Just Announced! Google Analytics Webinar

Are you excited by the possibilities of Google Analytics (GA), but intimidated by its graphs and charts? Then save the date: On April 7, the weekly IndieCommerce webinar, hosted by our very own Matt Supko, will consist of a detailed tour of GA, including how to identify where traffic is coming from; which pages on your site are most popular; and what kind of devices your customers are using to view your website. Additionally, the webinar will cover how to investigate which traffic sources are delivering sales and which aren’t. Valuable insights are only a few clicks away.

Please sign up today for the Google Analytics Webinar. Space is limited.

There will be no open session this week (3/28) or next week (4/4) due to the Google Analytics webinars.
