    Google Analytics can be a very useful tool for your website. It lets you see various information on your site such as where people find you, which keywords, refferal sites, hits, uniques, and much more. It provides a great amount of information which is very helpful. Do any of you guys use it as a tool to improve your site?

    Here is how it looks:

    I've been using the Google Analytics since the very start of my site. It works well, and gives me a good look on the visitors. :)

    No kidding. I never knew you could get so much information from just an IP, and stuff like that.

    Also, I'm happy to have given you your 400th like. lol :D

    Haha thanks, and yes Analytics is great, xenforo has it integrated, all you need is a code number to use and their you have it. But if you dont have it integrated in your forum software you can use a html code to put on your page.

    Google Analytics is a must for any site, blog or forum owner. I have had it from day one and the information it provides is invaluable.

    For example, 35% of our visitors to our forum are using Android, I probably wouldn't have even considered this but we think about these things when planning changes and improvements.

    I use this tool mostly to see where my visitors come from. So when I see i get a lot of people from another site I try to promote my site there more. Google Analytics really helped me a lot.
