  1. 23.05.2018 Semalt Expert Teaches You Adding Google Analytics To A Site You must have heard of Google Analytics: the powerful tool which records all vital statistics on your website. It could be the average time users spend on a web page, the bounce rate, traf?c levels, number of page views plus so much more. By default, all web hosting packages include a tool that allows webmasters(you) to integrate Google Analytics into your website fully. As such, you're spared the agony of having to insert tracking codes on all web pages manually. Alexander Peresunko, the Customer Success Manager of Semalt, takes a look at some helpful information in this regard. To keep tabs with analytical data, you must ?rst create a Google Analytics (GA) account. Since this is obviously Google's product, you should have a Gmail account ready. Go to this link - www.google.com/analytics - for your account. When you copy and paste this link into your web browser, you'll be prompted to sign up. Set up your GA account and the property (property here is used to refer to your website). Fill in all the required data such as the website's name, its URL, time zone and industry.
