Google Analytics and Adwords
Google Analytics and Adwords
•To track a website, you first have to create a Google Analytics account. Then you need to add a
small piece of JavaScript tracking code to each page on your site.
•Every time a user visits a webpage, the tracking code will collect anonymous information about
how that user interacted with the page.
•The tracking code could show how many users visited a page or how many users bought an item by
tracking whether they made it to the purchase confirmation page.
1. Real-Time reports let you look at live user behaviour on your website including information
like where your users are coming from and if they’re converting.
2. Audience reports show you characteristics about your users like age and gender, where
they’re from, their interests, how engaged they were, whether they’re new or returning
users, and what technology they’re using.
3. Behaviour reports show how people engaged on your site including which pages they
viewed, and their landing and exit pages. With additional implementation, you can even
track what your users searched for on your site and whether they interacted with specific
elements.
4. Conversion reports allow you to track website goals based on your business objectives.
5. The admin section contains all of your Google Analytics settings such as user permissions,
tracking code, view settings, and filters.
Google AdWords
Google AdWords is an advertising service by Google for businesses wanting to display ads on Google
and its advertising network. The AdWords program enables businesses to set a budget for
advertising and only pay when people click the ads.
• Write short ads that Google will display based on keyword groups and geo-targets.
• They click on your ad and depending on your bid, you will pay a certain amount for that click.
Basic Terms:
• The number of impressions is the number of times that an advertisement has been shown
(through Google AdWords or other forms of PPC advertising) or a webpage has been listed
on a SERP (Search Engine Results Page, in the case of search engine optimization).
• Clicks: A click is counted even if the person doesn't reach your website, maybe because it's
temporarily unavailable. As a result, you might see a difference between the number of
clicks on your ad and the number of visits to your website.
• Clickthrough rate (CTR), tells you how many people who’ve seen your ad end up clicking on
it.
• PPC stands for pay-per-click, a model of internet marketing in which advertisers pay a fee
each time one of their ads is clicked.
• Cost Per Acquisition is a financial metric used to directly measure the revenue impact of
marketing campaigns.
