Understanding Google Analytics

Now, we are in the third section of the course.

In section 1, we covered the basics of digital marketing - what it is, why to learn, and what is the best way to learn.

In section 2, we learned how to create a website, how to install WordPress from cPanel and hot to set up your first WordPress blog.

If you have followed the lessons and taken appropriate actions, you should be having your blog up and running.

From here onwards, you are going to learn the different components of digital marketing.

We'll start with Google Analytics.

In this lesson, you'll learn all about Google Analytics.

Why Analytics first?

Why not SEO or Adwords or Facebook?

Because after this lesson you'll be learning about the traffic generation and optimization techniques.

But to know whether your techniques and tactics are working or not, you need data.

Data, that could tell you about what's working and what's not.

Google Analytics is the platform that'll help you to understand that.

You'll know about

- Who are your visitors?
- Where do they come from?
- What do they consume?
- What actions do they take?

And more...

Remember, analytics is a key skill to master as the world is moving towards data-driven marketing and conscious budgeting.

This lesson is geared to give you the basic understanding of Analytics and help you to learn about your audiences.

New Schema.org support for retailer shipping data

Quick summary : Starting today, we support shippingDetails schema.org markup as an alternative way for retailers to be eligible for shipping details in Google Search results. Since June 2020, retailers have been able to list their products across different Google surfaces for free, including on Google Search . We are committed to supporting ways for the ecosystem to better connect with users that come to Google to look for the best products, brands, and retailers by investing both in more robust tooling in Google Merchant Center as well as with new kinds of schema.org options. Shipping details, including cost and expected delivery times, are often a key consideration for users making purchase decisions. In our own studies, we’ve heard that users abandon shopping checkouts because of unforeseen or uncertain shipping costs. This is why we will often show shipping cost information in certain result types, including on free listings on Google Sea...

The Search Console Training lives on

In November 2019 we announced the Search Console Training YouTube series and started publishing videos regularly. The goal of the series was to create updated video content to be used alongside Search documentation, for example in the Help Center and in the Developers site . The wonderful Google Developer Studio team (the engine behind those videos!) put together this fun blooper reel for the first wave of videos that we recorded in the Google London studio. So far we’ve published twelve episodes in the series, each focusing on a different part of the tool. We’ve seen it’s helping lots of people to learn how to use Search Console - so we decided to continue recording videos… at home! Please bear with the trucks, ambulances, neighbors, passing clouds, and of course the doorbell. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In addition to the location change, we’re also changing the scope of the new videos. Instead of focusing on one report at a time, we’ll discuss how ...

I have been playing Red Alert 3 for a very long time and its a war game. I realized, I have learned a lot of business lessons by playing Red Alert. And here are the top 3. 1. Don't Attack Too Soon In Red Alert, we have limited time and resources. I have to build an army with those resources and then attack my enemy. If I did not build a large enough army, I will lose the battle and also my troops. Once I lose my troops, I have to rebuild it from scratch. If I build a large enough troop after looking at my enemy, and attack with everything I have, I have a chance of winning. In business, it is similar. If you build a product and if it is not as good as your competitors, you will fail. Once you take it to the market and fail, there is no coming back. So have some patience and build a good product. Whe...
