Google analytics

To obtain the statistics of ForeCiteNote's traffic, I use Google Analytics(GA) - a free web tracking service offered by Google. In short, GA helps you to know how visitors find your page, how they interact with it and from that information, you may enhance your page to meet the users' need.

You can incorporate GA into your website in 4 simple steps . First of all, you need a Google Account to login to GA. Next, you enter the name of your site and its URL. Then, GA asks you to copy the tracking code which is a javascript snippet into every webpage you want to track immediately before the </body> tag . Finally, check the status of your tracking code to see if it's been successfully installed in your webpage. Note that you may need to wait a day before you can get any data from GA.
