Blog project

After spring break stuff that should be on your blog:

- 6 posts on your blog topic

- 2 posts on 2 articles (include hyperlinks to the articles) on your team topic

- 1 post where you talk about something your read on one of the required blogs (include hyperlink to the material from the required blog)

- one post using the word VQUZESHUF

- one post using the word VQUZESHUF hyperlinked to www.youtube.com

- one post where you include a hyperlink to a comment you made on a random blog in which you included the word VQUZESHUF

- a banner ad you created for one of your teammates blogs

In addition, you should have commented twice on each of your teammates blogs.

VQUZESHUF

This is the word you have to include in each of the blog posts from now until the end of the semester. Please post at least once a week - otherwise your blog project grade will suffer!!!
For Thursday, you have to hyperlink the word to YouTube, like this vquzeshuf.

Google Analytics Homework

MK299 Google Analytics Homework

STEP 1

First, you should open a Google Analytics account. Put in your blog’s URL so that Google Analytics can track your blog’s visitors.

If you get Google Analytics Code it goes into your blog’s HTML code block just like the AdSense Code. Once you access your blog's html code (go to the blog’s dashboard, click on "Template", then "Edit html" option), scroll down the code to the last two lines of code. I believe they are:
< / body >
< / html >
You should paste the Google Analytics code ABOVE the last 2 lines of existing html code. Then, hit save and the code should work.

STEP 2

Second, now you should THOROUGHLY examine the type of information Google Analytics provides. There should be a main SITE USAGE section and 4 additional sections with further information:

1. Visitors Overview
2. Map Overlay
3. Traffic Sources Overview
4. Content Overview.

Familiarize yourself with the type of information provided under each section. Then, write about how the type of info under each section might be useful to a blogger and to a small business (local restaurant). You don't necessarily need to use numbers!!!! - just tell me how each TYPE of information WOULD BE used by either a blogger or a local restaurant owner.

You should write ABOUT HALF A PAGE for EACH SECTION. So, the length of your paper is up to three pages.

Revised MK299 Schedule

Hope you had a great Holiday weekend!

To keep us organized, I have posted a revised (again) syllabus in Blackboard.
I also posted the SHU Chapel website team assignment so each team has a reminder of what they had to work on.

Remember, the midterm is scheduled for Monday, March 31st!

For the midterm, lecture summaries and lecture review questions are already posted for each lecture in Blackboard. Of course, items covered in class at each lecture are included for the exam.

The exam will be mostly multiple choice, however, it will also include a few (about 5) short answer questions.

You should cover the following lectures:

1. History of the Internet
2. How the Web Works
3. Internet Users
4. Marketing Research Online
5. Data

I guess I will only see you after Easter Break

As you probably heard, I am not feeling very well - just after I posted a revised syllabus.
Well, I will revise it again and post it again in Blackboard. I will see you after the break.
