Heard about Google Analytics but not sure what it is and why you need it?
Google analytics is a wonderful FREE Google programme designed to enable you to track & measure traffic to your website or blog. It offers real time information regarding who, when, how & what visitors are doing when they reach your site.
Google analytics measures your site number of visitors, pageviews, the average time spent on your site, the bounce rate and numbers of new & returning visitors which gives you a great overview of how well your site is performing in attracting and retaining readers.
If you have a high pages visit, high average time spent on your site and a low bounce rate it generally indicates that readers are finding your site attractive, useful & meeting their needs.
You can check out readers demographics including language, country, browser, operating system & service provider including increasingly important mobile visitors. Visitor behaviour is also measured in terms of how often they visit, how long they stay, how many pages they view & where the visitors are coming from.
As much as Google analytics will show you your site strengths, you'll also be able to pinpoint where your weaknesses are, goals you can set to reach and areas to concentrate your efforts on.
