When I first started out online, I used StatCounter. It was free and worked for me in the beginning. The more traffic my sites started to generate, the more options and control I wanted over my site statistics. I came across Google Analytics in a Google search…imagine that! Google Analytics is FREE, easy to setup, and you can manage several website within one account. One of my favorite features is the Site Overlay. This allows you to view where your visitors are clicking on your site. It’s a great way to get an idea of how your site is used and what areas are working the best.

I recommend that every WAHM gives Google Analytics a try. All the features might seem overwhelming at first, but the more and more you learn about it, the more you’ll love it!
