Tracking a blog
It is often possible to include blogs in your tracking results, even when the blog account is outsourced to some free blog server.
Below you will find the instructions for how Blogger / Blogspot can be made apart of your Snoobi-account. The principle is that 1) the Snoobi tag must be added to the blog's page template and 2) the blog's domain address must be added to Snoobi's Settings. You can also try applying the same principle to other blogs!
1. Adding the Snoobi tag to your Blogger account
A. After logging in to Blogger, please choose
1. "Layout" (Manage: Layout) »
2. "Edit HTML"

B. Add the Snoobi tag to the end of the HTML template, right before the closing </body> tag. Remember to replace the account name with your own!
By placing the Snoobi tag in this loaction in the template, all your public content pages will be included in the tracking. This means that should you want to, you can also track Blogger's In-site Search engine.

C. Save template. Blogger is likely to exchange your quotation marks with apostrophies, but this shouldn't affect the actual tracking!
2. Setting Snoobi to accept hits from Blogger
By default, Snoobi's tracking is limited to the domain to which it was ordered. This is why it is essential, that you add your Blogger address to your Snoobi setting's Tracked sites (image 3).

To make sure everything works, do a test visit to your blog. This should cause a new visit to appear under Pages.
