Configure Your Profile

•

Enter your Profile Name

•

Enter your Website URL

•

In the Default page field, enter your homepage URL.

•

Setting this to your homepage, or index, of your site allows Google
Analytics to reconcile log entries for www.yoursite.com and
www.yoursite.com/index, for example. These are in fact the same page,
but are reported as two distinct pages until the Default page setting has
been configured.

If you have a shopping cart on your site, or offer shopping to your visitors, you’ll

want to enable e-commerce for Analytics. To enable e-commerce reporting and

the E-Commerce Analysis report set, select Yes. There will be more details

about e-commerce later on in the guide.

At this point, click Save Changes to continue configuring your profile.
