OK, I know this may sound obvious to some, but I just ran across yet another prospective client who does not have analytics (or at least access to analytics) on his Web site.  Just want to post a quick solution to that incredibly critical issue.  Not going to rant about why it’s so critical, just going to say three things:

1. It’s free.
2. It’s comprehensive.
3. It takes 5 minutes to install.

Yes, it takes a few more minutes to set up a funnel for e-commerce (a necessity if you are trying to get someone through an enrollment process).  But the main thing is knowing

• where your traffic is coming from,
• where they are going on the site,
• where they are leaving,
• how long are they staying,
• and what are the month-to-month trends

on those data-points.

Check your analytics often, especially as you try new marketing campaigns, add new pages, new content, etc.

Oh yeah, also add ShareThis to your site and test viral marketing – very interesting.
