HuskyCaucasian Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I recently decided to give Google Analytics a try on two of the three websites I manage. I must say, I was very impressed. It gave me a real idea of traffic flow and what pages need to be kept most up-to-date. I am curious if anyone has experience with Google Analytics.

CrimsonWeltall Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Yeah, my company uses Google Analytics. We formerly used WebTrends, but that costs $$$$$$$$$. Free is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly. I'm not using it to sell advertising or anything like that. So it's good for basic traffic data. It probably could be used easily for selling adds, but I have no need for it.

Rex Kickass Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 It's free but it misses a lot of traffic, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I've used Google Analytics extensively for the site I managed at my previous position, and now the site I currently manage. If you want to "control" your presence on Google as much as possible, it is absolutely a must. No one outside of Google knows exactly how their algorithms work, but having Analytics gives you the best chance to raise your organic ranking and bring in more business.
