00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,860
In this video you're going to learn how to create your first Google Analytics account.

2
00:00:04,900 --> 00:00:05,890
It's free to do it.

3
00:00:05,890 --> 00:00:09,880
It's going to take you less than five minutes and you get started.

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:15,940
You want to go to Google dot com forward slash analytics like put the link to this in the resources

5
00:00:15,940 --> 00:00:20,390
section of the video so you can click right through and be brought to this page.

6
00:00:20,530 --> 00:00:27,390
And once you get here you want to click on sign in on and sign into analytics.

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,230
Now here you will sign in with your Google account if you have one.

8
00:00:31,380 --> 00:00:36,140
And if you don't have one you can go ahead and select the option to create your accounts.

9
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:40,040
I've already got one set up so I'm just going to log in with this.

10
00:00:40,740 --> 00:00:46,990
Once you sign in it's going to show you the three steps to start analyzing your site's traffic.

11
00:00:47,010 --> 00:00:52,440
In this video we're completing step number one which is to sign up for Google Analytics and the next

12
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:58,800
video will do the tracking code so that we can send the information from our Web site back to Google

13
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,630
Analytics.

14
00:00:59,730 --> 00:01:04,130
And then after a few hours we'll be able to see that data about our site.

15
00:01:04,170 --> 00:01:05,640
So those are the three steps.

16
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:13,500
For now we're just completing step number one which is to sign up now in this page we put in some information

17
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,440
about the Web site or app that we're going to be tracking.

18
00:01:17,490 --> 00:01:22,470
Now I'm going to leave this as web site and so we want to come down and the next step is to input the

19
00:01:22,470 --> 00:01:23,870
account name.

20
00:01:23,930 --> 00:01:30,090
And typically this is going to be the name of your business for this example and is going to put this

21
00:01:30,150 --> 00:01:36,750
as analytics demo then we need to put in our Web site name.

22
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:42,670
And again for this example I'm just going to put in analytics demo but for you that might just be the

23
00:01:42,670 --> 00:01:44,360
name of your site.

24
00:01:44,650 --> 00:01:51,160
Now inside Google Analytics and inside your Google Analytics account you can have multiple properties

25
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,590
or web sites that you are tracking.

26
00:01:53,620 --> 00:01:59,380
So it's good if you have different sites to just include that name so it is distinguishable from other

27
00:01:59,380 --> 00:02:01,770
sites he might be tracking next.

28
00:02:01,990 --> 00:02:03,970
You want to put in your web site you are el

29
00:02:07,830 --> 00:02:15,330
and then you want to select your industry category and this is at coolth feature by Google Analytics.

30
00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:22,800
If we select this it's actually going to show reports in Google Analytics by similar Web sites to us

31
00:02:22,890 --> 00:02:30,030
in our industry and create benchmarks for those and through those benchmarks we can really see how our

32
00:02:30,030 --> 00:02:32,410
Web site is performing in that industry.

33
00:02:32,670 --> 00:02:38,700
So I mean to that this is Internet and telecom that you want to set your reporting time zone.

34
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:46,410
And typically this will be in the country where your business is you're setting this up abroad you really

35
00:02:46,410 --> 00:02:51,810
want to set this up in the time zone that you will be reporting on DAY TO DAY.

36
00:02:51,810 --> 00:03:01,470
So I'm going to change this to where I am now which is arland next you can select the data sharing options

37
00:03:01,790 --> 00:03:04,300
I really just wanna leave these as they are.

38
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:12,270
As I mentioned if we share our information with Google Analytics they can share share information from

39
00:03:12,270 --> 00:03:14,690
other sites to give us those benchmarks.

40
00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:21,250
And also it makes it easier for any technical support or specialist support in the future.

41
00:03:21,390 --> 00:03:29,480
Then we want to just hit get tracking ID and now we just need to agree to the terms of service.

42
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:37,190
So like the country that you're in and you can click I accept and just like that we've set up our first

43
00:03:37,190 --> 00:03:38,600
Google Analytics account.

44
00:03:38,750 --> 00:03:40,200
So now it's your turn.

45
00:03:40,250 --> 00:03:46,790
Go ahead to Google dot com forward slash analytics and sign up for your first Google Analytics account.
