(heatmap data)</li> <li>Which bars were the most popular? (most visited pages or page views)</li> <li>How long did people stay at the party? (time spent on the pages)</li> <li>Where did people come to the party from? (traffic channels)</li> <li>What did people do while they were at the party? (user behavior)</li> <li>Photos and videos on the social network of this institution? (like recording video sessions)</li> </ul> <p>It’s like using a detective hat and magic glasses to see who came, where they came from, what they did and even how long they stayed at the party!</p> <h2>Digital Marketing Web Analitycs Examples</h2> <p>Web analytics is very voluminous; you need a visual example. To make it more comfortable for the users toanalyze the published data and their volumes, we decided to display them in graphs, which indicate all the information obtained via web analytics.</p> <p>Web analytics is used to analyze user experience (UX) statistics. We have made conclusions based on <a href="https://www.plerdy.com/user-experience-statistics/">data collected from thousands</a> of websites. They show typical behaviors that you should consider to optimize your user experience.</p> <h3>Web analytics of clicks by device</h3> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-300045291 size-full" src="https://www.plerdy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image5.png" alt="What Is Web Analytics? Guides & Definition 02" width="726" height="398" srcset="https://www.plerdy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image5.png 726w, https://www.plerdy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image5-300x164.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px" /></p> <h3>Web analytics of the scroll</h3> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-300045292 size-full" src="https://www.plerdy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image6.png" alt="What Is Web Analytics? Guides & Definition 03" width="720" height="398" srcset="https://www.plerdy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image6.png 720w, https://www.plerdy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image6-300x166.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /></p> <p>Web analytics of scrolling through pages shows that many visitors do not reach the bottom of the page (footer). Thus, if you place vital elements too deep (like contact forms, testimonials or certificates), no one will see them. Therefore, collect scroll data to offer optimal UX and locate important buttons or blocks + calls to action or menus within the first screens.</p> <h3>Web analytics data without clicks</h3> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-300045293 size-full" src="https://www.plerdy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image1.png" alt="What Is Web Analytics? Guides & Definition 04" width="729" height="389" srcset="https://www.plerdy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image1.png 729w, https://www.plerdy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image1-300x160.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px" /></p> <p>Web analytics data showingusers who did not click on the site page. On the screenshot, you can see that about half of user sessions are without clicks. It means a person visits the page, sees its content, scrolls down and reads but never clicks and leaves the page. The reasons are usually different, so you need a user experience (UX) analysis. Your site may miss important information, have the wrong headline or banner, have unconvincing calls to action, or have bugs on the first screen.</p> <h2>Common Iissues with Web Analytics</h2> <p>Web analytics can be as challenging as reading a map in hieroglyphics. Understanding so much data might be overwhelming. It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack!</p> <p>One of the common problems with web analytics is the problem of “data overload,” where you are inundated with a flood of numbers, statistics and graphs that make your head spin. In this case, you should use Google Data Studio or other tools.</p> <p>Another problem is the “data sampling” problem, where you try to draw conclusions based on a small sample of data. You need to complete the big picture and will fail to put it together correctly. It is common in Google Analytics.</p> <p>Experts such as Avinash Kaushik, the “Web Analytics Evangelist,” and Brian Clifton, a leading authority on web analytics, often advise having clear goals and objectives and establishing a clear strategy and measurement plan. Without these steps, they say, it’s like trying to bake a cake without a recipe and ending up with a mess. Like a detective solving a case, use quantitative and qualitative data and comprehend the context in which it was acquired. Then, with the right tools and approach, you can uncover the valuable information in the data and move to new heights of success.</p> <h2>Web Analytics Benefits</h2> <p>The success of any business depends on many factors. The most critical success factors are receiving, interpreting, and analyzing.</p> <h3>Tracking bounce rates and engagements</h3> <p>Web analytics provides numerous benefits in tracking a website’s performance. One of the most important ones is measuring bounce rate and engagement. Bounce rate measures the percentage of visitors who leave a website after only visiting one page, while engagement is an overall measure of how much a user interacts with elements. These measurements can help identify issues and optimize content and design to improve user experience, reduce bounce rate, and increase engagement, leading to higher conversion rates and better ROI.</p> <h3>Ability to track the success of marketing campaigns</h3> <p>At the same time, having seen the most unprofitable campaigns or those with low-performance indicators, an entrepreneur can stop financing them, thereby balancing their advertising budget.</p> <h3>Work on optimizing conversion rates</h3> <p>Web analysts can track web traffic indicators and user actions by working with the website and motivating potential buyers to complete practical tasks. Conversion rate = conversions / users.</p> <p>Web analysts can determine which actions are the most popular and why they respond better than others by analyzing user actions. Considering this data, specialists can motivate users to perform other actions to develop the business.</p> <h3>Ability to measure success in achieving the goals set</h3> <p>Web analytics tools allow you to track specific indicators the web analyst is interested in growing. Tracking the indicators chosen by the entrepreneur as goals can bring results thanks to constant monitoring of the situation and timely introduction of edits to the website.</p> <h3>Space for new ideas</h3> <p>Coming up with a new yet effective marketing campaign is difficult, especially if there is no data to guide you. Web analytics can help generate new ideas. Moreover, entrepreneurs can make their advertisements more effective using the data obtained because it will make it possible to understand what motivates users to click or take a targeted action more effectively.</p> <p>These are not all the positive aspects of web analytics, but they are enough to think about for its launch.</p> <h2>How to Set up Web Analytics?</h2> <p>Consider two corporate web analytics setup samples. Follow the steps below, and let’s go.</p> <h3>Google Analytics 4</h3> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-300063062" src="https://www.plerdy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/GA4-4.jpg" alt="What Is Web Analytics?

It typically involves logging into your CMS or accessing the code through FTP (SSH).</li> <li>Once you have access to the code for your web pages, you’ll need to add the GA4 tracking code to each page you want to track. It is typically done by pasting the tracking code into the header section of the page’s code.</li> <li>After adding the GA4, you’ll need to wait for data to appear in your GA4 reports (by checking the real-time report). It can take 24-48 hours for data to start appearing in your reports.</li> <li>An additional step is to set goals if you want to track specific user actions (events) on elements, such as form submissions or button clicks. You can do this in your account’s GA4 “Goals” section.</li> </ol> <p>Please note that these steps provide a general overview of the process for adding GA4 tracking code to a website. The specifics may vary depending on your website’s content management system or hosting platform. Check the Google Analytics official site for more detailed instructions and best practices.</p> <h3>Plerdy web analytics</h3> <p>For advanced and more detailed information, a web analyst, digital marketer or business owner can create a Plerdy account to collect data on user behavior on the pages. Follow the steps:</p> <ol> <li>Create a <a href="https://a.plerdy.com/auth/register" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Plerdy</a> account.</li> <li>Add a link to your domain.</li> <li>Follow the prompts, and you will find the Plerdy tracking code to add to your CMS according to the instructions.</li> <li>Next, go through all the onboarding steps, and you will find examples of setting up Plerdy reports.</li> </ol> <p>Using Google Analytics in conjunction with Plerdy, specialists can significantly increase the amount of information received for analytics and take a closer look at the metrics and aspects of each page.</p> <h2>The Main Channels of Web Analytics Traffic</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone" src="https://www.plerdy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/amazo.jpg" alt="What Is Web Analytics? Guides & Definition 05" width="894" height="439" /></p> <p>Web traffic is the website visitors’ volume and the data they receive and send. By analyzing this data, specialists can predict which traffic channels to develop.</p> <p>As for the web traffic channels themselves, the list of the main ones is as follows:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Organic traffic</strong> measures the number of users who have found a website using a search query by Google or Bing.</li> <li><strong>Paid traffic</strong> – this type of web traffic includes all traffic of users who came to the website after the advertising campaign. One of the leading providers of paid traffic is Google ADS.</li> <li><strong>Direct traffic</strong> – this traffic includes all visits made via a direct link.</li> <li><strong>Referral traffic</strong> – this web traffic includes all users visiting the website following links. The web traffic that crowd marketing brings is referred to as referral traffic. The user is interested. Using referrers can hide the referrer information.</li> <li><strong>Social traffic</strong> – as the name suggests, this traffic represents users who have visited your URL using links posted on social networks.</li> </ul> <p>Each listed traffic channel can bring results, but its effectiveness often depends on the niche chosen for the business. Therefore, entrepreneurs should focus on several traffic channels best suited to the business niche to achieve maximum traffic results.</p> <h2>Visitor Tracking as Part of Web Analytics</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-300045695" src="https://www.plerdy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Vides-Sessions-2-min-1.jpg" alt="What Is Web Analytics?
