Getting Started with Google Analytics - Basic Terms

Google Analytics is a freemium web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic.

There a few terms you should know about Google Analytics. You’ll see them often in your Google Analytics data, and you’ll use them when you need.

Dimensions—A dimension is a descriptive attribute or characteristic of an object that can be given different values. Browser, Exit Page, Screens and Session Duration are all examples of dimensions that appear by default in Google Analytics.

Metrics—Metrics are individual elements of a dimension that can be measured as a sum or a ratio. Screenviews, Pages/Session and Average Session Duration are examples of metrics in Google Analytics.
