Getting Started with Website Analytics – Webinar with Idealware June 29th

June 29, 2011 - 6:00am

How many people visit your website every day? What are visitors doing when they get there? Which features are most popular? We'll talk through the tools and strategies you can use to get the answers to these questions. The seminar closes with a look at how you can fit analytics into your day-to-day processes.

Through demos of AWStats and Google Analytics (both free tools), we'll look at what these tools can tell you about your site and what the statistics mean. By the end of the webinar, you will understand:

• What information website analytics tools can (and can’t) tell you about your website

• The core statistics that are useful to track for your own site

• Whether a tool like AWStats or Google Analytics will be sufficient to your needs – or if you have more advanced requirements

• How these tools work, at a high level

• How to integrate website analytics into your day-to-day work

You will receive instructions on how to "attend" the webinar after you register.
