    Google Analytics is a service offered by Google that generates detailed statistics about a website's traffic and traffic sources and measures conversions and sales. The product is aimed at marketers as opposed to webmasters and technologists from which the industry of web analytics originally grew. It is the most widely used website statistics service.
    The basic service is free of charge and a premium version is available for a fee.
    Google Analytics can track visitors from all referrers, including search engines and social networks, direct visits and referring sites. It also displays advertising, pay-per-click networks, e-mail marketing and digital collateral such as links within PDF documents.

    Google Analytics is best Digital Tool to track your Traffic and more helpful to improve your traffic .

    Google Analytics provides powerful digital analytics for anyone with a web presence, large or small. It's one of the most powerful digital analytics solutions available - and it's free for anyone to use.

    Google Analytics will track as many websites as you own! We've provided multiple profiles in your account, so you can view individual reports for specific domains or subdomains.

    To use Google Analytics to track your pages on Facebook, MySpace, WordPress or other solutions, we recommend that you search for 3rd-party widgets that simplify the Analytics set up for pre-defined site templates

    If your site generates 10 million or fewer hits per month, then Google Analytics is free. If your site generates more than 10 million hits per month, then we offer increased limits as part of.
    Thanks
    Webmaster.

    read about it on google.com/analytics - it's pretty much the very first thing you should set up after building a website or getting access to if you buy an existing site.

    You get out of it what you put in, there's a wealth of information for sites no matter what you're covering.

    if you have any more specific questions feel free to contact me/reply to this post. Been working with it for nigh on 6 years now :)

    Hi Gerdesingh,
    Goals are normally set for when people visit a particular page or complete some form of action (such as clicking a button/downloading a file). Often you'll have a thank you page so you can set a goal that everytime someone visits the thank you page that will count as a goal.

    sometimes the way a website is coded may mean you don't always get www.mysite.com/contactus/thankyou.html, you may get a different URL each time, but as long as the URL starts with the same text like the following two:

    www.mysite.com/contactus/thankyou124949293ds92.html
    www.mysite.com/contactus/thankyou864993gf44884.html

    you can use head match to check for the first part (up to the thankyou) to track goals.

    RegEx/Regular Expression would be difficult to explain here, I suggest reading this article to find out more, definitely useful elsewhere in Analytics as well as goals. http://www.blueglass.com/blog/regular-expressions-dont-use-ga-without-them/

    Personally tracking a multi-million pound online site over the last 18 months I can accurately state that Goals and Conversion tracking should not be just in isolation with just Google Analytics.
    it is advisable to use alternative analytic also i.e. atlas tracking.
    If you are not an eCommerce site then the tracking can be misleading. Since we have £ notes in the bank in the end, alongside seperate tracking codes for affiliates, retargeting and PPC (using atlas) we can triangulate the goals and conversions to establish which channel the traffic came via and further how much came through this channel.
    Google Analytic has been consistently 11 - 15% out of sync with goals and conversion.
    We continue to use it and rely on it, but would not trust it on its own

    Use Google Analytics to learn which online marketing initiatives are cost effective and see how visitors actually interact with your site. Make informed site design improvements, drive targeted traffic, and increase your conversions and profits.

    I have big problems with all my tracking but it is not Analytics fault, the "Not Provided" traffic is as much a 30% of search traffic now and lots of traffic from Apple products is being filed as Direct. This makes my figures very innacurate

    Google Analytics is a Google traffic tracking tool for SEO and marketing purposes. It give you detail info about your old (existing) customers, new customers, their bounce rate, conversion ratio, landing page info, time spent on specific page, generate custom reports and more. One thing to remember about is analytics is that you have first of all to have grip on it.
