Google Analytics - Is it called this because it makes you go GOOGLE!
When I went into the so-called "Internet Marketing" business before, I believe this was what ran me out with my tail between my legs...GOOGLE!
No, I wasn't banned or shunned from Google. I just couldn't figure out the dang analytics of everything! I will give them credit, they do have the title of this event named correctly:
Google "Anal" lytics....UGH!
Today I watched WABinar Hot Seat. (https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/wabinar-hot-seat-live-website-reviews)
If you are new to WA or just want to see if you are dotting your I's and crossing your T's when you are setting up these niches, this is a video to watch. Make sure and download the checklist that magistudios supplies.
So my goal today was to make sure my Google Analytics, Google Authorship and everything googly was setup correctly....of course it wasn't on my two new sites. It was on Kitchendrippings.com and had been for the past year or so.
My other goal was to make sure all my Gmail accounts would forward to one because I am tired of having 3 or so accounts to check every day. It is not hard because Google makes it pretty simple but I am lazy and from the South. I just want to drink my sweet tea and watch NASCAR all day!
Never in my LIFE have I been so turned around backwards and not knowing which way I was going than I was today trying to setup this stuff. O.M.G.
You click here and it takes you there but you go back here to refresh and this is suppose to be there but it doesn't show up and you have to go back and it tells you "Are you sure?" HELL I DON'T KNOW!!!
I honestly wish I could give you a valuable lesson that you could walk away with and I could put up a pretty tutorial like LabMan or Kyle or Carson and you guys could throw flowers at my feet....but...
In my process of getting my sites lined up here is what I have done:
- I changed my default email to an email that shouldn't be the default
- I wiped out a years worth of analytic data on kitchendrippins.com (When it asked "Are you sure" I should have clicked "NO")
- I still have 3-4 email boxes that I have to check, again with a new default email
- I now have all kinds of G+ accounts and no idea how those are encircled LOL HAHAHA! (this one kills me LOL)
BUT on the plus side...
- ALL my sites are setup under Google Analytics under that one main default email ROFL
- I did get my Authorship setup for Makin Vapes and Wealthy Affiliate Info and hopefully I didn't mess up Kitchen Drippings (gotta check it LOL)
And I think that is about all there is on the plus side.. All that took me about hrmmm....3 hours!
So long story even longer....I AM NOT QUITING!! I refuse to let Google run me off this time! ON WARDS TO BING!

The technical aspects of things certainly can be a bit frustrating. Hang in there and you eventually slay your google dragon.
Very true. The Google scorpion is the same color as a black hole. It eats everything else including light lol!
Sounds like my obstacles, but I have confidence that if we press forward long enough, we will see the light at the end of this crooked tunnel and come out the other end on top of the heap.:-) Jerry Mc
If you need help screwing things up Jerry I got your back :) I can't let any Oklahoma boy down!
Only 3 hours to do what you did? That's actually fast! If you told me you really understood I won't believe you. Same story for me, about Google running me off years ago. And, they almost did it again this year! Right now, I think I'm winning, but situation could change at any moment. What kind of a mind would it take to really, really, understand all of Google's the stuff?
I'm having big traffic day for www.wowtamarindo.com , but it's because of my new Facebook ad. Who would have thought?
Ah my site... Looks like I included a trailing comma in my hyperlink. Fixed now! I thought maybe it was Google punishing me for what I said. LOL
I got my bags packed famous!!! LOL I do know how to turn on a computer so I can assist ya know ROFL

Dana , you should do short funny stories or as a back up days of lives, you would make a fortune.
Does that mean I need to open another site? What is really funny is now I can't figure out how to get back to the account I set all this up under! LOL
