Creating a Website Profile in Google Analytics
In order to use Google Analytics, you need to first create an account and add a Website Profile. As I posted about recently Google Analytics needs a few things to work correctly that include…
- Your Website
- A Google Analytics Account
- Setting up a Website Profile in Google Analytics
- Installing a Google Analytics Tracking Code into your Website
Creating a Website Profile in Google Analytics is really simple to setup.
- Log into your GA account
- You will look on the Analytics settings page (Hint: it’s the page you are brought to when you first sign in)
- Go to the “website profile” area of the site you want to install Google Analytics tracking on (if this is your first time logging into Google Analytics you’ll need to setup a profile for the site you want Google analytics running on)
- Click on the “Add Website Profile” link below the “Website Profile” area
- You will be brought to the “Create New Website Profile” page where you choose whether or not it’s a new domain (for the purposes of this article go with new) by selecting “Add a Profile for a new domain” or “Add a Profile for an existing domain”, then the web address of the website you want to add and the time zone you want the site recognized as by Google Analytics when its tracking.
Like the last Google Analytics article you will be brought to the Tracking Code page where you will then install the Google Analytics Tracking Code and click “Finish“. If this is your first time creating a Website Profile then it will take some time to activate the tracking code after you install it on your website. Hope you enjoyed the article and post any comments or questions you may have about Google Analytics.
