Google Analytics is currently my favorite web analysis tool. If you not familiar with it yet, I recommend to check it out.
In order to learn more about it, you can go to YouTube and watch a couple of the video tutorials. To start, Google has a great introduction for getting familiar with the interface of Google Analytics:
Great additional tips, info and add-ons:
- There is a great primer on Newsvine how you can set it up in three steps.
- In a great post on Top Rank Blog Thomas McMahon highlights five lesser know Google Analytics features.
- Daily Blog Tip mentions 5 great Google Analytics reports for bloggers.
- Wilson Web lists 10 tips for getting better data from Google Analytics.
- In case you have an online business, I recommend to read the post “Google Analytics E-Commerce Tracking: Installation and Setup” by Analytics Talk.
- Very informative also is the post “Flash Tracking” by A-SFUG.
- Needless to say that it’s always worth to check out the Google Analytics blog for news and updates.
- For all the Wordpress bloggers: I recommend to install the Google Analytics plugin for Wordpress. Its interface is very nice, and the fine grained stats and AdSense integration make it a particularly powerful tool.
I will write more about Google Analytics and other web traffic analysis tools. Come back and check for more!
