Google Analytics
August 14, 2009I just watched a video in the 30DC on Google Analytics and I am really impressed. Google makes it easy to add a feature to your website or blog to track your visitors, how they got to you, and how long they stayed.
To get started go to http://www.google.com/analytics and sign in using a Google sign-in or sign up.
Set up a new Website profile and Google will give you the code to copy on each page that you want to have analyzed. Then copy the code to your HTML code inside of the body tag. There is a Check Status button on the Google Analytics page that will confirm if you did it correctly.
Once complete, Google Analytics will start tracking the traffic to your website.
Available reports include how many visits during the time period, where the visitors are from, how they got to the website, what search terms they used to get to the website, how long they were on the website, and how they navigated through your website.
