Let’s join a conversation between a geek and a gal discussing how to track a blog’s progress using key metrics.
Hey, hey! So you want to track your blog's progress, huh?
Yeah! But I'm not sure where to start...
No worries! We'll start with some
key metrics
to monitor. They'll help you understand how your blog is doing!
First up is
pageviews
. It's the number of times people look at your blog pages. The more pageviews, the better!
Got it! So I should aim for lots of pageviews.
Next is
unique visitors
. It tells you how many different people visit your blog. It's important to grow your audience!
Ah, so it's like having many friends who come to visit!
Ever visited a website and left right away? That's a
bounce
. The
bounce rate
shows the percentage of visitors who do that.
Oh! So we want a low bounce rate, right?
Exactly! It means people are sticking around and exploring your content.
- Average Session Duration.
Average session duration
is the time visitors spend on your blog. Longer sessions mean they're enjoying your content!
So I should make sure they have a good time and stay longer!
Lastly,
pages per session
show how many pages visitors view during their visit. More pages mean they're engaged with your content!
I'll make sure to create interesting content that makes them want to read more!
Now you know the key metrics to monitor your blog’s progress. Keep an eye on these, and you’ll be on your way to success! 😃
