Sebastopol, CA—Do you know what people do when they visit your website or web app? Or how much the site contributes to your bottom line? Google Analytics keeps track and makes it easy for you to learn precisely what's happening.

Google Analytics: Understanding Visitor Behavior (O'Reilly Media, $29.99 USD)—by expert and Google Analytics Certified Partner Justin Cutroni (@justincutroni)—shows you how to get the most out of this free and powerful tool.

"I'm really excited about this book," says Cutroni. "It's up to date and covers recent enhancement like the asynchronous tracking code and custom variables. I hope everyone using Google Analytics finds this to be a valuable resource."

Google Analytics: Understanding Visitor Behavior shows you how to track different market segments and analyze conversion rates.

  • Learn how to configure the system to measure data most relevant to your business goals
  • Track online marketing activities, including cost-per-click ads, email, and internal campaigns
