I caved!
I finally installed Google Reader. OMG...what was I thinking when I didn't have it?!?! It is THE BEST things ever. I knew that everyone thought "it was all that" but I didn't really believe it. I also was just too lazy to enter all of my blogs in. BOY, did that time pay off! This seriously cuts my blog reading in half. However, now I am checking my Google Reader so often, it probably increased the amount of time that I am stalking blogs. Oh well...
Since I had such success with GR, I decided to install Google Analytics. Now, I am not too sure about this. Kristal and Julia, how did you get all of those cool graphs to show up? I don't really know what to click on to see interested stats. And I don't really know what all of the techie words mean. Any help would be appreciated! THANKS!!!
FINALLY! GLad you came to the dark side.
With GA you need to play around a little bit more.
If you want to see what states/countries your visits come from, you'll need to go to the map overview. And then click on US to see the states.
On the left hand column there is a list of things [visits, visitors, referral sources, etc]. Click on a few of those to see graphs and let me know if you need anymore help.
It's confusing at first but you'll get it!
Google Reader is awesome! Now, I don't really 'blog stalk' since I know instantly when blogs are updated. Again, Google taking over the world :)
