Do you have a website you’re thinking about building? Want suggestions on how to make your site better? Stumped on a technical project? Have a web related question? Want to hear what questions other people are asking?

Bring your questions and ideas to the next meetup because we’ll be giving our free professional (and personal) advise. We’ll answer questions, give pointers, and get feedback from the rest of the group. We’ll try to give 10-15 minutes per question to get through as many as we can. Any web related (or technology related) question is welcome!

Even if you’re not asking a question make sure you join because it’s a great opportunity to hear website tips, design tricks, suggestions and expand your thinking.

Workshop: Using Google Analytics

John Ford Jun 4, 2007

Google Analytics Dashboard The June Triad Web Meetup is going to be about using the new Google Analytics interface. Google Analytics is a free tool which provides you with reports about your website visitors. How many visitors you get, where they came from, what pages they look at, keywords they used to find your site and much more. It’s an extremely valuable tool to measure the effectiveness of your website and learn how to make it better.

Google released a completely revamped interface to their analytics tool in May 2007. We’ll go through setting up the analytics tool for your website and how to get the most out of the reports.
