  "One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple." --Jack Kerouac , The Dharma Bums One of my first champion Golden Retrievers was named Matigan Dharma Bum. I think I've always been a fan of Jack Kerouac and romance of the Beat Generation. The poetry. The creativity. The freedom.

The data supplied from Google Analytics can help you to learn what is working and what is not thus it helps you make better decisions about your online presence.   What exactly does Analytics do? In short, it collects data, processes and analyzes the data, and generates reports from the data. Google Analytics records the activity of your user from the moment he arrives until he leaves your website by u sing a combination of cookies and JavaScript.    Out of all the data and reports generated by Google Analytics, the following are what I feel are most important to Trident Pacific Consulting. I can't figure out how to install it on his Word Press site yet, so the screen captures I included are from my class Blogger site.   Acquisition   The Acquisition section tells you where you
