Google Analytics: (still working on how to explain this)

1. http://www.google.com/analytics/ Sign up for Google Analytics. Can use existing Google Account to sign in.


To create a profile:
Click Admin in the top right in the menu bar from any Analytics page.

Find the account that contains the property to which you want to add a profile. If you have a lot of accounts or properties, use the drop down search box in the top left of the menu bar.

Click the property to which you want to add a profile.

Click +New Profile.

Select either Web or App.

Enter a name for the profile.
It’s best to be transparent and descriptive so you know what this profile is for.

Select a Reporting Time Zone. Choose a country/territory and standard time zone.


Changing the time zone only affects data going forward, and is not applied retroactively. If you change the time zone for an existing profile, you may see a flat spot or a spike in your data. This may be caused by the time shift forwards or backwards, respectively. Report data may refer to the old time zone for a short period after you update your settings, until our servers have processed the change.
Click Create Profile.

Finding your Amazon Profile and Rank

Your Amazon profile shows you your reviews, blog info, contact info, and a description of yourself. The profile page also shows you your Amazon rank. The higher your rank (below 10k is good), the more companies pitch you for products. Top Reviewer status is a goal. Your rank increases or decreases based on helpful or unhelpful reviews. It also can increase if you include photos and videos. 

To find your Amazon profile: Log into Amazon. Scroll down your where it says (your name) Amazon. Once you click on the link you will see your amazon, your recommendations, and a link for your profile. Click on it and bookmark the page. The url comes in handy for Amazon review sites such as Review Loop, Amazon Review Trader, Uberzon, and even Tomoson.
