ECinteractivePLUS®: Setting Up Google Analytics™ for Your Site You can use Google Analytics™ to learn how visitors interact with your site. Google Analytics gives you free reports on your site visitors, including their referring sites, search engines, search keywords, time on each page, pages per visit, geographic location, browser versions, and much more. This analysis can help you make informed decisions about your marketing campaigns, increase conversions from guest to loyal customer, and empower you to grow your business online. Google offers a basic set of Analytics services free of charge. For more details and to sign up, see www.google.com/analytics/. To make Google Analytics easy to implement in ECinteractivePLUS®, your Admin site has a Google Analytics ID box in Site Preferences. After you update your Google Analytics tracking code, the ECinteractivePLUS system automatically enters it onto every page of your front-end site so that Google Analytics can track your traffic.
