Google
recently made
the local business center a whole lot cooler and added a
whole lot more functionality.
All they did was put in some analytics and suddenly I realized how
powerful local
business center is. I took out my own stats because I know competitors
are
reading my blog but on a day to day basis I can see that literally
hundreds of people
are given an impression and a link to my site. That’s good
news for me. I think
a lot of people fail to see how important analytics can be for their
websites. Some
people dismiss this as someone who is just too focused on stats and how
many
people come to their site but really analytics is a lot more than sheer
numbers. This was the first time I got to see how mine were doing and I
can see
that I have far more impressions than actual clicks. There could be a
variety
of reasons for that but of course you have to consider that this is
almost
always horribly skewed. But taking a look at how
someone found my result can hopefully lead to why
they clicked on the result. Being
able to control why is the key.
To see what
it looks
like log in to your Google account and go to local business center.
Then take
a look below where to view the report.
You can see
some of
my stats below and a few examples of what keywords they used
to see the
impression of my site.
This feature

info out!)

(In case
you do not agree with something I said or feel that my blog or my
beliefs could be construed as libelous I hereby declare that my entire
blog is meant as a joke. I consider myself to be a comedian and
everything I say or have said should be considered comedy. I want
nothing I say to be taken seriously and if you do take it seriously
take a break. If you do not think what I said is funny then that is
your opinion. But for anyone who wants to sue me everything I said or
say is meant purely as satire.The only thing that is not a joke is this
disclaimer.)





Thanks for the insight. I can see the first thing I need to do is get an entry on the Google Business Center.
I have a personal lisiting with my pix which shows up nicely on the bottom of Google page one when my name is entered in Google search.
But I need to do the Business Center thing.
