Need Analytics help?

Since we last posted about Google Analytics, we've gradually been sending out invites to more and more AdWords advertisers. A growing number of you have access to this service, and Christine, from the Analytics team, has some info to share:

Once you have an awesome web analytics service like Google Analytics, the next thing you'll want is a community where you can get answers and help out fellow Analytics users -- 24/7. We heard from our friends over in AdWords about how helpful their online forum AdWords Help has been to advertisers, so we followed suit and built our own forum called Analytics Help.

Powered by Google Groups, Analytics Help is a place where you can discuss Google Analytics with other users. Our vision for this forum is for it to become a resourceful, diverse community where you can post questions, share knowledge and best practices, and meet other Analytics users. And when we say diverse, we mean it! Beginner or expert, AdWords advertiser or not, webmaster or marketer, you'll be able to communicate with Analytics users all over the world. In other words, you're in good company when you visit the forum.

So on that note, we'd like to invite you to stop by and check it out. So far, membership is at 1619 and growing. We hope you'll make it 1620. ;-)

In addition to the forum, the Analytics Help Center is also a helpful resource for getting answers to frequently asked questions, how-to articles, troubleshooting instructions, and more. You may notice forum members referencing the Help Center in their posts from time to time. Also, to find out what industry experts recommend to optimize your marketing efforts and site content, take a seat at Conversion University, where you can learn more about driving traffic to your site and converting visitors into customers.

If you're interested in using Google Analytics but haven't yet signed up to be notified when new accounts become available, you can do so here.
