Attendees can plan to take away both useful and interesting tips from the session, as Google Analytics can provide bloggers with ways to make sure the site is performing well, how people are coming to the site, and be more than another WordPress Plugin! Plus, this session will also go over the more fun bits like how to find topics for future posts to squirrel away for a later day and ways to pull top performing posts for that all essential wrap-up post.
