Google analytics is a free service created by Google which allows you to track and monitor your sites traffic and view how effective your marketing is. It is aimed towards marketers as they can view how well their marketing campaigns are working, and what needs changing or improving.
Thr primary use of Google analytics is to monitor your websites traffic and track how users are getting to your site. For example, Google analytics produces charts showing how much traffic is being generated from Google organic searches, any CPC ad’s you may have, etc. From this you can then decide where you want to focus your marketing, depending on which areas are producing better results.
You can also view which pages of your site are attracting more users and therefore focus more attention on these pages and market them more specifically. Charts are produced to show you on which pages users are leaving your site, inlcuding during which point of purchasing an item users are leaving the checkout process. A chart shows you the exact number of users which are leaving on each page of the transaction and gives you a general idea of the reason they’ve left. This then allows you to review your checkout process and make any changes necessary to improve the process.
You can also track email marketing and social networking which is good as these are more modern forms of marketing that more and more companies are using to advertise.
