Google Analytics

A friend recently told me about a thing called "Google Analytics".

It's yet again something intresting from google. This time it's a traffic analyzer.


Basically you just insert a small javascript block in the end of the page you want it to track. After that you can look at the statistics from your google analytics page.


It tracks quite many things and gives pretty detailed reports. In addition to the usual there's a few more special things too.

-Visits and page view
-New and returning visitors
-Source of the visitors (the referer page)
-Visitor countries
-Top search engine keywords
-Top entrance/exit/content pages
-Lots of marketing related things
-Browser versions, Platforms (Win/Linux/etc), Screen resolution, Screen colors, Languages, Java enabled, Flash version, connection speed, hostnames

Lots of optimization reports.. on content, marketing and such.
and much more
