=Activity 4-1 Google Analytics= Back to Week 4]

[|Google Analytics] is a thorough service that you can use to track the visitors to your website. More than that, you can find out how people found you, what they did on your site, how much time they spent on your site, and follow where they went on your site. Basically analytics allows you an insider look into how your website is being used.

Before diving in too deep with the reporting and marketing features of analytics, we need to install the script to run analytics on your website.
