Day 31: Analyze Your Blog’s Progress!

So yes, we’ve come to the end of the challenge (sad face.) Now is the time to really analyze your results from your hard work to improve your blog this month. Let’s take a  look at your posts, comments, subscribers and of course, go back to good ‘ol Google Analytics and see what’s what. Use August 1-31 as the time period for all of the metrics below:

  1. Number of posts you’re written
  2. Number of blog comments you’ve received
  3. Number of blog subscribers, if applicable
  4. Number of visits
  5. Number of pageviews
  6. Bounce rate (shows the percentage of people who leave your site almost immediately)
  7. Average time on site
  8. Traffic sources (shows which sites are sending you the most traffic)
  9. Keywords (found in the traffic sources section – shows which terms are people using to get to your blog)
  10. Basic audience stats from Quantcast (if applicable)
  11. Most popular posts (found in the content overview section)

Your assignment is to take a look at each of these metrics and blog about your results or post a comment about what you learned from looking at them. How do they compare to your blog’s metrics from the same time period during July 1-31? If you blog about today’s challenge, please post the link in the comments section!

Note: Please tag your posts with “31bnb” to make them easier to share with us.

    Assignments are indispensable parts of any discipline that a student may choose to study and one can never run away from it. Although planned to develop a student's knowledge in a field, they can occasionally end you up in a wall where “help!” is the first word that anyone utters. Whatever the nature of assignment may be, be it backbreaking or without adequate time to complete or can't fit in your heavy schedule, we are always here for assistance. Homework is no longer wearisome, with us guiding you through every step of your solutions.
