Does Google Analytics track all subpages or only the homepage?

Q. Google Analytics is really confusing me. Does it track all my pages for "page views" or does it only track my homepage? I think I know how to add more pages, but I don't know if I need to if it's already tracking them. Some help would be great!

A. Google tracks Everything they can, and they do so with the help and support of the US Government thru a partnership with the NSA....Facebook does too, and so does Yahoo.

It is what it is...and it aint Kansas Dorothy.

How to encourage traffic to a new forum website?
Q. Hi,

I have just made a forum website and registered it to google, yahoo and bing. I have also signed up for google free tools like adwords, webmaster and google analytics. I just want to know how I can get traffic to my website cause at the minute there is non.

All advice will be appreciated, thanks
Is it possible to be done free?

A. First thing you need to do is to populate your forum with posts. Make them as authentic as possible and relevant to your topic. No one wants to go to a ghost-town like forum. They need to see activity before they jump in

Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:

1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.

2. Use social media. Twitter, Facebook, Stumbleupon, LinkedIn, Reddit, Digg and others can be a big source of traffic for your business. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools.

3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.

4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.

6. Improve your conversion. Getting visitors is one thing; getting them to buy your products is a whole different story. Read the article " How To Sell More on the Web: 30 Tips To Increase Conversion Rates For An Ecommerce Site " http://www.powerhomebiz.com/092006/ecommerce.htm for tips on how to improve your conversion rates.

7. Post a link to your site for free where it is allowed (always read the Terms of Use). Examples are:

Craigslist http://www.craigslist.com
Google Base http://base.google.com

Is it possible to add google analytics to my twitter page?
Q. I've been using Google Analytics on Tumblr for over two years and love it. Is it possible to add it to my Twitter page? I have read some stuff about being able to add it to a Facebook fan page but so far no luck with Twitter. I would assume it's because there's no HTML editing on Twitter like there is with Tumblr. If you can give me a step by step way to insert the Google Analytics code to my Twitter page, that would be great.

A. I don't think that it is possible to add Google analytics to any twitter page.
But maybe it is possible i don't know .
