#shishimee2

The theme this past week has been SEO, PR & GA, by now you know what terms they stand for….if you don’t…. then scroll back to Monday. On our final day, we see how Facebook relates to these topics…and oh how it definitely does. For example: 

When on Facebook, you do realize that your every move, decision and taste is being recorded and documented….right? It’s actually unavoidable. Remember Graph Search topic I posted just last Friday? Go look at your Youtube page- see how certain videos are recommended to you because you viewed another video in the past or something like that?

Solution? Fine tuning your Privacy….your social media privacy is something that should be reviewed and updated on a regular basis. Hey…if you are an individual who enjoys telling all your 1200 friends every minute by minute detail of your daily life, even YOU should review your privacy. You already know this….but sometimes we take the basics for granted.

So…we’ve all heard of Google and its goal to take over the world…if Zuckerberg doesn’t beat them to it…

In that case, I‘m sure you’ve also heard of Google Analytics (GA) and had no idea of what the HECK it is…right?

Well today on #WhateverWednesdays….join me as we delve into it a bit further?(eerie voice)

Let’s start by watching this “humorous” video…

  Did you get it? No? not yet…Ok…here’s another one:

  Now you’re getting it? Huh…huh…?

  Simply, Google Analytics (GA) will help your potential customer find your service site online with less…..much less… drama but only if….IF you set your account up properly.

One more video, on how to understand Google Analytics (GA) a little better,

  Ok….let’s leave it at that for now. My goal today, was just to provide a BASIC understanding of GA’s purpose and how it works.

Hope this helped….to start.

Of course, we will discuss GA further in the future where it applies.

Remember, our goal here @shishimee2 is to bring you a coordinated view of a week full of tidbits about Social Media, Technology and the Whatevers of life at 1 post a day @shishimee2 on Tumblr & Twitter.

Be Well & Blessed

Today is #BlogMonday and this is the week we begin to discuss these key terms such as :

SEO…Ranking….Google Analytics.

Let’s first define these topics and throughout this week’s Theme days, I will attempt to correlate these same topics to help you to better understand how these terms can aid you in not only attracting an audience based on the your content and your character, but on good old fashion social media laws of attraction.

Some would argue that before you can attract an audience of readers, you must first define their needs. I agree but only if you don’t have the latter. No worries. In my opinion, getting comfortable first with these terms and how they apply to you is more important we will discuss needs in the near future after you’ve mastered how the big pieces fit in the social media big picture so that you can identify the little details within the picture, after.

SEO: Search Engine Optimization. I enjoyed the varied perspectives: http://www.shoemoney.com/2008/05/14/what-is-the-definition-of-seo

Ranking: A position in a scale of achievement or status; a classification. ( See tomorrow’s Twitter Grader)

Google Analytics: you can track visitors from all referrers, including search engines and social networks, direct visits and referring sites. It also displays advertising, pay-per-click networks, e-mail marketing and digital collateral such as links within PDF documents. See Wiki or http://www.google.com/analytics/?utm_source=gaha&utm_medium=ha-search&utm_term=%2Bgoogle%20%2Banalytics&utm_campaign=us-en-ha-ga-bkws&gclid=CKK7nYWmrrUCFYje4AodFEAA-A
