Embarking on a legal blogging strategy and blog is a difficult task. However, once you have a content strategy and regular blog posting in place, you need to be consistent and make sure that your social media campaigns and blog posts are going out on a regular basis. Once this is in place, it's time to start tracking the views and visits to your website, and seeing which one of your blog posts is connecting with potential clients and customers, as well as your current readership. There are a few ways this can be done, and all are simple and compelling steps you can take to make sure that your blog is engaging in the way that you would like to. With that in mind, here are some tips and tricks you can use to track the analytics on your blog and make sure that your blog is on track and adding tangible value to your overall content strategy.
Use Free Tracking Applications Like Google Analytics
Adding Google Analytics to your website and as an overall part of your content strategy is a simple process, and can easily be done by your webmaster or website administrator. If you are feeling bold, you can also try to add the source code yourself. After you or your web design team are able to add it to the source code of your website, you will be able to regularly check who is coming to your website through google rankings and SEO results. This will allow you to know only how many people are checking your blog and social media, and will also give you great statistics such as what country they are coming from or when and how they were referred to your content.
One of the things that will be most helpful is being able to see which individual piece of content is getting the most views, which will help you track your overall blogging results. To do this, go into your Google Analytics account and go to by clicking Behavior > Site Content > All Pages. Here you will be able to see which pages on your site are getting the most views. Knowing which pieces of your content is getting the most traffic will allow you to amend your content strategy to include more of these types of post and play into what your audience wants to read.
Consider Hiring an Outside Tracking Software Company
If using Google Analytics seems like a daunting task, you may want to hire an outside tracking software company. A company that provides this service will be able to give you more detailed metrics on your content strategy and also suggest amendments to your content strategy going forward. Using big data, a tracking software company will be able to give you certain metrics and figure out the demographics of who is reading your blog. This will allow you to write custom posts that appeals to those demographics, and convert those readers into customers and clients. Doing this will bring a very tangible benefit to your blogging and content strategy and will help you bring this to the next level.
Remember that analytics is only a part of your blogging results. Being consistent and straightforward in when and how you release your content on your blog is more important than how any individual post does. If you keep this in mind and keep blogging, you will eventually attract the audience that you desire and create a comprehensive blogging strategy.
