The
two web tools you can't live without: Google Analytics & Optimizer
August
28, 2008
Google Analytics and Google Optimizer are two of the most valuable
site tools available to help boost your business. Hear from
James Tipton from Google, an expert in this area. Hell
provide the understanding you need to decide if these programs
will help your business. Also listen to Corey Koberg of WebShare
on how they use these tools to boost their business.
In
best Google style
these tools are freely available and
they are relevant for both causal users as well more in-depth
data mining.
Google
Analytics has all the features you'd expect from a high-end
analytics offering. It also provides tightly integrated AdWords
support, so you can view AdWords ROI metrics without having
to import cost data or add keyword tracking codes. Google Analytics
tracks all online campaigns, from emails to keywords, regardless
of search engine or referral source. Google Analytics helps
you find out what keywords attract your most desirable prospects,
what advertising copy pulled the most responses, and what landing
pages and content make the most money for you.
Google
Optimizer is the tool you use to optimize web sites content,
ratio of visitors purchase, read or click criteria.
If
you already use these tools then this is a chance to meet the
people behind the services and if you are not using the tools
yet this is an excellent chance to become familiar with them.
