We love blogging for money and it's more exciting than Red Sox, Rockies Game one World Series! But when we set out to make money with our blogs we need tools to track our sites progress. Today I'd like to introduce an excellent free tool (there are subscription options as well) that will allow us to track our visitors in real time!
That's exciting.
The blog tracker is called HitTail.
What HitTails does, is record the keywords that your visitors used to find your site. Let me refer you to a great article over at Tech Crunch with the details.
Signing up for the free service is easy - just head on over to the HitTail registration page and fill out the form.
Once you've successfully completed the registration process, you'll have to copy and paste a piece of JavaScript into your HTML. Don't panic! I'll help you.
Log into your Blogger account and head over to the Layout page. From here you're going to click on the Edit HTML option in the menu.
This page shows you the HTML and JavaScript that makes your blog chug along on the Internet. In order to track our sites statistics, (so we can maximize the amount of money we will make some day soon.) we'll need to paste that piece of JavaScript into our text window.
Scroll all the way to the bottom of your HTML screen and look for the "body" tag.
Now simply paste the code you got from HitTail and place it on the line directly above that tag and save your template changes.
