Google Tag Manager
In order to measure what is happening on your website on a technical level, you have to install a series of tags or code snippets. In the past, this process could be very complex and required specialized technical help. But thanks to Google Tag Manager, managing tags on your website is now easier than ever.
What is it?
Google offers paid advertisements which appear in search results on google.com with the use of Google Ads or advertisements that appear on other websites through the Display Network and Google’s AdSense program.
The sponsored results, or ads, are denoted with an “Ad” label. There are two sections of paid Google ads, one above the “natural” or organic results and one at the bottom of the results page.
Google also offers Display Ads, which appear on the Google Display Network. The Display Network is an extensive collection of outside, third-party websites that have partnered with Google and agreed to serve Google ads. Google ads on the Display Network can be in text, image, video, or rich media format, and can be targeted differently. This includes remarketing and banner ads.
How it works?
The Google Ads auction is focused around keywords. Advertisers choose a list of keywords to target that are relevant to their business offerings; the words that people are most likely to use when searching for their product. They then bid on these keywords, basing each bid on how much they are willing to pay for a Google user to click on their ad.
This bid, combined with a Quality Score assigned by Google based on the quality of your proposed ad, determines which Google ads appear on the SERP. When users click the ads, the advertiser pays a certain cost (the cost per click, or CPC). This is where the term Pay-Per-Click (PPC) originates.

What is it?
Google Analytics is a web analytics service that provides statistics and basic analytical tools for seragc engine optimization (SEO) and marketing purposes.
Google Analytics is used to track website performance and collect visitor insights. It can help organizations determine top sources of use for traffic, gauge the success of their marketing activities and campaigns, track goal completions (such as purchases), identify patterns and trends in user engagement and obtain other visitor information.
How does it work?
Google Analytics acquires user data from each website visitor through the use of Javascript page tags which is inserted into the code of each page. This tag runs in the web browser of each visitor, collecting data and sending it to one of Google. Google Analytics can then generate customizable reports to track and visualize data such as the number of users, bounce rates, average session durations, sessions by channel, page views, goal completions and more.
The tag functions as a beacon to gather visitor information. However, because it relies on cookies , the system can’t collect data for users who have disabled them.
