Google Analytics was developed from a system known as Urchin on Demand. This company was acquired from Google in 2005. The program was first reintroduced under the Google name in November of 2005. Demand was so high for the new service that only a week after its introduction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Google had to close the system down for new sign ups. It remained touch and go for quite some time as Google made room for new users. At one time Google released special codes through a lottery to allow new users into the madly popular system.
Google Analytics can provide you with over 80 different reports pertaining to visitors,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], keywords,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], usage, and much more. It is one of the best free sources of information for web developers in the world. In order to use GA,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you’ll need to install a tracking script on your web pages; all the logged information will be stored in a database and you’ll be able to log into your Google account to access the information from any web browser at any time. You’ll also have the option of anonymously sharing your site information with Google, which gives you the ability to compare your site to others who also share their data.

Made for Small Businesses
Google Analytics may seem intimidating on the surface because there is so much information available. However, the GA dashboard is extremely customizable making the information relatively easy to find and comfortable to read through. In fact,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it can actually be kind of addictive to spend endless time pulling up reports and digging through the data.
History of Google Analytics
Google Analytics is an extremely popular website analytics program due to its ease of use and its great price tag (free). While there are a few terms of service you must agree to in order to use the system (such as not tracking personally identifiable information, among others) the terms are easy for most website owners to comply with. If you’re not using GA on your own website,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I suggest you get started with it right away.
While Google Analytics is used by major websites around the globe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it was actually created for the small- to mid-size website marketer. Only sites that have less than 5 million page views per month can utilize Google Analytics. (Of course if you are getting more than 5 million page views,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or one view every two seconds,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], per month then Google Analytics is probably not going to tell you anything you haven’t already figured out.)
Google created this service to get new website owners into the swing of things. Webmasters who aren’t very familiar with search engine optimization or improving website conversions can gain great insight from their Google Analytics account.
Google Analytics is one of the many tools that Google provides to webmasters and marketers. Like most of Google’s many services,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is a free one. Google Analytics lets you discover various statistics about your website,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], such as the amount of traffic your site is getting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where your site visitors are coming from, and the keywords web surfers are using to find your site, among other things.
Further it is fully integrated into the Google Adwords system. You might already be familiar with Adwords – it’s the system that allows you to create and purchase textual advertisements on Google for a pay per click price. The links that run along the right hand side and at the very top of the Google results pages are purchased through the Adwords system.
