			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.google.com/analytics/">Google Analytics</a> is currently my favorite web analysis tool. If you not familiar with it yet, I recommend to check it out.</p>
<p>In order to learn more about it, you can go to YouTube and watch a couple of the video tutorials. To start, Google has a great introduction for getting familiar with the interface of Google Analytics:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rHeKRvo6OhI&#038;fs=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rHeKRvo6OhI&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>Great additional tips, info and add-ons:</p>
<p>- There is a great <a href="http://killfile.newsvine.com/_news/2007/10/29/1056742-a-google-analytics-primer">primer on Newsvine</a> how you can set it up in three steps.</p>
<p>- In a great post on Top Rank Blog Thomas McMahon highlights <a href="http://www.toprankblog.com/2008/02/5-google-analytics-features/">five lesser know Google Analytics features</a>.</p>
<p>- Daily Blog Tip mentions <a href="http://www.dailyblogtips.com/top-5-google-analytics-reports-for-bloggers/">5 great Google Analytics reports for bloggers</a>.</p>
<p>- Wilson Web lists <a href="http://www.wilsonweb.com/analytics/steif-google-analytics.htm">10 tips for getting better data from Google Analytics</a>.</p>
<p>- In case you have an online business, I recommend to read the post &#8220;<a href="http://www.epikone.com/blog/2008/01/13/google-analytics-e-commerce-tracking-pt-1-how-it-works/">Google Analytics E-Commerce Tracking: Installation and Setup&#8221;</a> by Analytics Talk.</p>

<p>- Needless to say that it&#8217;s always worth to check out the <a href="http://analytics.blogspot.com/">Google Analytics blog</a> for news and updates.</p>
<p>- For all the <a href="http://www.wordpress.org">Wordpress</a> bloggers: I recommend to install the <a href="http://www.semiologic.com/software/marketing/google-analytics/">Google Analytics plugin for Wordpress</a>. Its interface is very nice, and the fine grained stats and AdSense integration make it a particularly powerful tool.</p>
