This video discusses the basics of both Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics event tracking, and how you can integrate the two. Eric Fetman: Hi! I’m Eric Fetman, Analytics Trainer and Coach at E Norm, with a guest video for KISSmetrics. Google Tag Manager is designed to minimize our dependency on web developers for adding marketing and analytics code to our websites.

So if anyone ever asks you to specify what constitutes a good CTR, here are 11 points to consider: 1. How long-tail is the keyword – longer tailed keywords generally have greater opportunity for tailored ads and generally receive a higher CTR. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.
