Google Analytics is a free online tool measuring the performance of a given website and one of the most popular clickstream data tools that has ever been created. Basically, it shows you stats regarding your articles and journals or web pages on Seekyt. With an Analytics account you can find useful information about your visitors, traffic sources, content, time spent by visitors on your pages, entrance keywords and paths, and a lot more. Google Analytics can also be used as a keyword tool because it provides you with data about keywords or phrases which have been bringing you lots of traffic.
Visitor trending, browser capabilities, network properties, mobile stats and a number of other interesting data regarding your traffic may be extremely valuable while working on search engine optimization.
Google Analytics doesn’t directly help you to earn money from your articles, but it does help you track and improve the performance of your articles and journals. Knowing how to turn these data into information that enables you to understand your website visitor’s experience is the key to success and making money from online article writing on Seekyt.
If you’re new to web analytics, you may want to learn more about Google Analytics.
Be sure not to confuse Google Analytics with a Google account. Your Google account serves Google to identify you as a person and your Analytics account is an instance used to track websites for which you configured separate profiles.
How to Sign Up for Google Analytics
The e-mail address you use to create your Analytics account is a Google login in. This means that if you’ve registered your e-mail address for a sign-up for any of the Google services such as Gmail, Google AdSense, Picasa Albums, Feedburner, your personalized home page, etc., then you already have a Google login.
You don’t have to have a Google account to create an Analytics account, but if you want to make money with AdSense and track your Seekyt clickstream in Analytics, then it’s obligatory to have both accounts. You don’t have to have a Gmail address like example@gmail.com to create a Google account. Any valid e-mail address will do.
