Of course, most website analytics tools will give this information to you anyway, but if the tool you use doesn't have this feature, then it's always nice to get it for free from Google. But the best part of the Sitemaps program is ... If you already have a Gmail, Adsense, or Adwords account, then you are all set. If not, you can register an account by visiting the Google Accounts page (https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount). Building your sitemap file is pretty easy ...
Google Analytics | E-Commerce Transactions And Tracking
Enable your e-commerce transaction tracking
With some simple additions to your receipt page, Google Analytics can automatically detect and record transaction and product information. The required information is placed into an invisible form which is parsed for transaction and product information.

You will also need, to enable e-commerce reporting for your website's profile:
1. From the Analytics Settings page, click Edit next to the profile you would like to enable.
2. Click Edit from the Main Website Profile Information box
3. Change the E-commerce Website radio button from No to Yes.
Filling the required information

Google Analytics - Making Filters And Granting Access
Making Filters
Google Analytics filters principal target is include, exclude, or change the representation of certain information in a report.
Filters are not must requirement. But using them will help you define what data you see and how you see it. Since filters affect the way data is displayed in your reports, it is important to get them set up as soon as possible. Filters added after your account begins collecting data will not affect your old data.
Why you want to create filters because:
1. you want to see reports for a certain subdomain or subdirectory only
2. you would like to exclude traffic from certain people or places
3. your dynamic parameters would be more easily readable as descriptive text strings
There are a number of other reasons that you may want filters, but if none of these apply to you, you can safely ignore and go ahead.
A filter consists of;
- The name of the filter
- The type of filter you would like to implement
- The filter field that is affected.
More Information About These Fields >>
The filter pattern is the string that will be matched against the filter field. This field uses regular expressions, a special syntax that uses wildcards and text strings for matching.
More Instructions >>
To make a filter:
1. Click the Filter Manager link from the Analytics Settings page.
2. Click Add Filter.
Filter Types
Google Analytics provides main three predefined filters, useful for common tasks, as well as a number of custom filters.
Predefined filters;
1. Exclude all clicks from a domain (hostname): use this filter to exclude clicks that originate from a specific network, such as your internal work network.
2. Exclude all clicks from an IP address: this filter works to exclude clicks from certain sources. You can enter a single IP address, or a range of addresses
3. Include only traffic from a subdirectory: use this filter if you want a profile to report only on a particular subdirectory (such as www.yoursite.com/motorcycles)
Custom filters:
- Exclude Pattern: This type of filter excludes log file lines (hits) that match the Filter Pattern. Matching lines are ignored in their entirety; for example, a filter that excludes Netscape will also exclude all other information in that log line, such as visitor, path, referral, and domain information.
- Include Pattern: This type of filter includes log file lines (hits) that match the Filter Pattern. All non-matching hits will be ignored and any data in non-matching hits is unavailable to the Urchin reports.
- Search & Replace: This is a simple filter that can be used to search for a pattern within a field and replace the found pattern with an alternate form.
- Lookup Table: Selecting this filter allows you to select a lookup table name which may be used to map codes to human intelligible labels. For example, the phone models table maps abbreviated phone platform identifiers to the model and manufacturer names for phone based web browsers.
- Advanced: This type of filter allows you to build a field from one or two other fields. The filtering engine will apply the expressions in the two Extract fields to the specified fields and then construct a field using the Constructor expression. Read the Advanced Filters article for more information.
- Uppercase / Lowercase: Converts the contents of the field into all uppercase or all lowercase characters. These filters only affect letters, and will not affect characters or numbers.
Common uses
This Report traffic to a subdomain only.
If you have your tracking code on your entire domain, but would like to view reports about a particular subdomain on their own, you can create a filter to include only traffic to your subdomain.
Filter Type: Custom filter > Include
Filter Field: Hostname
Filter Pattern: subdomain\.yoursite\.com
Case Sensitive: No
This will exclude all traffic that is not on the domain subdomain.yoursite.com.
Exclude internal IP addresses - If you'd like to exclude traffic from internal IP addresses, so that your own visits and those of your employees don't show up in your reports, enter your IP address in the filter below. You can also filter out a range of addresses, as in the second example. Remember to use regular expressions in the IP Address field.
Filter Type: Exclude all traffic from an IP address
IP Address: 99\.999\.999\.9
Or, to filter a range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.125:
Filter Type: Exclude all traffic from an IP address
IP Address: ^192\.168\.1\.([1-9]|[1-9][0-9 ]|1[01][0-9]|12[0-5])$

Google Analytics - URL Builder And Link Tagging
Making Tags to your online ads is an important prerequisite to allowing Google Analytics to show you which marketing activities are really paying off. Fortunately, the tagging process goes smoothly - once you understand how to differentiate your campaigns. Here is a three-step process to help you get started.
1. Tag only what you must to.
If your Google Analytics account is linked to an active Google AdWords account and you have auto-tagging enabled, you don't need to tag your AdWords URLs. Google Analytics will automatically track all of your AdWords campaigns. You'll still need to tag all of your non-AdWords paid keyword links, though, as well as your banners and other ads, and the links inside your promotional e-mail messages.
There are certain links that you don't need to tag, and many times will not be able to tag. You should not attempt to tag organic (unpaid) keyword links from search engines and it isn't necessary to tag links that come from referral sites, such as portals and affiliate sites. Google Analytics automatically detects the name of the search engine and the keyword from organic (unpaid) keyword referrals, and you'll see metrics for these referrals in your reports, typically under "Organic" listings. Google Analytics also detects referrals from other websites and displays them in your reports, whether or not you have tagged them. And again, you don't need to tag your AdWords URLs if your Analytics and AdWords accounts are linked.
2. Make your links using the URL Builder.
Campaign links consist of a URL address followed by a question mark and your campaign variables. But, you won't need to worry about link syntax if you fill out the URL Builder form and press the Generate URL button. A tagged link will be generated for you and you'll be able to copy and paste it to your ad. If you're wondering which fields to fill in, you're ready for Step 3.
3. Make only the campaign variables you need.
Google Analytics' link tagging capabilities allow you to uniquely identify virtually any campaign you can think of. But, don't think that you must use all six fields in the URL Builder form in each of your links. On the contrary, you'll usually only need to use Source, Medium, Name, and Term (for paid keywords).
Read this table contents carefully. It shows you how to tag the three most common kinds of online campaigns - banner ads, email campaigns, and paid keywords.

Google Analytics - Tag Advertising Campaigns
Notice For AdWords Users:
If you are going for only tracking AdWords campaigns, you may ignore this step. Once you have linked your AdWords and Analytics accounts, AdWords keywords are automatically tagged with the required tracking criterias.
Tagging your online ads is an important prerequisite to allowing Google Analytics to show you which marketing activities are really paying off. Tagging involves inserting and defining specific variables into the links that lead to your website.
In Generally you need to tag all of your paid keyword links, your banners and other ads, and the links inside your promotional email messages, except those in Google AdWords, which are automatically tagged. Fortunately, the tagging process goes smoothly once you understand how to differentiate your campaigns.

Google Analytics - Tacking PDF,AVI, WMV Files In Download Section
Tracking PDF,AVI, WMV etc.. is very important in this regards. That is major point to the website money making efforts. Mostly those files are located in your website's download section.
Lets see how we doing this task.
Your Google Analytics Master provides an easy way to track clicks on links that lead to file downloads. Because these links do not lead to a page on your site containing the tracking code, you'll need to tag the link itself with the _trackPageview() JavaScript if you would like to track these downloads.
This piece of JavaScript assigns a pageview to any click on a link - the pageview is attributed to the filename you specify.

This piece of JavaScript assigns a pageview to any click on a link - the pageview is attributed to the filename you specify.
To log every click on a particular link to www.yoursite.com/files/map.pdf as a pageview for /downloads/map you would add the following attribute to the link's <> tag:
< href=" http://www.example.com/files/map.pdf " onclick= "javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview ( ' /downloads/map ' ); ">
Important:
1. Please remove the all spaces in codes before you use.
2. If your pages include a call to _trackPageview, _setAllowLinker _trackTrans(), your Analytics tracking code must be placed in your HTML code above any of these calls. In these cases the tracking code can be placed anywhere between the opening <> tag and the JavaScript call.
To verify that _trackPageviewis being called correctly, you can check your Top Content report 24-48 hours after the updated tracking code has been executed. You should be able to see the assigned PageName in your report.

Google Analytics - Manual Process Of "Track Clicks On Outbound links"
You can definitely use Google Analytics to track clicks, on links that lead away from your site.
Why because links that lead away from your site are not automatically tracked, you will need to manually tag all outbound links you want to track.
To do this task, you'll add some JavaScript customizations to your page and to the links you want to track.
Why because links that lead away from your site are not automatically tracked, you will need to manually tag all outbound links you want to track.
To do this task, you'll add some JavaScript customizations to your page and to the links you want to track.
1. Set up Event Tracking in your Analytics Tracking code.
This is a very simple matter of adding the following line to the tracking code for your pages after the page tracking object is set up:
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(' UA-XXXXX-X ');
pageTracker._trackPageview( ) ;
2. Add a JavaScript method in the head of your document to delay the outbound click by a fraction of a second.
This delay will hardly be noticeable by the user, but it will provide the browser more time load the tracking code. Without this method, it's possible that a user can click on the outbound link before the tracking code loads, in which case the event will not be recorded. Here's what theJavaScript code in the <> section should look like (assuming you will use your own tracking code ID);
< type="text/javascript">
function recordOutboundLink(link, category, action) {
try {
var pageTracker=_gat._getTracker(" UA-XXXXX-X ");
pageTracker._trackEvent(category, action);
setTimeout('document.location = "' + link.href + ' " ', 100 )
}catch(err){ }
}
< /script >
3. Update your outbound links to call the new function without first following the link.
For an example, to log every click on a particular link to www.mysite.com, you would use the _trackEvent( ) method in the link's <> tag:
< href=" http://www.example.com " onclick="recordOutboundLink(this, 'Outbound Links', ' example.com ') ; return false; ">
For an example, to log every click on a particular link to www.mysite.com, you would use the _trackEvent( ) method in the link's <> tag:
< href=" http://www.example.com " onclick="recordOutboundLink(this, 'Outbound Links', ' example.com ') ; return false; ">
The example above uses the category label Outbound Links. This is a useful way to categorize all outbound links in the Event Tracking reports. It sets the specific name of the website as the second parameter in the call. With this structure in place, you could then see Outbound Links as one of the event categories and drill down to see which particular outbound links are the most popular. Be sure to use return false for the onClick handler, because without that statement the browser will follow the link before the RecordOutboundLink method has a chance to execute.
Important Notice;
Ignore all the spaces indicated in the codes for use.
Google Analytics - Track Each Steps
May be you are in confusion regarding this;
The URLs for each step in my Defined Funnel Paths are identical. How can I track each step as if it were a unique URL?
You may love to track visitors' progress, through a funnel which has the same URL for each step.
You may love to track visitors' progress, through a funnel which has the same URL for each step.
Follow this simple example, your sign up funnel might look like this;
Step 1 (Sign Up) - www.yoursite.com/sign_up.cgi
Step 2 (Accept Agreement) - www.yoursite.com/sign_up.cgi
Step 3 (Finish) - www.yoursite.com/sign_up.cgi
To get around this, you can call the _trackPageview function within each step (probably within an onload event), as follows:
pageTracker._trackPageview ( " /funnel_G1/step1.html " )
pageTracker._trackPageview ( " /funnel_G1/step2.html " )
pageTracker._trackPageview ( " /funnel_G1/step3.html " )
Now, set up each step of your funnel to be:
http://www.yoursite.com/funnel_G1/step1.html
http://www.yoursite.com/funnel_G1/step2.html
http://www.yoursite.com/funnel_G1/step3.html
Please mention that the path/filename argument need not represent an existing path or filename. The argument to _trackPageview simply provides a made-up pagename to which Google Analytics can attach pageviews.
Important Note
1. Please ignore the spaces in codes.
2.Please note that your analytics tracking code and calls to _gat._getTracker must be placed on the page above the call to _trackPageview.
2.Please note that your analytics tracking code and calls to _gat._getTracker must be placed on the page above the call to _trackPageview.
< src=" https://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js " type= " text/javascript ">
< /script >
< type=" text/javascript ">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker (" UA-xxxxxx-x ") ;
pageTracker._trackPageview() ;
< /script >
To get confirm that _trackPageview is being called correctly, you can check your Top Content report 24-48 hours after the updated tracking code has been executed. You should be able to see the assigned PageName in your report.
Goals And Funnels Setup For Dynamically Generated Pages
Dynamic URLs
When URLs are keywords or other parameters, you can use the corresponding options when entering funnel or conversion goal URL’s addresses. There are three types available, as showing below.
Exact Match
This option requires that the URLs entered as your funnel or conversion goal match the URLs shown in the reports exactly - there can be no dynamic session identifiers, for example.
Head Match
If your URL is always the same for this step of your funnel, but is followed by unique session or user identifiers, use the Head Match filter and leave out the unique values.
For example, if the URL for a particular user is;
' www.yoursite.com/checkout.cgi?page=1&id=9982251615 ' but the ' id ' varies for every other user, enter 'www.yoursite.com/checkout.cgi?page=1 ' and select Head Match as your Match Type.
Regular Expression Match
Uses regular expressions to match your URLs. This is useful when the stem, trailing parameters, or both can vary between users. For example, if a user could be coming from one of many subdomains, and your URLs use session identifiers, use regular expressions to define the constant element of your URL.
For example,
Identical URLs Across Multiple Steps
You may also wish to track visitors' progress through a funnel which has the same URL for each step.
For example, your sign up funnel might look like this;
Step 1 (Sign Up): www.yoursite.com/sign_up.cgi
Step 2 (Accept Agreement): www.yoursite.com/sign_up.cgi
Step 3 (Finish): www.yoursite.com/sign_up.cgi
To get around this, you can call the _trackPageview function within each step (probably within an onload event), as shown below.
Then set up each step of your funnel to be;
http://www.yoursite.com/funnel_G1/step1.html
http://www.yoursite.com/funnel_G1/step2.html
http://www.yoursite.com/funnel_G1/step3.html
The path/filename argument need not represent an existing path or filename. The argument to _trackPageview simply provides a made-up pagename to which Google Analytics can attach pageviews.
Important Note:
1. Please ignore the spaces between codes.
2. If your pages include a call to _trackPageview, _setAllowLinker _trackTrans(), your Analytics tracking code must be placed in your HTML code above any of these calls. In these cases the tracking code can be placed anywhere between the opening tag and the JavaScript call.

For example, if a user could be coming from one of many subdomains, and your URLs use session identifiers, use regular expressions to define the constant element of your URL.
For example,
' page=1 ' will match
' making.example.com/checkout.cgi?page=1&id=002, ' as well as
' marketing.example.com/checkout.cgi?page=1&language=fr&id=19. '
' making.example.com/checkout.cgi?page=1&id=002, ' as well as
' marketing.example.com/checkout.cgi?page=1&language=fr&id=19. '
Identical URLs Across Multiple Steps
You may also wish to track visitors' progress through a funnel which has the same URL for each step.
For example, your sign up funnel might look like this;
Step 1 (Sign Up): www.yoursite.com/sign_up.cgi
Step 2 (Accept Agreement): www.yoursite.com/sign_up.cgi
Step 3 (Finish): www.yoursite.com/sign_up.cgi
To get around this, you can call the _trackPageview function within each step (probably within an onload event), as shown below.
pageTracker._trackPageview(" /funnel_G1/step1.html "); pageTracker._trackPageview(" /funnel_G1/step2.html "); pageTracker._trackPageview(" /funnel_G1/step3.html ");
Then set up each step of your funnel to be;
http://www.yoursite.com/funnel_G1/step1.html
http://www.yoursite.com/funnel_G1/step2.html

Google Analytics - AdWords Accounts,Goals And Sequences
Link With Your AdWords Account
For advertisers, AdWords, Google Analytics can currently cost data from AdWords campaigns. To link your AdWords and Analytics accounts, log in to your AdWords account and follow the instructions after clicking on the button"Google Analytics"on the Reports tab.
Create Goals And Sequences
If your site is designed to attract visitors to a page, for example, buy-side or electronic application, you can track the number of successful conversions using goals and funnels in Google Analytics.
The aim of the page the user of the website after he or she made a purchase or other desired action, such as a registration or download.
A funnel represents the path, the visitor must pass to reach the goal. Defining these pages you can see how frequently visitors leave the target (and where they go instead) and the utility of the goal.
Each profile can have up to four goals with a specific sequence for each. To determine the objectives and process:
Enter The Objectives.
1. From Google Analytics Settings page, find the profile for which you will be creating goals and click Edit.
2. Select one of the 4 goal slots available for that profile and click Edit.
3. Enter URL target. The realization of this Web site constitutes a successful implementation.

WebSite Content And Usage Of Google Adword Keyword Tool
Website Content is the main key of your AdSense Earnings. You have to decide what is the most suitable keywords for your website very first.
How you decide the Website Content.
First you decide few Website Content subject vise.
That is not enough for better selection of your website content.
We have few free and more useful tools in the web to select the best website keywords.
Google Adwords Keyword Tool is one of best key word selection tool of them.
This is very important when you are writing your articles to the website. It can make all the difference in the amount and quality of the visitors you receive to view your article. I am going to take you through a step-by-step process, that I actually used, to research one of my articles using the Google Adword Keyword Tool.
Let’s see how we use the Google Adword Keyword Tool.
1. Open another tab on your browser and go to Google Adword Keyword Tool.
The Link to the Google Adwords Keyword Tool :
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
You can read this article and following these instructions on the Google Adword Keyword Tool on the other tab.
2. Conduct a search for keywords having to do invite for Online Dating. Type in the words "Online Dating Invitation" in the Keyword Box. Enter the security word (you will have to do this occasionally if your session times out). Click on "Get Keyword Ideas"
3. Look at the first item in the table that appears. It is the words " Online Dating Invitation ", in the first column. The second column shows the amount of advertisers competition for those words. The third column has November's search volume. The fourth column is the Average search volume for a 12 month period. That means that 27,000 people are looking for those words every month. That's a pretty good number.
4. Learn a trick that will help you earn more when those visitors come to view your article. Your ads need to be appropriate to the content of your article. You want ads that pay the best price for the keywordes you are using. To determing that, go to that little box above the table that says "Choose Columns to Display"? Click on the arrow and it will show you a list of columns that can also be included on your table
5. CLICK ON "Show Estimated Avg CPC". That will bring up a column that shows money amounts. CPC is Cost Per Click. That is the amount of money an advertiser is paying for those keywords. Think of it as renting space on your article page for advertising. See the number that came up with my search words? The advertisers are only paying .05 cents per click. That's terrible. I don't want that! I want a higher paying CPC. What can I do?
6. Find related words. Looking down the list of other suggested keywords and phrases, you will see that none of them are paying very well. Let's think of other words to use that would mean the same thing as " Online Dating Invitation ". Let's try, "Online Adventures" Put "Online Adventures " in the keyword search box and click "Get Keyword Ideas". What comes up now? Nothing for my exact words, but look below at "Additional Keywords to Consider". Wow, some of those are paying much better. How can I adjust my keywords to take advantage of those higher paying ads?
7. Click on the Heading of the column "Estimated Avg CPC". It will order everything from lowest paid to highest paid. Click on it again and it will reverse the order.
8 . Analyze the words. Since the words " Online Adventures " didn't work good, but Sorry seems to be a good word, Let's try a new keyword search. Type in "Online Marketing", and do a new search. BINGO! The CPC still isn't great money, but it's better AND it has more searchers. There is debate about what volume of searchers is optimal. Many believe that the lower the volume, the more targeted your audience is, and the better that is for you. Since I first wrote this article, I tend to be in that crowd. Larger search volume usually means that your article will get lost in millions of other pages on the web that cover that same subject. I go for search volumes of under 35,000 now.
9. Consider Advertiser competition. If the competition for your chosen keyword phrase is high, your ads should stay relevant all the time. If the competition is low, that you may find weird ads on your page at the end of the month, quarter, or year. Advertisers often budget and put an automatic stop when they have reached their stop point. Those ads will drop off of the page and may be replaced with completely unrelated ads that don't help you at all.
I believe now you all have the better knowledge to chose the website content keywords using with the Google Adword Keyword Tool.
