Google AdWords

  • To get useful information from your AdWords campaign in your Analytics account, you must link your accounts. This is not done automatically.

Concepts

  • Dashboard: not very useful, a collection of shortcuts.
  • Intelligence: useless, allows you to define automatic alerts.
  • Visitors: information about visitors (browsers, capabilities, country).
  • Traffic sources: very important, can help you understand where your visitors come from.
  • Content: which pages are viewed.
  • Goals: user-defined goals.
  • E-commerce: track transactions and items sold.
  • Custom reports: this can be quite useful as well.
  • Advanced segments: crucial, allows you to set custom segments.

Questions

  • What's the difference between "Organic" and "Referral" ?
