Analytics A

Analytics is synonymous with measurement, and as the old saying goes, "you get what you measure." So in order to understand what attention and action you're getting in return for your online efforts, some form of analytics software needs to be installed on your website. Although analytics is a field that people spend entire careers mastering, this module is the first step in fishing for insights in an ocean of data.

This module introduces the field of analytics and uses Google Analytics as an example.
