Google Webmasters Tools

INTRODUCTION TO GOOGLE ANALYTICS

Google Analytics (GA) is a free service offered by Google that generates detailed statistics about the visitors to a website. Its main target audience is marketers, rather than webmasters as it aims to help to track and improve customer's web experience by providing meaningful statistics to help analyse a website's effectiveness.

GA can track visitors from all referrers, including search engines, display advertising, pay-per-click networks, email marketing and links within a hosted document,. Marketers can also integrate their Google Adwords campaign with GA for a one-stop tracking platform to evaluate their ROI effectiveness.
