like that, let me know and I can take a look. (What blogging platform are you using?)

Thanks!

Great article Lynda with amazing details.

By the way, I love the little icon that you have to punctuate your points.

Is that resident in your blog platform?

Hi Texan Mama! Nice to see you drop by from the sits forums!

So, there are probably whole BLOGS devoted to how to decrease bounce rate! It’s one of those SEO magic tricks everyone tries to do. One technique is not to have the full post on your front page so it forces at least one extra click to read a full article.

No worries about the Facebook fan stuff – if you don’t use it, then just delete the row from tracking and/or add in anything else you do want to track, like Google Friend Connect followers.

Your fan page isn’t really tied into your personal page, though I believe they might be able to see who’s personal facebook page administers the fan page.

Hi Lynda. I was wondering about bounce rate… how exactly can one work on lowering it? I just dont’ know… my posts change daily so I don’t know a way to really combat that.
Also I have NO idea about facebook. I don’t really “do” facebook. I have a fan page but I can’t figure out how or if it’s linked to my personal page, both of which are really for my blog.
