Website Analytics

Learn how to view metrics such as page views and link clicks for all Nelson Institute websites.

Ever wonder how many page views the Nelson Institute website gets in a month? Curious what Google search terms people use to find us? You can find valuable information about how our websites are used by visiting the analytics dashboards for these sites managed by the strategic communications team.

Why is This Information Important?

There's often a disconnect between the content we think is important and what our visitors are actually interested in. Website analytics can tell us what users care about and help us determine where to focus our website content strategy.

What Metrics Are Available?

The dashboard includes high-level data generated from Google Analytics, such as:

  • Page views
  • How users arrive at our sites (referrals)
  • Which browser and type of device visitors are using
  • Google search terms people use to get to our site
  • Internal search terms people use to find content
  • Which links get the most clicks
