I am a fan of Google Analytics

One thing I love to have on my blogs and on any site where I write multiple articles is Google Analytics. You learn a lot from the reports that are generated.
It is not always easy to see where the pennies you are earning from Adsense are coming from. With Analytics not only can you see which articles are popular but also how the readers got to your article.
It helps you to know if your SEO is good and if promoting is working. I have it on all my blogs and on Writedge.
Have you used Google Analytics and do you find it useful?

It does take a little learning but I found a website that explained how to put it on Blogger and it made it very simple. I am not a big techie.

@BelleStarr I may give it a try soon. I have to make sure I have some quiet time and that's hard to do right now with Daisy under foot.

I never even heard of it until I read your post here. Glad you use it but for me it would be just another 'thing' to keep me on the Internet longer and I spend too much time as it is! :O)

lol Yes if you don't write on the kind of sites to benefit from this information, it would just waste your online time.

It isn't necessary unless you write on other sites or have a blog but for those it is very helpful.

It really depends on the type of writing you do. For a site like MyLot it is not necessary.

I have it on one of my blogs - but very rarely look at it. My blogs are more of a personal reference for myself, and to stay in touch with people who want to know certain things. So I am not really interested in pushing the seo thingy

I completely understand. I am trying to develop an audience so it is useful to me.
