Top 10 Free Website Analytic Tools For Your Blogs

If you already know how to create a blog using Blogger or other platform, then you should also know how to track and analyze some data in your site using a site analytics. To all virtual assistants in the Philippines, and to other bloggers, my tip for you is to use a website analytics right after you created your blog so that you will track more details from the start. You read it right, the moment you published your site, there should be an embedded analytic code running on your site. Remember this, "What Gets Measured Gets Done"  

Now, What is a site or website analytics? 

According to Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia, Web analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of internet data for purposes of understanding and optimizing web usage. Web analytics is not just a tool for measuring website traffic but can be used as a tool for business research and market research. Web analytics provides information about the number of visitors to a website and the number of page views. It helps gauge traffic and popularity trends which is useful for market research.

There are many analytics available in the internet. Some will cost you few dollars per month but there are also available website analytics that are free and very useful. To all my kababayan, mastering a tool like this will increase your skills as a Filipino virtual assistant.
