42 Rules for Applying Google Analytics is understanding a visitor's
journey through your website then applying that measurement, collection
and analysis of data for the main purpose of adequately optimizing and
improving website performance. This includes learning where your visitors
come from and how they interact with your site or measuring key drivers
and conversions such as which web pages encourage people to react by
calling, emailing or purchasing a product.
The benefit of applying this free knowledge, whether you are an
advertiser, publisher, or site owner, will help you write better
ads, strengthen your marketing initiatives, and create higher-converting
web pages.
It is even more imperative to apply analytics now that online advertising
channels have evolved from traditional display and text to mobile,
video and social networking. If you are to succeed, it is a must
and not an option to align metrics with business goals, draw actionable
conclusions and articulate metrics and goals to stakeholders.
