- Find how many people are viewing specific pages, such as product or contact pages

- Identifying where your customers are coming from

Here are some quick tips for using Analytics to track your web customer's habits:

1. Load the Analytics code on the home page of your site, to track general web visitors.
2. Additionally, add code to each page that your company would like to see visitors come to, such as a specific product page.
3. Add code to your contact form, to track how many people are signing up for more information, vs. how many are leaving before offering their contact info.
4. As the video stated, write down 2-3 goals before checking your stats, so you know exactly what type of information your are searching for.
5. Check your stats at least once a week to detect trends and changes in web visits.
6. Set goals based on your weekly or monthly stats (new customers, signups or purchases).
7. Change the layout of your website often, to always keep your content fresh for visitors.
