Web Analytics Education: Understanding Async

We created a series to teach you about the best free tool (and in my opinion the best tool, period) for web analytics: Google Analytics.

Last episode covered tagging the pages with Async code and the previous one was on how to create an account. Today we explain the Google Analytics Async code.

Introducing our newest team member, Bill Covington. A true computer veteran of almost 20 years, Bill started working in technology while in the military. Today he manages a corporate help desk and provides professional consulting to a wide range of clients.

Bill is a natural-born trainer. We think he was probably destined to be a teacher and we’re lucky that he put those skills to work in the technology field. He’s one of those “glass is half full” kind of guys and approaches his instruction so that it is a positive / effective experience. This used to be done in a classroom environment, but is not longer restricted to that medium. Bill now creates training videos (narrated & highlighted / interactive) and these are incorporated into CMS training sites as well as posted on the internet.
