We recently created a new analytics profile that takes all available Government of Yukon website data and rolls it up into one master report. This lets us see what pages are the most popular with users as well as many other standard web analytics data points.

Right now we only have about 5 months' worth of data to analyze but it gives us a starting point to make some strategic decisions when it comes to our website content, information architecture and digital services.
