1. Log in to Google Analytics. On the right hand side of the page, you can log in using your Google account information. This could be the same information you use for your Google AdSense and other accounts, or you could set up a new account strictly for the Analytics site.
2. Choose the website that you want to review. In the top section of the Analytics website, you'll find a drop-down box with all your sites listed. If you have only one site, that site automatically shows up for you. Click on the 'View reports' text right next to the site to access the Google Analytics dashboard.
3. Check out the snapshot of how your site is doing. The Google Analytics dashboard is designed to give you a quick overview of the current statistics on your site. You can see data about the number of visits, page views and average pages seen per visit, bounce rate, average time on site as well as the number of new visitors this month. Scrolling down, you can see where the majority of your visitors come from as well as where the traffic is coming from.
