Just my work area in the kitchen. Kickin’ it with Ubuntu Linux 9.04… is it any different than anything else? But Ubuntu is faster than Windows XP… and free!

Yesterday’s Top Visits

In the world of Google, any post can be an entrance way to your blog, regardless of hold old it is. Google’s massive auto-search capabilities allows it to scour the world wide web constantly, in a herculean effort to index all websites.

One tip that I’ve learned from an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) site is that, if you re-edit older posts, Google will re-index them!

So, periodically, I check which blog posts have been getting a lot of hits recently, and I see if I can re-edit the post and make it better. This, in turn, causes Google to re-index that post.

So, I’m monitoring which of my posts are getting the most visits on a daily basis, in a feeble effort to find out what interests my visitors.

And thanks to Google Analytics, these are the Top 10 most visited posts from yesterday…

Utilizing Google Analytics

Is anyone else out there using Google Analytics to analyze their site’s performance and site statistics?

It’s pretty powerful stuff and there’s a lot you can do. I haven’t even begun to tap all of the powerful features it has. Part of it has to do with not having enough time, but I’ll have to spend some time really digging into all its features.
