@Crystal,

Or flood it. You and Jaina’s mom are both interested in some more Google Analytics posts. It could be a while since I only do blogging basics once a week, but I am going to break it down into several segments and try to make everyone understand it. I am also going to start doing some SEO posts for Blogging Basics AND I will have a guest poster week after next that tells us all about adding the follow me buttons to the side-bar.

I am so excited about the interest in my Blogging Basics series and am having a blast researching and writing about them.

@Kelli,
Oh, oh, I thought of something else!

Understanding and making sense of Google Analytics results. What does all the data really mean?What is landing page, exit page results, bounce rates???

I just started using this tool and it is giving me info I have no idea what to do with.

Of course I could spend hours researching it all, as my children burn the house down, but it is hard enough to hammer out new content every day….

@Jaina’s Mom,

Hmm, I guess I don’t know what they are either. I leave on Saturday for Disney World (YAY!)but I have made myself a note to find out for the both of us (and my other readers LOL!).

I guess what I mean is, it asked me if I wanted to add search and other features that I just do not know what they are. So I thought since you were looking for topics this might be a good one. .-= Jaina's Mom´s last blog ..Valentine Printables at Sprout Online =-.

@Jaina’s Mom,

Jaina’s Mom,

I don’t know what you mean by benefits. Google Analytics feels the best to me. Other people use different things, but I find Google (in general) to be very user friendly.

I track my traffic so I can tell PR companies and corporations my reach.

I would like to know the best way to keep track of your traffic, I recently installed google analytics how do you use it for maximum benefits, or is there a benefit to it? Is there something else out there? .-= Jaina's Mom´s last blog ..Valentine Printables at Sprout Online =-.

@Randa @ The Bewitchin’ Kitchen,
This is a great question. I will work on writing something up for this. I don’t actually contact companies anymore. I did, in the past, but unless I am working on a blogging event, I just let them come to me.

I would like to know how many companies you contact a week for requesting PR's and giveaways and how do you ask them? .-= Randa @ The Bewitchin' Kitchen´s last blog ..Coconut Cream Cheese Brownies =-.

To follow Stacie’s question, how do we add (on Blogger) the buttons, like you and many others have on your right sidebar, to follow you on twitter, facebook and feed, using their icons.

I would love to see more Blogger vs WordPress comparing- pros and cons, esp.

I would also love more SEO info- from basic, to the most techinical level that you understand it at.

Kelli, you are aswesome to selflessly share all of this! Not everyone out there is so forthcoming!
