Open your website and navigate to the source code on the index page. Most sites share this information, but you may need to place the code on multiple pages if not. There are several ways you might access your source code:

HTML Editor – This type of program will show you the webpage in a WYSIWYG environment, so you’ll have to search for a button that says “code” or “source” and switch to that view before you can add the code. The code will start with something like <html>.
FTP – If you know HTML, then you may be the do-it-yourself type who likes to code your webpages and upload them with an FTP tool like CuteFTP or Filezilla. Download the file for the webpage you wish to track and open it in Notepad or other word processing software.
If you don’t have access to your source code, you may need to ask your website provider to alter it for you.

Once you’re in the source code, you need to place the tracking code inside the header. To do this, you must put the code between <head> and </head>. Be sure to place it on a line of its own and not in the middle of other code. HTML code will always close with </command>. So, look for the </> inside the header and place your code there. Save the file and re-upload.

You’ll want to verify that Google is actually tracking your data. It can take up to 24 hours for the information to appear, so in the meantime, get everything set up with your Analytics and explore.

Getting to Know the Dashboard
The Google Analytics dashboard is a hub of information that can either take your azerbaijan whatsapp number database business’s website to the next level, or help you see where it needs improvement.

From the home page, click on the account you’d like to analyze. You’ll see graphs, percentages and pie charts for information such as:

Number of visitors
Percentage visiting the first time versus return visitors
How long the average visitor stayed on your page
What country/language most visitors are from/speak
Conversions
Content
Site speed
Traffic sources

If you have AdSense or other programs set up, you can also track them from this page. The page will default to the last 30 days, but you can use the buttons in the top left corner to narrow it down by month, week, day and even by the hour.

If you wish to compare dates or want to look at more than a single month time range, click on the box in the upper right corner displaying the current date range. You’ll be offered the option for a custom range – plug in your desired dates. Click on the “compare” box and choose a second range of dates to compare two different date ranges.
