About Google Analytics
Google has been improving Google Analytics with the goal of making it even easier for anyone to gain the insights they need. Last year, they introduced a fully redesigned mobile app for better insights on the go and have simplified the user interface. It now has a cool feature where you are guided by questions to assist you with managing your traffic. They are also preparing to launch further improvements with Google and Salesforce now working together to connect sales, marketing and advertising data, giving the full view of what’s working across ads, websites, emails, call centers, and more.
Google Analytics (GA) is also offered in two additional versions that are not free: the subscription based Google Analytics 360, targeted at enterprise users and Google Analytics for Mobile Apps. Google launched the service in November 2005 and it is now the most widely used web analytics service on the Internet.
