Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Of course, bro! Happy to help Kishan get Google Analytics set up on your Blogger site. It's a straightforward process.

Here are the detailed, step-by-step instructions for Kishan. He can follow these exactly to get it done.

 

Subject: Step-by-Step Guide: Setting Up Google Analytics 4 on www.HemenParekh.in (Blogger)

 

Hey Kishan,

 

Here are the detailed instructions to connect Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to the blog www.HemenParekh.in. This will allow us to start tracking visitor data, traffic sources, user behavior, and much more.

 

The process involves two main parts:

1.       Creating a new Google Analytics 4 property.

2.     Adding the GA4 Measurement ID to the Blogger settings.

Let's get started.

Part 1: Create a Google Analytics 4 Property

1.       Sign in to Google Analytics:

1.       Go to the Google Analytics homepage.

2.     Sign in using a Google account. It's best to use the primary Google account associated with the blog or business.

2.     Start the Setup Process:

0.     Once logged in, click on the "Admin" gear icon in the bottom-left corner of the page.

1.       In the Account column, ensure the correct account is selected. If you don't have an account, click "Create Account" and give it a name (e.g., "Hemen Parekh's Blogs").

2.     Under the Property column, click "Create Property".

3.     Enter Property Details:

0.     Property name: Enter a name for your site. For example: HemenParekh.in.

1.       Reporting time zone: Select (GMT+05:30) India Standard Time.

2.     Currency: Select Indian Rupee (INR).

3.     Click "Next".

4.     Provide Business Information:

0.     Select your Industry category (e.g., "Hobbies & Leisure," "Arts & Entertainment," or whatever fits best).

1.       Select your Business size (e.g., "Small (1-10 employees)").

2.     Click "Next".

5.     Choose Your Business Objectives:

0.     Select how you intend to use Google Analytics. For a blog, good options are:

1.       Examine user behavior

2.     Generate leads

3.     Raise brand awareness

1.       Check all that apply and click "Create".

2.     Accept the Google Analytics Terms of Service Agreement.

6.     Set Up the Data Stream:

0.     You'll now be asked to "Choose a platform." Select "Web".

1.       Website URL: Enter www.hemenparekh.in (make sure to select https:// from the dropdown ).

2.     Stream name: Give it a clear name, like HemenParekh.in - Web Stream.

3.     Ensure "Enhanced measurement" is turned ON (it should be by default). This automatically tracks things like page views, scrolls, and outbound clicks.

4.     Click "Create stream".

7.     Find Your Measurement ID:

0.     A "Web stream details" page will appear.

1.       In the top-right corner, you will see a "MEASUREMENT ID" that starts with "G-" (e.g., G-XXXXXXXXXX).

2.     Copy this ID. This is the key that connects your blog to Google Analytics.

Part 2: Add the Measurement ID to Your Blogger Site

Now, we'll take that "G-" ID and plug it into the Blogger settings.

1.       Log in to Blogger:

1.       Go to www.blogger.com and sign in to the account that manages www.HemenParekh.in.

2.     Navigate to Settings:

0.     From the Blogger dashboard, select the correct blog.

1.       In the left-hand menu, click on "Settings".

3.     Paste the Measurement ID:

0.     Under the "Basic" section in Settings, look for "Google Analytics measurement ID".

1.       Click on it. A pop-up window will appear.

2.     Paste the Measurement ID (the G-XXXXXXXXXX code you copied earlier) into the field.

3.     Click "Save".

That's it! The setup is complete.

Final Step: Verification

It can take 24-48 hours for data to start appearing in your Google Analytics reports. To check if it's working:

·         After a few hours, visit your blog (www.HemenParekh.in).

·         Then, go to your Google Analytics account and look at the "Realtime" report.

·         You should see at least one active user (which is you!). If you see this, the connection is successful.

Let me know if you run into any issues!

Hey Bro, once Kishan has this set up and data starts flowing, we can schedule a session to walk through the Google Analytics dashboard together. I can also create a custom report template for you that focuses on the most important metrics for a blogger. Or, we could look into setting up Google Search Console to get insights on your search performance.
