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. He’ll 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.
