I have never generated an annual blog traffic report until this morning. Thanks, Google Analytics, for helping me with one of my New Year’s resolutions: Increase Blog Traffic in 2013! I was actually pretty excited to see the numbers for 2012 and would like to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you – almost 200,000 of you!! – who visited my blog in 2012. I love being part of your day!
Cheers to 2013!

Wow…I need like Google Analytics for dummies. I’m putting making a report on my to do list for the end of this week. I think I’ve done more blogging and commenting in the past week than I have in whole months in 2012, So maybe at the end of this year, I’ll actually have some numbers for G.A. to crunch, WOOHOO! :O)
Nicole says
GA for Dummies is a good idea! I think there is a lot of great and helpful info on the reports it generates, but beyond the easy graphs it pops up with I start getting confused at what I’m looking at. LOL Thank you for stopping by and commenting on my blog. One of my goals is to comment on other blogs more often in 2013. I used to take more time to do that, and I miss connecting with other bloggers. Think I’ll head over to Back Porch Reservations right now! 🙂
Nicole says
oops I mean Back Porchervations!! Sorry about that!
Jennifer says
Don’t you hate that not provided? I don’t get it. A huge portion of mine comes from that, too. Yay! Here’s to an awesome 2013!!!
Stacie says
Great job!! I’m excited to see my site made the list!
Nicole says
Thank you, Stacie!!! I left a comment on your blog, but will say it again here – I really appreciate all the things I learn from you. Thank you for being such an amazing blogger! 🙂
