Numbers can be scary, and they vary from company to company. You know what you want or need to track. If you can, I think it's important to build a system that works for you because if it's not something you'll use, it's worthless. Spreadsheets and numbers scare me, but we've created a stats Dashboard that is completely approachable and not at all intimidating. I didn't think I would use it as much as I am, but it is literally something I check countless times (both in the office and from home). That's a signal of value. It's something we use, something we needed and something I'm so glad we have now. bk I think it’s also important to mention here that you should make your analytics yours.
