How to add Google Analytics to your WordPress site with Google Analyticator
Google Analytics is a powerful, powerful tool
I love it because:
- It allows you to see where the visitors to your website are coming from
- It shows you which visitors are coming back
- It gives you the information and insights you need to improve your website
There are three things, however, that annoy me about it. They are:
- It’s hard to add the Google Analytics tracking code to your WordPress site.
- It is tricky to stop Google Analytics from recording your own visits to your own blog.
- Sometimes you just want a quick view of how your blog is doing rather than going through the entire analytics site.
But no longer am I annoyed. I’ve found a plugin – Google Analyticator – which solves all of these problems.
