Google Analytics
I do not know how many of you are aware of google analytics. It is just one free feature from the Google search engine. Google has MANY free features for business. I can't say how much business, if any you would get from them....but the features are there.
Google Analytics is one feature that you can link to your Etsy shop. It is amazing how many 'hits' you get from Etsy....and now you can know the number!
FIRST you must have a 'Google Account' - which is an email account. Granted, you really don't NEED another email, but you must have one to use Google's many business features.
Sign in to Google. Go to the upper right hand corner MY ACCOUNT, from there, under 'My Products', go to the first option, ANALYTICS
Go to Add Website Profile, meanwhile...on another tab go to Etsy:
ON ETSY - Sign in to your shop, go to Web Analytics (under Shop Setup), they give you detailed instructions on what to do through the entire process.
Remember to SAVE everything. Google gives you ALOT of information. They show what item was clicked on, where the hit came from.....oodles and toodles of knowledge!
You can add any website you have on analytics, but you must have some knowledge of HTML (yuck).
I hope this helps everyone. I will continue to look for fun and wonderful (and free) marketing ideas. If anyone has any ideas, please let us know!

My SoapyBlessings etsy shop site is on Google Analytics too. I haven't paid much attention to the analytics thing until yesterday, when I clicked on it. WOW! Google gave me a TON of information about how folks got to my shop site, where they came from, how long they stayed, how many return customers vs first timers etc. And there was a whole bunch of info that didn't make any sense to me too. I guess I just don't know all the lingo associated with it. One thing I was really amazed at was how many people came to my site through blogger. It was an astounding number, at least this month anyway. That told me that I should be paying more attention to my blog site than I have been and to connect with other blogs.
Google analytics was my "new thing I learned more about" yesterday, that's for sure.
