[GET] G00gle Analytics Guide: Resource Guide of Epic Proportions

[Razmataz13]

Hey Members. As you can see by my shares It isn't even half way through January and already I'm pushing myself into the more technical aspects of IM. This guide claims to be the most in-depth g00gle analytics guide (per say the title). I use GA on most of my sites and am constantly learning to read into more of the detailed info/feedback, especially during churn and burn assault campaigns. For some members this is not worth your time for others it could be golden info. Listed below are the contents to help you decide. Hoping I presented this clearly for even though it is only 13 pages its information density is strong.
