GMail Account Info
All participants will need a gmail account. We will assign the names, so we can keep track of everyone. You can choose the password.
These email addresses are to be shared only with other members of the pilot group (and us!).
You can also show other members of your organization your reports--and its your choice whether or not you want to give them your password.
So far we have Al Rudisil of the Ypsilanti Historical society as: wchc0001@gmail.com
Marcia McCrary and Sharon Brevoort of GSWC as wchch0002@gmail.com
I'd like to encourage you all to use this blog to communicate about the analytics (vs the above email), only because that way everyone will be sharing.
My tip for you all today is to play with the map on the dashboard. Keep clicking it until you get down to the city level in the Ann Arbor/Ypsi area. Try clicking other states, or countries where you see traffic, just for fun.

I found Beth Kantor's screen cast very helpful. Lots of good ideas and support, especially the wiki.
I was amazed to see 189 visits in the first day and a half!
Where can I find an explanation of what % Exit means under content performance?

Marcia,
Right next to the box that says Exit there's a small circle with a question mark. These define what the terms mean. I can't upload a pdf file, so I'll email one to you which shows these circles.
The Exit Rate means the percentage of people exiting, leaving the web
site from this particular page. They could have been on the website for a long time, but this is the page from which they left.
Bounce Rate means they landed on this page, and left without clicking on anything. A high Bounce Rate is much more problematic than a high Exit Rate.
I always think in terms of food, so here I think of the exit rate as where in the course of a meal people leave. Do they leave after appetizers? Or before desert? Is there something you can do to make them stay all the way through desert? Like have desert cart wandering around.
The bounce rate would be somebody walking in, and turning around and walking right out the door. They may have read the menu or not, seen somebody they can't stand--we don't know what makes them come in and then leave.
Where can I find what the language abbreviations mean under Visitors-Languages?
