Ask HN: What is the point of Google Analytics

3 pointsby dakrishtalmost 10 years ago
If you can&#x27;t see where the majority of your organic search traffic is coming from (&gt;90%) because Google marks the most searched terms as (not provided)?<p>I&#x27;ve tried workarounds tirelessly to no avail and really don&#x27;t understand what the point of GA is. Unless I&#x27;m in the idiot and doing something wrong.

Organic search results are not the only interesting metrics you&#x27;d want to know as a website owner or administrator. Google Webmaster Tools shows far more interesting metrics on organic results these Days. Try combining the two.

The point is for Google to help you a little collecting data you already have, in exchange of getting lots of days they wouldn&#x27;t have another way
