Google Website Analytics

One of the most valuable website analysis and visitor tracking tools that we use on all client websites with The Idea People is Google Analytics. We create, install, and manage your Google Analytics account giving you total access and education about the traffic, keywords, and trends with your business website.

We use our proven process to improve the performance of your website. The only way we can make professional adjustments to your website is through analysis of your website traffic and visitor behavior. Only then can we improve visitor conversions, promote important pages, adjust keyword strategies, strengthen page optimization, improve links, test new content, and monitor visitor reaction.

Google analytics and website reporting tools play an important role in the adjacent Internet marketing and website optimization services that we deliver to our website clients. Understanding the evolving Google search engine algorithms, effects on overall traffic by initiatives like the Panda updates, and tracking website visitor searches and entry/exit pages enables us to work with you in building a stronger return on your website investment.

Website Analytic Terms used by The Idea People

• » Bounce Rate - the percentage of single-page visits in which the person left your site from the entrance (landing) page. Ideally, a bounce rate under 50% is desirable.
• » Conversion - a conversion occurs when a visitor reaches a goal established for your website inside Google analytics. The conversion goal could be reaching the Contact Page or other URL, or setting a Time on the Site goal, or a Pages per Visit goal.
• » Hit - a hit is just a request from the website to the web server for a file. The "hit" is not a measurement of how many people came to the website. It is a term used to measure web server use and loads.
• » Impression - a display of a link or advertisement on a web page.
• » Landing Page - the first page a user views when they enter your site.
• » Pageview - Google Analytics logs a pageview each time the tracking code is executed or the page is loaded in your browser. It has nothing to do with the times a person "sees" your page.
• » Unique Pageview - total pageviews that are generated by the same person during the same session.
