What is Website Analytics?
Website Analytics is the process of tracking, collecting and analyzing data about visitors to your website. Website analytics provides you, the website owner, with a detailed view of how visitors interact with your website. In addition, website analytics helps website owners track and monitor campaign, conversion and ROI goals. Website analytics is the key to understanding your visitors and the effectiveness of your website in attaining its goals.
What Does A Website Analytics Program Track?
Website Analytics allows website owners to track visits from myriad sources: direct traffic (typing the domain name directly into a browser), referred traffic (clicks to your website from other websites) search engine traffic (visitors to your website that used a search term to find it). For example, Website Analytics permits website owners to ascertain the keyphrases used to access website pages, number of visits from a specific keyword, time spent on the site, bounce rate, new visitors, where the visitors are from, top landing pages, top exit pages, clicks per referring domain URL, sales conversions and ROI per keyphrase/campaign, and so much more. In an instant, Website Analytics tells us if our website visitors came from paid listings, organic listings, email marketing campaigns, affiliate programs or other direct referrals. In sum, Website Analytics tracks visitors and marketing campaign efficiencies so that the return on your website optimization investment or advertising investment can be optimized.
A View Into Visitor Behavior: Google's Free Website Analytics Tool
Google Analytics is ahead of the search engine pack in regard to understanding visitor characteristics and behaviors. Google Analytics offers the most comprehensive free website analytics tool available.
Google Website Analytics has the ability to generate online user reports that detail and consolidate user click behaviors. Website owners no longer need to rely solely on server log analysis or even subscription-based analytics software to make sense of their website traffic.
Website developers will find Google Analytics extremely useful because it allows easy tracking of the browser and platform version, browser version and screen resolution size of each visitor's computing device (PC, laptop, smartphone, iPad). Website developers use this pertinent information to better serve your visitors. For instance, they can identify areas of your website that might not be tailored to your current audience or they can identify a new audience that would require you to change the way your website is displayed.
For the marketing professionals, Google Analytics provides detailed reports on unique visitors entering your website, i.e., new vs. returning visitors, length of stay per visitor, number of page views, etc. The resulting statistical evidence can illustrate high website bounce rates, better performing products, competitive product pricing, and more.
Moreover, Google Analytics can categorize website visitors according to geography, repeat entrances to your website, preferred page visits, preferred product purchases – all with the intention of keeping visitors and customers loyal to your website. Google Analytics in particular and Website Analytics tools in general are geared to identifying your customer preferences and yielding metrics to allow you to retain those customers.
