Google Analytics lets you know the number of people that are visiting your website, what they do when they’re still on your site, and where they are linking from.

All, without spending a dime…

Yes, it’s totally free for everyone. Google developed and installed some high-quality software and makes it accessible for everyone. And there aren’t any pitfalls either. Anyway, maybe there’s a pitfall.

Google Analytics may be intricate sometimes. It has lots of advanced features and innumerable reports for pro bloggers and marketers. But all of these can be skipped.

Without accessing the advanced features, you still definitely have lots of value to enjoy in the basic features and reports. And it’s completely easy to set up. All you need to do is log in or, simply create an account if you don’t have a Gmail account, and then install Google Analytics on your WordPress website. Once done, you’ll get most of the value even without having to work on any fussy customization.

Here are three simple steps to setting up Google Analytics on your site:

  1. Obtain your Google Analytics tracking code
  2. Install the Analytics tracking code on your website
  3. Confirm Analytics is correctly set up

Thanks Israel, I have been having trouble with this since October. I have just added the tag to my header in Theme Editing and will see if it works now over the next couple of days.

Your training is excellent.

Much welcome onboard, WilliamBH! Setting up Google Analytics has never been easier. You need to activate your own Universal Meta Tag to your website so you can keep track of real-time traffic that's coming to that site even while you are in bed. Thanks for reading this training piece! See you at the top soonest!
