Google Analytics Gets A Great New Look!

Writing by Nick Stamoulis on Saturday, June 20, 2009 Comments (2)

If you’ve never used Google Analytics then you’re missing out. It’s free and that’s a good selling point, but it’s also one of the best metrics tools on the planet. It’s certainly better than anything else out there in the free (or even paid) category of tracking products. And if you’ve been to the Google Analytics site but decided it wasn’t for you because you couldn’t find any of the helpful information, that has changed. They’ve changed the way they look.

Obviously, the new face is meant to make Google Analytics easier to work with for new users. If you are a veteran user then you likely sign up through your Personalized Google account. If not then you may see the face. It’s still helpful.

If you have a website and you want to know how users are using your website then I highly recommend Google Analytics. You simply add a little code to the pages of your site and verify it then you can track how users are using the site, including the number of visitors, unique visitors, time on site, time on individual pages, bounce rates, navigation patterns, traffic sources, and you can even create your own customized reports. It’s the perfect metrics tool to measure your search engine optimization efforts as well as paid search. Try it out.

I agree with the new look as well as the wealth of information, although it was challenging at first. I also found initially I could not get into the upgrade Webmaster tools for an extended period. I thought there was a problem with the computer, but it was on their end.

Thank you for your information.
