Comments on: Working Naked Doesn’t Mean You Can’t Circulate

Annie, will the Association relent if you just paint over your nakedness with the accepted exterior color?

I love the “Depth of Visit” concept—you really need to alert Google that that feature needs to be built into the software. Of course, then you’d need Sense of Estrangement, Puzzled Disquiet, Suppressed Mirth and so many others…

Down here in Orange County, CA, our (very tense) home owners’ association expressly forbids naked working, unapproved exterior paint colors, and the parking of Airstream trailers anywhere on the property.

Seems a shame that you have the freedom (and foggy cover) to wear — or not wear — whatever you want, but you don’t use it.

Also, it’s probably a bad sign when you (and by that I mean me) click on the “Depth of Visit” stats in Google Analytics, kind of hoping to glean the spiritual-emotional momentousness of your blog readers’ experience.

Then discover that it’s merely the distribution of page views per visit.

Jodi, I’m (well, my web guy is) using the straight install of the Google code on the site, not the plug-in. Does the plug-in give you deeper/better/easier tools? I’ll check it out on the WordPress site.

If you’re using the WordPress Google Analytics plugin for your blog (from Yoast), be sure to configure it after the latest update. I didn’t realize that there was an extra step – and lost two days of traffic tracking!

Lisa, I haven’t gotten into using all of the filters to parse the analytics info, but in trying some, it’s interesting how you can break down traffic and referral stats to granular levels. But then you (and by that I mean me) can start to get too anal-ytic, if you know what I mean…

Thanks for the tips, Tom! I’m glad my readers are heading your way. I don’t obsess about traffic numbers either but I agree that Google Analytics is VERY helpful.

Keep up the good work!
