Add Google Analytics to Blogger blog

Google Analytics: The Google Analytics tool is one of the most useful tools that can be used for tracking the statistics of your Blogger blog or any website. With this tool, you can get complete statistical information about your blog/website. Google Analytics is a free tool from Google.

Google provides the Analytics tool for Blogger, and all bloggers can use it to track their website/blog traffic. After adding the Analytics tool to your blog, you can get reports on blog visitors, page views, bounce rate, and many more. This tool provides all the information regarding your blog statistics, i.e., it gives a full statistical report about the traffic and visitors coming to your blog.

So, it is better to install/add Google Analytics to your Blogger blog to know your Blogger statistics. In this post, I'm explaining how to add Google Analytics to your Blogger blog. Later, I will explain how to use Google Analytics to track your blog statistics.

How to add Google Analytics to your Blogger blog quickly

Yes, adding a Google Analytics tool to your Blogger blog is a straightforward process. The basic steps involved are creating a Google Analytics account and submitting your Blogger blog URL to Google Analytics. Once you have added your Blogger blog to Google Analytics, it will provide you with various methods to verify your blog.

You can choose any of the methods provided by Google Analytics to verify your Blogger blog. Here, I'll explain one of the best and easiest methods to verify your Blogger blog with Google Analytics.

Follow below steps to add Google Analytics to your Blogger blog:

Step 1 : Sign in to Google Analytics and click on Sign up

Step 2 : Fill out all fields below Setting up your web property

I.e : Enter Website Name, Website URL , Industry Category, Reporting time zone and rest of all the required information.

Step 3 : Click on Get Tracking ID, and copy Tracking ID

Step 4 : Go to Blogger Dashboard, Click on setting

Step 5 : Click on Other and enter tracking id in the Analytics Web Property ID box just below Google Analytics and finally Save Settings

That's it! You have successfully added Google Analytics to your Blogger blog. You have to wait for some time to get verified by Google Analytics. Wait for 24 hours and log in to your Google Analytics account to see all statistics about your blog. With this, you can add Google Analytics to any Blogger blog.

Another procedure is also available to verify your Blogger blog, but the above method is the easiest. This method only works for Blogger blogs because Blogger provides the Analytics Web Property ID option. So, you can easily add Google Analytics to your Blogger by submitting the Tracking ID through the Analytics Web Property ID option on Blogger.

However, if you are using other blogging platforms or templates, you have to add the tracking code to your blog template to install Google Analytics. You can also use the above method for your Blogger blog. If you want another method, I'm showing another way to add Google Analytics to your Blogger blog below.

Another method to add Google Analytics to your Blogger blog :

Step 1 : Log in to Blogger Dashboard

Step 2 : Click on Template and click on Edit HTML

Step 3 : Search for </body>

Step 4 : Add Google Analytics tracking code just above </body>

Step 5 : Click on Save Template

This is also an easy method, but if you keep on adding third-party script code to your Blogger template, it will affect your blog loading speed. That's why I prefer the first method (adding Tracking ID to your Blogger blog).

Google Webmaster Tools is also available to provide blog statistics information about traffic and visitors like Google Analytics. The main difference between Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools is that Google Analytics will give a full report about your blog statistics, and Google Webmaster Tools will give more information about your blog indexing and ranking on the Google search engine.
