Beginner Blogger

It’s been a little less than a month now since I started this blog and thought it was about time to do some reflecting and share with you exactly what I have been up to outside of what you can already see in this magnificent blog, in list format

• Set up Google Analytics for stat tracking
  Basically it is a free google service that allows you to track visitor information that comes into your webpages. Not only does it just tell you how many visitors that have visited your site but it also tells you what city visitors are coming from and how long they spend on your site and so much more. It’s such valuable information that you really must have if your goal is to generate more traffic to your website (which is definitely my intention in the near future, not so much at the moment as I’m still generating content).

  So if you haven’t already got a visitor stat tracking program for your blog or website I really recommend google analytics.  It’s seriously amazing and I’ve only just started taking baby steps in the shallow end with this. I will definitely be blogging on more than one occasion about Google Analytics, it’s so in depth. I will release a blog soon about how to get started. For now though just check out how powerful Google Analytics is by clicking here (link will open in a new window).

• Submit www.beginnerblogger.com to Google
  Although I am not after a large amount of traffic yet, I did want to submit my site to google as I am aware that it takes a lot of time for pages to rank well. I’ve read that consistency is one important key to ensuring well placed rankings in google. I feel like I’m getting a post out at a consistent basis so by the time I’m ready to really start promoting this site and wanting to focus on getting a lot traffic I will have ranked well in google so I will hopefully be getting the right amount of traffic at the right time.

  Amazingly I am already ranked no1 if you search ‘beginner blogger’ in google. Which I think is really exciting. I’m not even trying to promote my site at the moment as I said before – I need to generate more content otherwise people will just leave and most likely not bookmark me or visit my site again. I am hoping that if my visitors can see I am posting regularly that they will visit again.Since submitting my site to google and have installed Google Analytics into my blog I have had 6 visitors coming from search engines. This is exciting!

  I will post a blog on how to submit your site to google so you’re searchable in google soon!

• Created a Twitter account
  That’s right, beginner blogger has a twitter account! So please add me to twitter and follow me. I only have 5 followers as it stands at the moment and this is one way I really want to get in touch with my visitors. So please follow me on twitter here. Or you can click on the link in the navigation bar.
• Created an Email account
  I created an email account specifically for this blog. So please drop me a line at blogme@beginnerblogger.com I would love to chat with anyone – from people totally new to blogging to the most experienced. I’d love to know what you think of my blog, any improvements, what you would like to see. This blog is a creation for both my own personal learning experience but I am creating an experience for you too as I am documenting everything as I go along. You will get to see first hand at what is working and what isn’t.
• Created an RSS feed
  You can subscribe to my RSS feed by clicking here or clicking on the RSS link in the navigation bar. This enables you to put all your blogs you enjoy in one main browser or directory if you will so you can easily view all blogs or news items etc that you’re subscribed at once rather than going to each site individually. I love RSS and subscribe to many RSS feeds. Putting them all together in one place is such a more convenient way for me to read all the sites I love in one go without having to go to site to site. So I recommend you do the same and subscribe to my RSS feed.

These are some of the main things I have done with my blog so far. I hope in the next few days I hope to be able to dive further into above so you too can implement the following to your blog.

I just wanted to mention as well that I have loved that I have receieved a comment for every post I have created. I hope this trend continues. As I keep mentioning I really want to connect with my visitors. So keep interacting. Subscribe to my RSS, add me to twitter and send me an email. I would love to hear from you!
