Hey there and thanks for watching wpbeginner. today i'll show you how to
use google analytics for your wordpress site.
knowing more about your audience gives you a better idea of what they like, how they
interact with your site, where they come from and many more inidicators.
and one of the best ways to find this out is to use the google analytics.
first you want to sign up for a google analytics account. if you have a gmail account, then
sign in with your password.
next create a new account and choose between website and mobile app. i'll choose website.
next i just want to fill in all this information about my website.
then i'll click get tracking id.
now i need to install the tracking id on my site.
the easiest way is to install and activate the insert headers and footer plugin.
once activated, just go to settings-->insert headers and footers and paste the code in
the footers area and click save.
It will take 12-24 hours before you start seeing results from the tracking.
note google analytics can only be used on self hosted wordpress sites. you can't use
it on wordpress.com sites.
