Check Stats

Analytics

Log into http://analytics.google.com to review your stats. Make two lists:

  1. Which countries are represented by your visitors?
  2. Which states are represented by your U.S. visitors?

As a class, we'll make a list of all countries and all states visiting our class.

Webmaster Tools

Now look at Google Webmaster Tools at:

https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/

  • Anything in "Top search queries"?
  • Anyone linking to your blog?
  • What are the significant key words for your blog?
  • Click "Diagnostics" and "Crawl Stats" and review "Pages Crawled per Day"

Check out webmaster information for Yahoo! or MSN (whichever one you set up for your blog):

Yahoo!: http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/
MSN/Bing: http://www.bing.com/webmaster

  • What can you learn from these tools?

Be prepared to discuss your findings as a class.
