Wring Value from Google Analytics
December 30, 2008
I fielded several questions in the days before the ghost of Christmas present visited the coal country where I live in rural Kentucky. One question pertained to Google Analytics. If you haven’t seen analytics in action, point your browser to http://trends.google.com and you can see some of what’s possible. A Google search for “Google Analytics” works well too. To dig more deeply into Google Analytics, you will want to read Kissmetrics’s article “50 Resources for Getting the Most Out of Google Analytics” here. My Web log gets so little traffic, analytics depress me. But you, gentle reader, probably have a high traffic site, and you will benefit by clicking through sites and services grouped by useful headings; for example, “Beginner” and “Plugins, Hacks & Additions”. Very useful collection of information. Highly recommended.
