This is excellent and I did not know the real value of these tools. I have seen and ignored them in the past.

It's great you're going to dive in!

Thanks Lisa. There's so much potential on Google Analytics, and somehow I have the feeling I'm stuck with its basic functions. This article is really helpful.

LisaDJenkins • 9 years ago

I'm happy to read that this is going to move you forward, Paul!

Hi Lisa, what is the difference between goals and events?

LisaDJenkins • 9 years ago

Hi Walter. Good question. Basically, Goals track specific actions with the URLs on your site while Events track a user's actions on things like ad clicks, content downloads (like a pdf) or video views that may not require a screenload from your site.

WOW - didn't realize all the bells and whistles Google has put into the most recent analytics application. Thanks, Lisa, for pointing them out to us.

I'm so not a numbers guy, so stuff like this helps me out a ton!

This is certainly the most comprehensive resource I've seen for Google Analytics. Thank-you Lisa for the huge effort it must have taken to put this together. I'll be adding it as a resource for my business clients as well as the 2000 members of my International Association of Professional Life Coaches.

Social share icons on the left panel is hindering the readability of content, what is the use of them if one can't read it.

Dana Leipold • 8 years ago

Great resources. I learned a lot from this post. Thank you!

This article is a great replacement for many tutorials I've seen (most of them don't really make sense). Thanks for sharing, very useful stuff for newbies and beginners!
