  6. Analytics

  7. What is Web Analytics? The measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of internet data for purposes of understanding and optimizing web usage. “On the Internet, no one knows you’re a dog.”

  8. What is Google Analytics (GA)? A FREE “enterprise-class” web analytics solution that gives you rich insights into your website traffic and marketing effectiveness. EASY TO USE!

  9. GA Answers Difficult Questions • How are visitors using my site? • How can I make my marketing campaigns more effective? • Am I creating effective content? • Where and why are visitors leaving my site? • How do I improve site interaction?

  10. GA Provides Valuable Data • Number of visitors • How long visitors spend on your site • Popular and problem pages • Search engine keywords being used to find your site • Referring website traffic • Conversion data (how many are actually becoming members!)

  11. Dashboard

  20. Search Engine Marketing

  21. Why Is It Important? TRAFFIC! • The higher a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. • The more keywords/phrases the site is optimized for the more opportunities for driving traffic.

  22. Organic Searchterm Natural/Organic Search Results

  23. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) The process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site or a web page via "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results as opposed to search engine marketing (SEM) which deals with paid inclusion.

  29. Anatomy of Search Result • Title Tag • Meta Description • URL/Cached • Site links • More Results

  30. Title Tag • Title Tag: A title tag tells both users and search engines what the topic of a particular page is. • Displays a title for the page in search-engine results • Defines a title in the browser toolbar • Provides a title for the page when it is added to favorites
