Digital Marketing Tip #4: If you have NOT installed the free Google Analytics application on your Web properties, STOP EVERYTHING AND DO IT IMMEDIATELY.
Why? Because if you don’t know your Web site’s baseline analytics (visits, visitors, traffic sources, keyword search phrases and much more) how will you ever know if your Internet Marketing efforts are helping to improve your site’s online presence?
