I Just Installed Google Analytics by fidorocks(m): 6:15pm On Jul 07, 2016
I just installed google analytics on my site but then am so confused with all the stats and reports on traffic coming to my site.
Who can explain this in a language I understand.

Thought analytics helps rank higher in the google index and for searches?

Google Analytics does NOT help to rank higher or index better. It only helps you to monitor your blog's progress. It reveals which countries you're getting visits from, how many visits you're getting, which devices they're using to assess your site, and which operating systems are used. It also reveals how many visitors are redirected to your site from search engines, which keywords your site is ranking for, and how many visitors access the site directly, among several other details.

So, again, it's basically a not a tool for boosting traffic. It's no more than a monitoring and intelligence tool. But you can use the data you get from it to boost your rankings. For example, if you notice that your blog is ranking for a certain keywords, you can pull more traffic from those keywords by publishing more posts around them.

@ bolded, analytics isn't for that.

To get more traffic, you need to study on SEO or run paid ads to your site.

In case you were not informed, THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS smiley
