Web Analytics
The purpose of analytics is to help you optimize your site, but also:
- campaign support
- usability insights
- audience demographics
- user engagement

— n computing The measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of internet data for purposes of understanding and optimizing web usage.
Cross Domain Tracking
Balancing ActNot all instances with 3rd-party sites will require cross domain tracking.
Identifies multiple sites as being associated with one UA code.
4
“Passes” UTM codes or cookies between sites
Used mostly with 3rd-party vendors
Ecommerce Tracking
Don’t ForgetMost likely, you will want this in conjunction with cross domain tracking.

Advanced Segments
Not Too ManyIt’s only possible to have four segments selected at a time. So if you have one segment selected in Account A, then you can only select three in Account B.
Uses RegEx, Exact Matching, Contains, and a few others
6
Can be inclusive or exclusive
Session Based
Custom Reports
ProTipAverage Time on Site != Time on Site.
Avg = Time on Site/Visits
Time on Site = Sum of all time on site
Setup is drag and drop and you can filter inside the report.
7
Does not affect your data
Can be shared across multiple accounts at once
Custom Dashboard
Not Too ManyYou are limited to twelve widgets per board. I have yet to reach my board limit, but I’ll tell you if I do.
Both Private and Collaborative
8
Uses widgets that can be added manually or from GAFinally can add segments and export functions!
Goals and Funnels
Target MarketsKnow that if you are using funnels to monitor visitor paths, all the goals will have the same conversion rates. You’ll always have to check those in the funnel report.
New goal setup up tool!
9
Goals should always be GOMs or otherwise actionable.If you add funnels, you can see where the transaction path broke down.
Only measure things that you’re prepared to optimize. - 500 events per session; 1 event per second.
- Use GA’s A/B testing tool.
-Get out there and mess some things up!
- But not really. Have a backup profile.
- Always check your setup.
Onward and Upward!“Great sites and campaigns
are a product of evolution, not creation.”
