I'm spending time this week
updating my social sharing buttons,
claiming authorship of my blog posts, and linking with my Google profiles.
A big part of this is also to update my
Google Analytics to track social interactions with
kinlane.com and
blog.apievangelist.com.
If you have set up both Google +1 and the latest version of Google Analytics on the same page, all +1 social interactions will be tracked automatically.
To get social interaction tracking and reporting for other networks like Facebook or Twitter, you need to integrate Google Analytics tracking along with each network button.
Using Google Analytics Social Tracking, you can record interactions range from a Facebook "Like" to a Twitter "Tweet." This allows me to view track on these social interactions along with other traffic to my blogs, in my Google Analytics dashboard.
I added tracking for Facebook recommendations:
Also added tracking for Facebook shares:
Then I added tracking for tweets:
There were not ready to go scripts for tracking LinkedIn and StumbleUpon. I will be working on these as I can, so that I can track shares from my blogs to these social networking and bookmark sites.
