Hey Everybody
I have been learning all about SEO and Social Media over the past 4 months and now I am ready to venture out and start dabbling with analytic’s. Does anybody have any recommendations where to begin? What are good programs to use for WordPress sites?

We use google analytics primarily. I set up google analytic goals as well, so that I can see which leads are actually the most valuable.
Here’s a video I did a while ago on how to set up goals in GA…some of it might be dated…

Thanks Rich,Great video. Sometimes this stuff can seem a bit complicated and your excellent explanation is really clear.
Matthew, I’ve found the training from Google is helpful in learning more and also recommend Lynda.com as a resource. You might also like to check out HubSpot’s free Inbound Marketing University for some additional insights regarding how SEO, analytics, etc. work together.

Quick question: I noticed my entry above showed up in different sizes of type and boldness. I’m curious why this is happening. I did not create this or change the size and notice I am blocked from changing formatting…So, since I am new to the group is there a setting I should use?Thanks for the help.Barbara
