I also put the Google Analytics (GA) tracking code on my site. I was getting analytics reports from GA for a while for this site and 2 others, until maybe about a a month or 2 ago.I was at the same time getting analytics data from Yahoo using a tool called Weblog Expert Lite and another site called Stat Counter. Stat Counter also stopped working. The Weblog Expert Lite works consistently every day. If you have a website created with Yahoo Small Business Services, use Weblog Expert Lite. I check my analytics every day. My website was created with Yahoo Small Business Services. I also put the Google Analytics (GA) tracking code on my site.

In addition to using Google Analytics, I've gotten into the habit of setting up my relevant keywords in Google alerts and reading the resulting webpages through the Google reader.In my case, I write articles to a blog and sometimes post those links on Twitter. One of the features in Google analytics, as you mentioned, is that it allows you to see where your referral links are coming from, so I can see how many times I get clicked on from Twitter. (conversion is surprisingly know. But at least I know).Readers can also find different freely available "backlink tracking" tools to see who is linking to your site, or in fact, to any site. This can give you some good competitive intel. Yahoo in particular has a popular and well-established one. I'm not sure whether I can post specific URLs in this text box, but anybody can just google it.I'm not affiliated with them, but I've recently come across and started using a piece of software called "Market Samurai", put out by a company called Noble Samurai. It does some pretty amazing stuff (the more you know what you're doing with SEO in general, the more you can take advantage of it). And, better yet, the keyword research tool is only one component, and it is built to integrate with several other applications you might be using, such as WordPress and several of the affiliate engines. .-= Eric Schwager´s last blog ..Cupertino and Mountain View among California cities with highest median home prices =-.

You can get sucked in very easily and spend hours on this stuff.However, if you plan right and manage your time right, Google Analytics is a goldmine for your business.
