Comment on Ask HN: Google Analytics for Startups?parent

Comments

web analytics 2.0 is amazing.

Also watch this (GREAT) talk on the metrics you should be tracking off the bat: http://carsonified.com/blog/business/mike-mcderment-of-fresh...

He suggests that you build an internal tracking system to compliment something like Google Analytics.

Also if there's one thing you learn first in Google analytics, it's "Custom Segments." Build a segment for your paid users or return users vs. new users. USA vs. World. 3:00 on site vs. <1 minute on site. etc. Comparing differences between these groups is invaluable.
