Google Analytics is one of the most important website tools available, so it’s no surprise that as many as 30 to 50 million websites use the free service.
It tells you essential information about your website, including:
- How many people are visiting it.
- Where they come from.
- How long they stay on your site.
- The times of day and week your site has the most visitors.
- Which pages are the most and least popular?
- Where your website traffic comes from.
This knowledge enables you to make important decisions about and changes to your website to ensure that it delivers on your business objectives.
One of the greatest things about using Google Analytics is that it is very simple to create a Google Adsense account. This is one of the ways that blogs and websites can begin to make money from the traffic that they can see coming in from Google Analytics.
Using the information about your audience, you can create an Adsense campaign with adverts and placement to increase your potential ad income.
There are only a few stipulations that you need to adhere to in order to make money from AdSense:
- You must be over 18 years of age.
