Google Analytics

January 7th, 2010 by tekro

At Tekro, we provide Awstats for tracking your website statistics.  For most people, this might be enough.  But we also recommend getting hooked up with Google Analytics.

It is a free application from Google which analyses your web traffic and produces easy to read reports.  You can use it to discover what is and is not working on your website.  This feedback allows you to fine tune your web content and measure the results.  For example, you can see where your visitors are coming from and at what time.  You can measure campaign effectiveness or which search engines are driving traffic.

Log into Google and go to http://www.google.com/analytics.  Add your website and Google will provide you a snippet of code to add to your website.  This snippet should appear on every page of your website for accurate results.  If your website is template driven, just insert it into the template.

If you need a hand with your website, submit a support ticket to Tekro and we will work with you to update your site.
