Schedule Statistics Reports By Email

If you have a free Google Analytics account linked to your website you can navigate to any section of your statistics,  then schedule a report to be emailed to you/someone else every week/month/day.

The sort of reports you might benefit from seeing regularly are:

• Weekly Summary (the first page you see when you click on View Reports)
• Most popular posts by title (look under Content tab, then Content by title)
• Posts by a certain author
• New subscribers to your newsletter (first setup a goal with your subscribe page url, click on Goals)
