blog – Lauren Gemmell

For ages I have been looking for a visual tool to help me understand what features people use on my blog. The Categories, Recent Posts and Popular Posts features all take up space, but do readers use them?

I wanted something easy to use and understand and In-Page Analytics – which is part of Google Analytics is that very tool. It’s almost hidden in the Google Analytics tools list, at the very bottom of the Content section – but I have gotten more out of 30 minutes with In-Page Analytics than months of using other tools.

I have for some time been thinking about how to give something back to the community I get so much from.

Sure I give the odd bit of twitter advice, but how do I give back to the community?

Well I could give away a free recipe book… but more on that later!

Why do you use social media?

If your answer is anything other than to be “sociable” you may be doing it wrong. Trying to sell products or increase traffic to your blog are not the only reasons to be on Twitter or Facebook.
