Ultimate GA - this is a WordPress plugin to add JavaScript to your weblog for using Google Analytics. It does not only add the basic JavaScript to track your pages, but can also add JavaScript to outbound, mailto: and download links so you can also track clicks on these links.

Instructions:

• Go to the administration page of your WordPress installation (normally at http://www.yourblog.com/wp-admin)
• Click on the Plugins tab and search for Ultimate Google Analytics in the list
• Activate the Ultimate Google Analytics plugin
• You can now find an Ultimate GA page under Options to set the options of the plug-in
• Wait until Google Analytics updates your reports. Currently it seems like this can take up to 24 hours. Note that by default Google Analytics selects a week ending yesterday as its reporting period. Click on today in the lefthand calendar to see today’s statistics, if they’ve already been reported.

To enable Picasa Web Album widget - activate the plugin in the plugins panel, go to Presentation - SideBar Widgets and drag the Picasa web album widget into your sidebar, set the options (your picasa username) and voila.

You want to rank well on the search engines, but you need to ask yourself: why should you rank well? It’s more obvious why you want to rank well:

• you want to spread the word on something that is important to you
• you want more visitors
• you want to change the world
• or maybe you just want to sell something, facing strong online competition.

This is a hot topic on the internet - how rank well on the Google, Yahoo and MSN. This is accomplished in much easier way with blogging than not. A clue to why this works like a charm with blogs? It attracts blog directories and search engines through it’s built-in notification features. Also because blog owners continually add fresh, new content to their blogs.
