Web analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of Internet data for the purpose of understanding and optimizing web usage. For example, if you started to offer a promotion on your website, you could check to see how much your website traffic increased since the promotion began. Another example is if another company allows you to post a link to your site on their website. You could again check to see how your traffic has increased since linking to that site.

For example, Dick’s Sporting Goods displayed a QR code on the big screen during a football game to offer discounts and special promotions. Pepsi printed QR codes on bottles that directed users to a custom landing page. J.C. Penney also used QR codes to let customers add a personal voice recording to gift tags. These are only a few examples of the large amount of companies using QR codes. Yes, QR codes are becoming popular among many large businesses.

An example is QR codes on food labels, and then the code directs you to a landing page with the nutritional value of the product. Also, companies are using them on signs displaying the company’s hours of operation. The QR code commonly connects to details of products even when the store is closed, or the landing page may offer coupons and special promotions. The opportunities are endless when it comes to QR codes. You can pretty much use QR codes for just about everything; people are even getting QR codes tattooed on their bodies.
