Heres how you know what people are searching for on your blog with Google analytics

I believe you must have register for a Google analytic account but if not, you can sign up for one HERE Now, you need to run a search on your blog using your search box i.e using a search engine and look at the url in your address bar. We need to identify the query parameter for your blog.

In the case of this blog, the query parameter is "q" as shown in the screenshot below.

Any letter or word that comes before the equal-to sign (=) is your query parameter, i.e "query parameter=search terms". Some blogs will have their query parameter as "s" or "search".

Now you will need to login into your Google analytic account. At the main navigation bar, click on the "Admin" panel and go to "View Settings".


In your profile settings area, scroll down to where it says "Site Search Settings", enable it, activate "Site search Tracking", put your query parameter in the "Query parameter" box and save your settings.

You have save your settings, how do track your site search activities?

Under "Behavior" section, go to "Site search" and navigate to "Search Terms" to see what people have been searching for. But the report might not comes up immediately, you will have to wait for few hours for Google analytic to gather up the data.

With the information provided, you should be able to see what people expect you to have on your blog and if the information is not available at the moment, you can provide one with your comments and with that i think more content ideas will be developed.

Happy tracking and good luck in your blogging journey!
