GA**: Google Analytics is a website traffic analizer from google. It can tell you quite an interesting number of facts about your website, like
- how many visitors have been on your site
- how many of them are new visitors
- which page attracts more users
- what parts of the world your users are from
- how much time do they spend on your site
- traffic source to your site
You also have the option to set goals for your site and map it against the actual.
What you need first is a google user account and profile. Then go to google analytics and access analytics. Register your website address in your analytics profile. You are almost done.
Google needs to put a small javascript snippet in your website to send traffic information to analytics engine. This javascript code, which google will provide you once you register your website, needs to go between the <head> and </head> tags of your website HTML.
PS: If you want to track traffic on your blog site; you can do that buy going to your blogger account->Layout->Edit HTML. make sure to put this script in <head> section itself, though google will ask you to put it in <body> tag. <head> is the right place for javascript and everything will work properly. It only makes a difference if you have Ajax style body rendering without loading the entire page. Since that is not the case with blogger, we are good.
You are all set. Give google 24 hours to collect the initial stats from your site and be surprised to see who your users are.
