I had the pleasure of guest posting on a number of blogs recently to promote my book about successful blogging. One of the most important parts of blogging is to track your analytics. Check out this post, which is a shorter version of a chapter in my book, to read some of the things to look at in Google Analytics to measure the success of your blog. Here’s my favorite:
Visits by hour (Visitors > Visits > Graph by Hour) and by day will help you determine the best times to post each week. Do you see a spike in visits on each Monday and Tuesday? Do you see a dip in visits on weekends? Is most of your traffic between certain hours of the day? Analyze the data to determine when you should schedule your posts to be published on your blog.
