{184 Countries Visited and Info about Google+ Custom URL}

Wow, on Halloween I had Country 184 visiting. A Big Welcome to the Aland Islands! I also would like to share some Google+ data with you and how to create your own Google+ Custom URL.
October 31, Aland Islands visited. 
Any guess where that is? 
In the Baltic Sea near Sweden and Finland and the language spoken is Swedish.
Today I did check my Google Analytics and found an interesting surprise that I want to show you.
Both, my Zen Cart powered on line boutique: Mariette's Back to Basics and my Mariette's Back to Basics.blogspot.com do have a Google Analytics number. This is important so you can track what you are doing. That's what I like to show you with the following screenshot... 
Traffic to my blog is being generated by:
1. google.com
2. blogger.com and 
3. plus.url.google.com or Google+ that is.
Are you using google+ already? 
For the four months that I have been using it, I am impressed so far by its ranking 3.

To those that not yet know how this works, I will show you my Google+ URL: 

https://plus.google.com/u/0/100490423051043047646/about That's it, a long string of numbers...
If you scroll down, you will also find my favorite blogs listed there.

BUT after I read Getting Started with Google+ Custom URLs ←click it
I did change and now it looks neat like this: google.com/+MarietteVandenMunckhofVedder
If you copy and paste that into your browser, it will take you straight to my google+  but it will be real easy to remember by anyone if not at hand.


If you like to get one yourself, go to the above link and follow the instructions; easy peasy!
Try it out, it works as shown in my Google Analytics of today, ranking 3rd in a short period of time.
