10 Amazing Blogging Insights Your Analytics Can Tell You




 If you're regularly creating content to fuel your inbound marketing strategy, you're probably using a blog to publish the bulk of it. That's fantastic, since we know businesses that blog more than 20 times per month generate 5 times more traffic than businesses that blog fewer than 4 times per month (they also generate 4 times more leads than businesses that don't blog at all!).
With all that content, traffic, and leads you're generating, are you aware that you're sitting on a gold mine of valuable data? Did you also know that you can leverage all that data to glean valuable insights and improve the performance of your blog content? You just have to know how to use it! Let's break it down by the individual blog metrics you should be tracking so you can start making incremental improvements to your blog and generating even more traffic and leads using data that's right under your nose.


Are you posting regularly to your blog? What is your tracking telling you.

Have you tried Pinterest

Have you tried Pinterest.com? I just read more information today on how companies are using www.pinterest.com for branding, organizing, blogging and so much more. This article http://www.blogworld.com/2012/01/21/35-brilliant-bloggers-talk-about-pinterest/comment-page-1/#comment-35138 led me to this post. I visited a number of the links in branding and agreed with much of what the authors are saying. Take a look and tell me what you think. If you have used Pinterest, how and why.

Blog Site Addresses

Please link to your blog site, add your name, and a brief description of your blog so that everyone can go to each others' blogs. Everyone in class should reply to this post.
