You can also use it to ignore traffic from admins and other users, track search results pages and 404 pages.

#2 Email Marketing Traffic

Email marketing platforms such as MailChimpGetResponse, and Constant Contact let you track traffic from links in your emails to your email campaigns.

With Google Analytics’ reports, it’s easy to compare email to your other online marketing channels and collect intelligence that covers well beyond simply the number of clicks and opens generated by your email campaign.

For example, if you use MailChimp, it lets you check one box to add UTM parameters to links when you create an email campaign, so you can view traffic from links within Google Analytics.

You can also set up Google Analytics ID to track to visit your campaign pages and hosted campaign archive, so you can see traffic to these pages in your Google Analytics account.
