Default Re: How to set up Google Analytics and monitor your traffic
Honestly it's less than than the need to visit every. single. page in order to see the results instead of just looking at a report. And there's no easy way to do a side-by-side comparison of different links.

For example, the blog carnivals. I'd love to be able to look at the clicked-on links in a list so I can see which get the most attention and see if there's a pattern. But there's no way to do that unless I go to each carnival page, manually enter the data into excel and then sort it. What a waste.

I just find it very inconvenient, bordering on useless. But then, I don't learn from images I learn from text so...

Everything else is laid out in a list, I don't see why they did this part differently.

Google analytics is good, but if you would like to track on real time, you can use http://www.hittail.com, it is free and also helpful for long tail keywords.

can you suggest any real time web analytics tool? as for as I know, google analytics provides a delayed analysis by 12 hours.

I tried installing google analytics about 6 months ago but got frustrated and gave up. This should help! Thanks, Hamid!

I'm curious how often people watch their sites. What I struggle with is knowing how and what to read analytics for. Now I'm trying to get into affiliate marketing. What should I be watching for?

I check mine every morning to see how many visitors, what pages they were looking at and also where in the world they were.

also how long they stayed on your website and the bounce rate % to see whether the people are coming to your website because they are looking for your keywords and whether it is not relevant to their search and they leave
