So where's my traffic coming from?   This is a very important question for me to get my hands around.

I just earned my first commission, so it's time to get an idea of what's going on on my site: CreditMighty.com. There's an easy solution to this that we've built right into siteMighty.  Easy integration of Google Analytics.

Google Analytics is a free web analytics tool.  It helps you figure out where your traffic is coming from, understand what visitors are doing on your site, and optimize your site based on the goals you have.  It's an incredibly powerful too, that was developed by a company called Urchin.  We used to use this software when it cost $299 a month.  Google bought this company a couple years ago, and immediately release the software for free.  If you haven't tried it yet, now's your chance. So let's get started:

1. Start by heading over to Google Analytics. Follow the instructions there to open up an account.
   
2. I then click [add a new website profile], in enter in the website I want to track, in this case www.creditmighty.com.
3. On the next page I'm presented with a block of code that I need to add to every page of my website.  The good news is that we've made it easy to do this through siteMighty.com. Copy the block of code from Google Analytics. In siteMighty, click  [Analyze], then [analytics setup]. Click the [+] in the blue bar that reads edit analytics. This opens up a field, where I can paste the Google Analytics code that I've copied.  Once I've done that, I click the [Save] button in the lower right.
4.  That's it my Google Analytics tracking code has now been placed across my entire site.  In about six hours I'll be a little login to Google Analytics and start seeing some stats for the traffic on my site.

That was easy, and now have a good idea where my traffic is coming from.  Onward and upward from here. Stay tuned for more come.
