Hi. Until recently, one of the things I'd been meaning to do for AGES was to add Google Analytics code to all my websites.
I already added it to some of my smaller minisites like TotalResale.com — and the advantages were almost immediate.
Suddenly I knew what was happening on the site. I knew where people were coming from, what pages they were visiting, what keywords brought them to the site, how long they were staying… And LOTS more.
In short, Google Analytics proved to be a treasure trove of intel that I've started using to improve the site and get maximum value out of every page — and every visitor.
The problem, however, is that it takes a LOT of time and hassle to add the Analytics code to all your web pages.
It's all very well if you have just a couple of pages — or if you're just running a blog. You can have the code inserted in no time.
But what if you've got 50 individual pages? A hundred pages? A thousand pages??
Or what if, like my EbookTimes.com and BizzyDays.com, you've got tons of individual minisites set up for different reseller products on top of all the pages across the site itself?
Unless you've got a lot of time on your hands, you're never going to get around to adding the code to all those pages and re-uploading them to your server.
But you know what?
I DID IT!
I added Google Analytics code to ALL the pages on EbookTimes.com and ALL the pages on BizzyDays.com.
And guess how long it took me…
A little under FIVE MINUTES!
On top of that, not only are all the pages on the server now retro-fitted with the Google Analytics code, BUT every single page I ever add in the future will also get the code AUTOMATICALLY!
How the heck did I do it?
Simple.
I used a new piece of software called Easy Code Pro:

All I had to do was paste my Google Analytics code into the software and press the "Create" button.
It instantly created a few small files that I saved to my PC. Then, I just uploaded those files to the server and, hey presto, I've got the GA code on all my current and future pages without ever having to lift a finger again.
Honestly, I have NO IDEA how this works, but it DOES work — like magic.
And get this…
Easy Code Pro isn't just useful for adding Google Analytics code, you can use it to add ANY code that you might want to place on all your pages.
For example, thanks to Google Analytics I discovered that there were a lot of old and obscure pages on BizzyDays.com that were getting regular visitors. I decided it would be a good idea that these pages should contain a PopOver ad inviting people to subscribe to the Ebook Times newsletter.
Again, however, I didn't want to spend hours adding the code to all those pages.
Enter Easy Code Pro.
I pasted my popover code into the software and pressed the "Create" button. Then I uploaded the new files it created. Again, in the space of two minutes I had added the popover code to every page on the site. (Don't worry, it's set to show up once only, so visitors won't get hit with it on every page the visit.)
And if I ever decide to change the popover, I won't have to worry about updating every page again. Just run Easy Code Pro and upload the new files.
I don't normally get THIS excited about a piece of software, but Easy Code Pro has already saved me so much time — and added so much value to my business — it's hard NOT to get excited.
And these are just to examples of how you could use this software.

If you're like me, this is a genuinely useful piece of software that you'll be keeping on your desktop, ready to deploy every time you need to go through the tedious task of adding code across multiple web pages.
All the best,
Michael
