Ahmed Nassef, the current general manager of Maktoob.com, will continue to lead the Maktoob.com teams and will report to Keith Nilsson.

Posted by Cleartag in Online Marketing on August 18, 2009
What is Google Analytics?
Google Analytics is a service from Google that generates statistics about your website or blog
The service provides a tracking code to implement on your web pages. After 24 hours of installing the code, you will be able to see detailed statistics about your website.
Google Analytics will help you better understand your visitors’ trends and behavior, your website/blog performance and build on this data to achieve your business goals.
The Site Usage overview shows:
- Total number of visits, Pageviews and the average number of pages per visit.
- The Bounce Rate: the percentage of users who visit the website and leave directly from the home page, without checking other pages on the site. This is an important key indicator of website performance, however, it might not be very useful in full Flash websites or blogs.
- Average Time on Site: this can be an indicator of your website “stickiness” and usefulness for your visitors.
Google Analytics will show more detailed statistics and custom reports. The statistics are divided into 4 categories:
• Visitors Details:
- Map Overlay: showing the top countries and cities of the visitors
The upcoming posts will explain in details the other 3 sections of Google Analytics:
• Traffic Sources
• Content
• Goals
If you need to implement and configure Google Analytics, please get in touch.
If you have any feedback or questions on the topic or the post, please share your comments.
