This is one of the great features of the Blogger’s New Interface. With the stats feature, you can now monitor the number of your page views, traffic sources, and the demography of your audiences. This will be great for SEO and marketing because you can now make the needed adjustments for more traffic and income based on realistic results. Here is our guide on how to monitor your stats in Blogger:
1. Go to your dashboard.
2. Click the name of your blog. Then, click the Stats menu in the left side of the interface.
3. You can now see a graph of the number of the page views your blog is gaining in a span of five days. The image will speak to you if there is an increase or decrease in your traffic. If the graph is falling down, you might want to optimize more and increase your traffic. If it is increasing, this only means your SEO moves are doing great.
4. Next to the graph is the table of page views. You can see the number of page views of the current day, the past day, the past month, and lastly your all-time record. This table works the same with the graph but it has a wider coverage. You might want to record your traffic per month to see what month is your blog gaining the most number of page views and you might want to invest on it. You might also do some recovery on the months that seems slow for you.
5. Below the graph are actual titles of your blog posts that gained the most page views the whole time. Blogger could display many posts as long as they have the highest record of page views. You might want to monitor this closely so that you will know what posts are really gaining that much and what posts needs more optimization. If you have the money post and it is not gaining much traffic compared to your other posts, you might want to link those posts to the money posts or optimize it so that it will rose to fame.
6. Traffic sources are the sites where your visitors came in before going to your site. This might be a search engine like Google or Yahoo. This might be the sites that you have links to your blog. If you traffic from search engines or what we called organic traffic, you are doing well in search engine optimization because your blog posts rank higher against the competition. If you have traffic from sites where you have posted your links, you might want to optimize those sites too or build more links in order to gain more traffic.
7. Lastly, the Audience map. You can see a map of the whole world and the green-colored areas are the place where your viewers came from. The very sure one that you will see is your place because you are counted as one of the viewers of your blog. This is great in localized optimization because you can monitor the traffic that comes from your place. You can also make adjustments through this to optimize on the target area. If you want many American viewers, you can monitor this on the map.
This feature is not…
1. the actual SEO. This is just your guide on how, what, where, and when to optimize.
2. the tool that generalized viewers and visits. There are monitoring tools that differentiate page views and visits. Visits are those with the longer time of viewing or those who actually clicks or engage in your blog. Thus, visits are more important that views sometimes. However, do not take views slightly because it is also useful in making your blog famous, alive, and you can also earn from impressions alone. In Blogger, only page views are measured. You can use a free widget from Sitemeter.com that actually measures views and visits as two different figures. We will discuss about it later in this blog.
3. making your view as an exception. It actually records your own view of your own blog. This means when you visit your blog to check something, or when you want to publish your post and proofread it, this is actually counted as a view by Blogger. This is not actually a problem because at least you know your stats are working; just do not count it as a profitable traffic.
