SEOmoz recently posted a couple of articles with tips on using Analytics. If you aren't using some kind of analytics to measure what's happening on your site shame on you. Get over to Google Analytics right now and sign up (http://www.google.com/analytics/sign_up.html)
Assuming you are using Analytics here are the posts
The first one,
5 Simple Google Analytics Tips You Should Be Using (http://www.seomoz.org/blog/5-simple-google-analytics-tips-you-should-be-using), really are some simple tips. Ok one involves some code, but the rest are pretty simple and helpful.
The second one, Google Analytics Event Tracking to Monitor Calls to Action (http://www.seomoz.org/blog/google-analytics-event-tracking-to-monitor-calls-to-action), does involve a bit of code to set up. Nothing too complicated, but you will want to feel comfortable editing web files. It's useful stuff as it will let you better track what's happening on your site. You'll be able to tell if call-to-action buttons are working, which is definitely something worth knowing.
Anyway thought I'd share since both posts have helpful tips for working with analytics and again if you aren't using some kind of analytics on your site, Google or otherwise, you really should be. Otherwise you really have no idea what is and isn't working on your site.
