How do I use Analytics?

You can use Analytics to track a variety of web-based content.

  • Tracking multiple websites
    Google Analytics will track as many websites as you own! We've provided multiple reporting views in your account, so you can view individual reports for specific domains or subdomains.
  • Tracking your blog, MySpace, or Facebook pages
    To use Google Analytics to track your pages on Facebook, MySpace, WordPress or other solutions, we recommend that you search for 3rd-party widgets that simplify the Analytics set up for pre-defined site templates. You may not be able to use Analytics on sites where you cannot edit the page code (such as on MySpace, for example). However, often you will be able to find plugins or widgets that will help you use Analytics in your page.
  • Tracking traffic from RSS feeds
    In order for Google Analytics to track data, it is necessary that the Google Analytics tracking code gets executed. Since most RSS/atom readers cannot execute JavaScript, Analytics will not count pageviews that are loaded through an RSS reader. Analytics requires that the user execute a JavaScript file on Google's servers in order to track that pageview.
  • Using Analytics with other web analytics solutions
    You can run Google Analytics in parallel with any third-party or internal solution you've already deployed.

How Much Does Analytics Cost?

If your site generates 10 million or fewer hits per month, then Google Analytics is free. If your site generates more than 10 million hits per month, then we offer increased limits as part of Google Analytics Premium.
